Meredith got ALL the power and privilege this company wanted. Talking about the MAID having a drinking problem. She could have had a raging drug problem and management would have loved her even more. Sanders was totally screwed. If I was in his position, yes, I would have allowed myself to become corrupted and joined RIGHT IN with top management ranks. Meredith was positioning him to JOIN the TOP. Literally positioning, I guess. Doesn't change the fact it was morally wrong, and we see Sanders come out at the end with family and the TRUE way to rise. The right way.
What I found amusing about that scene, at the whole movie really, was how it cleverly exposed political correctness using its own tropes. Douglas's (female) lawyer saying that the system was going to defeat him even as in an ordinary sexual harassment case this would be a slam dunk exposed the double standard hypocrisy of feminism both in terms of how his character was told he was powerless AND his lawyer really needed Douglas to solve his own case for himself. Feminists hated this movie. They also hated falling down. And War of the Roses.
@PolishKnightUSA : That isn't true feminism. True feminism is to fight to raise the visibility of women and not lower the visibility of men. The two can coexist. You don't allow any woman to rise in ranks. You allow the best woman to fit the position to rise in the ranks.
It's payback time. This scene is priceless, (especially Garvin and Blackburn's face expressions), and makes the entire movie worth watching from start to finish.Tom Sanders totally outsmarted Meredith Johnson there. It truly was the last nail in her coffin.😂
I think what put an end to her BS, is sorely understated. When the guy on the left takes off his glasses "Well I don't understand it either. I thought we were buying this company because they could build things. Do you understand what the heck she's talking about? 4:25
This is a hell of a scene, but I love the later one where Tom says, "Did it ever occur to you, Meredith, that maybe I set _you_ up?" And she looks down, thinking. She'll never be 100% sure, because dishonorable execs like her don't trust anybody.
This whole movie is terrific - beautifully written, designed and acted. But it didn't get rave reviews at the time of its release 16 years ago. It was compared unfavourably with the original book. But a movie is never the book! It takes the book as a starting point - a springboard for cinematic innovation. Michael Douglas and Demi Moore are fine, compelling actors.
Couple of things. #1, had Sanders not seen Blackburn talking with Meredith in the gym as well as getting emails from Kaplan's son, he might not have had the foresight to investigate things further. #2, the beauty of this movie was a woman scorned ended up getting her comeuppance. In the book, she got her position in Digicom because she was having an affair with one of the CEO's who were going to buy the company so instead of being content of besting Sanders by being his superior in a position Sanders thought he was going to get, she decided to be Capt. Ahab and set to destroy him which ended up sinking her. This is a very underrated movie.
@@houseofmatrix6174 Well, maybe not - He would have shown himself as somebody who does what *she wants* ... He mighta been ok. (Which begs the question - SHOULD he have just gone through with it ? That's a silent question, in the movie. Sure would've *felt* good, lol .. )
@@martindebrois1472 No, the whole sexual encounter was planned by her to get him out of the company so she could blame him for the changes that were problematic that she made without his approval. She wanted to get away with it simply so she wouldn't be thrown out of the company and bear the responsibility of killing the merger that she was trying to put together. It's also implied that she was jealous and wanted Sanders position for herself and cutting costs to make the company look profitable was the perfect excuse to take over that position.
Loved both the book and the movie and remember how many reviewers panned both as Crichton just being misogynistic and anti-feminist. I thought it brought a fresh point of view to a mainstream issue that obviously has the potential to be a double standard when the roles are reversed.
Nanoforge1 It goes against the feminist narrative that all women are inherently "good" by virtue of their vagina and would never come up with such schemes.
I liked the book but even Crichton admitted that, despite how he wrote it, harassment is far, far more likely to be perpetrated by men against women. That being said, I couldn't help but enjoy this scene. :)
This was a beautiful way to slam the door shut. The character portrayed by Demi Moore believes they have all the cards in their favor, and that the outcome was going to be a blindside slam dunk to destroy the credibility, and future of Michael Douglas' character. I have always enjoyed movies when someone is set up to take the fall and pulls the rug out from underneath the plotters and schemers. Well done.
Well, it is just a movie, but as far as if it was real life, Demi can negotiate all she wants, she isn't the head of that division. For instance Micheal knows level 5 air handlers are not good enough BUT STILL he allows them to be installed?? Micheal knows that the chips are now being installed by "thumb" and he fully well knows that that will lead to the problems he has ?? The issue here is Micheal not following thru on his responsibility, not that Demi sabotaged that plant by diving in over her head (which she did).
I'm not so sure I agree with your analysis. During this scene, Meredith states that Tom wasn't informed of the changes to the product line because those decisions were "over [his] head." So Tom didn't allow them to be installed -- they were installed without his knowledge or approval despite his plan calling for Level 7 handlers and automatic chip installers. Tom had to investigate to find out the reasons for the problems. He was indeed following through with his responsibility, but part of the sabotage was to have him tangled in a completely different matter (the sexual harassment claim) so that he would be distracted from the real problems at hand. Yes it's just a movie, but it's a pretty accurate depiction of corrupt, evil practices of the people in charge of corporations -- especially technology companies.

There really need to be more movies like this. I guess people are just far too interested in explosions instead of corporate politics for that to ever happen.
+MrBraddles3128 Maybe we would if stupid hollywood would stop re-creating every damn show from the 80's. Its like they are starving for ideas. I agree with you, we need more movies like this!
That would go against the typical genres now that women are powerful only because they are manipulative and men are extremely intelligent and resourceful. Oh and men can be raped which gets almost no media coverage with the exception of the occasional female teacher on a student.
Yeah, it's disgusting. So-called adults are more interested in watching Thor and Iron Man team up to fight a CGI character. Everything is targeted at children now, because nobody seems to be growing up anymore.
"Perhaps instead of digging up Malaysian video clips, we should discuss the problems sitting right in front of us!" Man, if I had a dollar every time someone said that to me.
Merediths stubbornness & focus is her undoing. She is unable to recognize a losing battle, & keeps after the same attack long after things have gone to shit. She is unable to get her head around the idea of falling back to regroup.
no, she knows well it went to shit, but its the only bullet she has to fire, and she hopes keeping at it might distract the audience from what is really going on,... sometimes it works just watch any debate.. but in this case, it didn't. Thank God the buyer was there to cut her off: "I don't understand it ether, do you know what the hell she is talking about? " brilliant.
No she is trying to defend the indefensible - IE she was the one that ordered the changes and was stupid enough to put her signature to the authorising documents - If your going to lie make absolutely sure there's no trail anywhere that can lead back to you - money, paper or telephone
@@evangiles17 you too honest and thorough, you assume everyone would lie like you. People defend/scam the indefensible everyday and get away with it, just listen to NPR tonight and you will see it first hand. In this movie she didn't get away with it because the hollywood script writer wrote it that way, in the real world she probably would have gotten away with it, attitude and loudness count smore the logic and truth in modern day American
I watched this film when I was 14 years old in 2004 absolutely loved it and kept thinking about it the very next day whilst out skateboarding. Wishing to have a real Meredith in my life just dominate me hahaha
sexual harassment is prevalent in our society. Those in power pray on those who are not. We just never hear about men who are the subject of such harassment because our society has mostly men in power. But it definitely happens and it should be stopped. No one should feel uncomfortable going to work. We are all just trying to make enough money to buy chicken nuggets and pay rent.
The actors name is Dylan Baker. Wikipedia : On September 1, 2015, Dylan Baker tried to save the life of his neighbor, Broadway and movie actress and dancer Vivien Eng, in the high-rise where he lives in New York City when her apartment caught fire but was driven back by smoke and fire. Firefighters eventually got the seriously injured woman out of the apartment and rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe and she succumbed to her injuries 2 days later.
I remember watching that movie. It was fairly early in the high tech evolution and fascinating. I've actually encountered a few people similar to Demi Moore's character but not many. Almost all the people I've dealt with in business have been friendly, cooperative, helpful, competent; since the early sixties.
Absolutely wonderful casting in this movie. Moore and Douglas WERE the characters they played. And for the rest of the cast, I can't read about Garvin, Fernandez or Lewyn in the book without seeing Sutherland, Maffia and Miller in my head.
Roma maffia in disclosure 1-11 brought me here. And now I am going to watch the whole movie again. Watching Demi Moore's character self implode was simply priceless.
I LOVE this movie. I've worked in corporate world and know what it's like. My only question about this movie, who wanted "Tom" (Michael Douglas out)? Meredith was used as a weapon against him but who really was behind this whole fiasco? Was it his boss?
If I remember right, Garvin wasn't particularly interested in Tom being out so much as he wanted Meredith to lead the new division and be a shining example to gender equality at his company. Honestly, it's been so long and I'm not even sure if I'm deriving my facts from the book or the movie (I enjoyed both). So take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Remember Garvin specifically wanted a woman for this VP position . Plus he said Meredith was instrumental in making the merger possible. At least that was the reason they gave Tom for passing over him.
It's actually much more complicated than that. Garvin wanted funding, so he sent out Meredith to find some, and Meredith got Conley-White. Garvin's protege had been Tom, initially, until Tom and Meredith broke up and Tom went to Seattle, leaving Garvin who took that as a betrayal (see Max and Tom's conversation). Garvin's daughter died, Meredith took over her place(and effectively Tom's), Garvin used Meredith to get funding, and Meredith tried to cover up her long demonstrated incompetence by making Tom the fall-guy, and Garvin was indifferent as to whether Tom got fired or not as long as he got Meredith to get Conley-White in, regardless of how she did it. He does the same to Blackburn, but turns his back on him when Blackburn's leak of the story to the press causes more damage to the firm than to Tom. The book has a lot of themes, and it requires careful reading and analysis to determine exactly who wanted what, and who were really the most egregious villains. In my opinion, a lot of people are equally guilty, including Tom himself (see Max's dialogue about how Tom subconsciously wanted to punish Meredith for her infidelity).
@Pat Morris no he did not know the specifics, he just told her to get it done no matter what. He does the same with Blackburn, but when Blackburn leaks the story as an on the record source for Connie Walsh, he gets screwed over by Garvin for doing something like that. He does the same to Meredith. Garvin doesn't care about details, just like every other bad manager, the entire point of making Meredith his protege was not that she tried to look like his dead daughter, but it was because he hoped his daughter would one day replace him or be a big corporate honcho, and since that didn't happen he used Meredith instead, but had no affection for her otherwise.
A beautiful example of karma coming home fast and hard. Douglas and Demi Moore were really good at being adversaries with Moore being the quisentential narcissist, thinking she absolutely could not lose this one.
What is sad and I can verify happens - the higher ups are actually more interesting in playing the politics game than actually adducing and fixing the problem. Putting Meredith in charge was a dumb ass idea from the start, but then letting going along with her charades and scapegoating was stupendously awful.
Ajit Kirpekar the sexual harassment charge was all a set up, deleting of her emails and files . Protecting her self cause she knew he wasn't going to sit back and take it
I liked how this movie tackled male abuse, that even when the woman is hot, he said no countless times, he meant no, but was conspired to be gotten rid of, just like most abuse victims are. Usually in films, male abuse is sold as 'funny' such as butt rape jokes. I must watch this film again, its been years.
Few things are as satisfying as exposing a liar and therefore proving what kind of person they are.
how much can that cost me in the morning how many times.... my breakfast ...

Brilliant movie
If any real life presentations where conducted this badly and unprofessionally, investors would pull away faster than you can say "risky venture".
Roma maffia in disclosure 1-11 brought me here. And now I am going to watch the whole movie again. Watching Demi Moore's character self implode was simply priceless.
I LOVE this movie. I've worked in corporate world and know what it's like. My only question about this movie, who wanted "Tom" (Michael Douglas out)? Meredith was used as a weapon against him but who really was behind this whole fiasco? Was it his boss?
She wanted him out
If I remember right, Garvin wasn't particularly interested in Tom being out so much as he wanted Meredith to lead the new division and be a shining example to gender equality at his company.
Honestly, it's been so long and I'm not even sure if I'm deriving my facts from the book or the movie (I enjoyed both). So take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Remember Garvin specifically wanted a woman for this VP position . Plus he said Meredith was instrumental in making the merger possible. At least that was the reason they gave Tom for passing over him.
It's actually much more complicated than that.
Garvin wanted funding, so he sent out Meredith to find some, and Meredith got Conley-White. Garvin's protege had been Tom, initially, until Tom and Meredith broke up and Tom went to Seattle, leaving Garvin who took that as a betrayal (see Max and Tom's conversation). Garvin's daughter died, Meredith took over her place(and effectively Tom's), Garvin used Meredith to get funding, and Meredith tried to cover up her long demonstrated incompetence by making Tom the fall-guy, and Garvin was indifferent as to whether Tom got fired or not as long as he got Meredith to get Conley-White in, regardless of how she did it. He does the same to Blackburn, but turns his back on him when Blackburn's leak of the story to the press causes more damage to the firm than to Tom.
The book has a lot of themes, and it requires careful reading and analysis to determine exactly who wanted what, and who were really the most egregious villains. In my opinion, a lot of people are equally guilty, including Tom himself (see Max's dialogue about how Tom subconsciously wanted to punish Meredith for her infidelity).
@Pat Morris no he did not know the specifics, he just told her to get it done no matter what. He does the same with Blackburn, but when Blackburn leaks the story as an on the record source for Connie Walsh, he gets screwed over by Garvin for doing something like that. He does the same to Meredith. Garvin doesn't care about details, just like every other bad manager, the entire point of making Meredith his protege was not that she tried to look like his dead daughter, but it was because he hoped his daughter would one day replace him or be a big corporate honcho, and since that didn't happen he used Meredith instead, but had no affection for her otherwise.
Anita Sarkeesian got owned... I mean Demi Moore!!!
SNKNostalgia HAHAHA IF ONLY!!!!
That's what I call dropping the hammer! KaBoooom!
Loved this scene.
When Moore was beautiful truly not like now
anthoula tasioudi well 30 years have passed
I enjoyed this movie from start to finish.
They dont make many movies like this anymore. Shame. One of my favorite flicks.
Meredith didnt know this would happen,karma at its absolute best
Finance and marketing 'professionals' - worked with them for over 20 years and I have never met one that was worth their salary.
i love this confrontation look at 4:09 this faces are unique.
A beautiful example of karma coming home fast and hard. Douglas and Demi Moore were really good at being adversaries with Moore being the quisentential narcissist, thinking she absolutely could not lose this one.
Moore was too bitchie, for reality
Michael Douglas wants all men to know something,
“Don’t eat off the plate!”
Or as my Dad used to say, "Don't shit where you eat."
Oh no Demi Moore's character accidentally shows her true colors to the entire people
Bob tried to help her but she was too busy in her rant.
Such glorious justice. I lose sleep at night dreaming up scenarios where I'm able to stick it this severely to someone this conniving.
“Malaysian government does not own shares of digicom, all of these people here do.” that look on her face is priceless😂😂😂
Yeah that was *quick* , of him! Appreciated, since in the past in the movie he had NOT been ...
I enjoy this part of the movie.
Gotta love Michael Douglas' power-mullet
Business in the front, party in the back.
What is sad and I can verify happens - the higher ups are actually more interesting in playing the politics game than actually adducing and fixing the problem. Putting Meredith in charge was a dumb ass idea from the start, but then letting going along with her charades and scapegoating was stupendously awful.
Ajit Kirpekar the sexual harassment charge was all a set up, deleting of her emails and files . Protecting her self cause she knew he wasn't going to sit back and take it
Demi Moore played the role of "bitch on wheels" to perfection!
I love the sound of Michael's voice here
I think demi did a good job in this film
All he had to do was bait her...
I liked how this movie tackled male abuse, that even when the woman is hot, he said no countless times, he meant no, but was conspired to be gotten rid of, just like most abuse victims are. Usually in films, male abuse is sold as 'funny' such as butt rape jokes. I must watch this film again, its been years.
My favorite movie. It shows that everyone is different and everyone gets treated differently...... Regardless.
