Honestly not that uncommon when you're in a highly competitve industry. Its like one fashion designer knowing the happenings and rumors around other fashion designers in their area competing with them.
@@cameronjohnson6355 Not to be the "Well actually guy" but actually the quote ultimately derived from a quote by the French Protestant reformer John Calvin (lived 1509 - 1564), who wrote something similar to this as part of his interpretation of Psalm 146 in the fifth volume of his Commentary on Psalms. Here is the passage from John Calvin, as translated into English from the original French by Reverend James Anderson: “When he says that in that day all his thoughts perish, or flow away, perhaps under this expression he censures the madness of princes in setting no bounds to their hopes and desires, and scaling the very heavens in their ambition, like the insane Alexander of Macedon, who, upon hearing that there were other worlds, wept that he had not yet conquered one, although soon after the funeral urn sufficed him.” John Calvin seems to have come up with this story from a misreading of an anecdote recorded by Plutarch in his essay “On Tranquility of Mind,” which is included in his Moralia. Plutarch writes, as translated by W. C. Helmbold: “Alexander wept when he heard Anaxarchus discourse about an infinite number of worlds, and when his friends inquired what ailed him, ‘Is it not worthy of tears,’ he said, ‘that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we [i.e. human beings] have not yet become lords of a single one?'” This anecdote from Plutarch isn’t about someone who has accomplished all their goals and then can’t find anything more to accomplish; this anecdote is about human frailty and insignificance.
There are a few misquotes in the movie to see if the audience is "looking", which is the entire point of all the main characters. They saw what was going to happen by looking at the actual data rather than just thinking everything would be alright.
His voice cracking makes it so much better
I always thought Gosling is a okay actor, but feel like in this movie his performances are off the chart, played a gaint douche beautifully

I hate how much i love this film.
0:51 what we all came for.
whadya hear Tony
F in the chat for Tony
Tony: "umm, that you're jacked to the tits?"
Alex pissed his pants while running down the stairwell, they say.
Jared just killed Tony probably.
I love that they make vennett a tool. It was Alexander the great not Julius Caesar who wept for there where no Worlds left to conquer
He was close, Alexander the Great never said that, but in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, Caesar quotes him saying that.
@randOmZ TV Neither of them actually said that or wept. But the actual quote is about Alexander
@randOmZ TV Actually, Alexander died in Babylon while returning to Macedonia, he was coming back from India.

God damn it tony
Tony is dead
Caesar wept, lolz
Anyone know the Tony actors real name?
It's Tony
he's not an actor, he's the movie's executive producer.
Alexander the Great* wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. Why do so many movies get this wrong?
I don't know about every other movie, but The Big Short purposefully does this. In the beginning of the film they have another misquote.
Ceaser quoting Alexander the Great in Shakespeare. Not a direct quote from Alexanda the Great -- so not wrong, not right.
