It is considered a classic and has played a role in portraying what happens behind the doors of real estate agencies and what some real estate agents and salespeople are willing to do to close a deal with a client. They are four salesmen, Roma (Al Pachino), Levene (Jack Lemmon), Moss (Ed Harris) and Aaranow (Alan Arkin), who work in a real estate office owned by Mitch and Murray. Their challenge is to convince their clients to invest in potential real estate in Florida. Blake (Alec Baldwin) plays a tough, rich, successful guy who barges into the office and seems to have some sort of authority. He curses and yells at everyone in the office. He also tells them how bad they are at what they do. He's basically trying to "motivate" them, and the way he did that was by announcing that they will all be fired and that they will have a week to get their jobs back. The office supervisor, Williamson (Kevin Spacey), was given the “protagonists”. They looked like a stack of flashcards with addresses of potential customers. Blake started a war between the four employees rather than fair competition. Blake's "speech" tore down salespeople and made them feel worthless. This fueled frustration and tension between the employees and their supervisor to the point that most of the jokes in that film included insults and expletives. Almost all the scenes in the film were very intense. They are working on strategy and the goal is to make a sale, whatever it takes. Even if it requires immorality or illegality. It seems that...... the center of the paper......r. Moss wanted to make sure he had an alibi (since he would be the prime suspect in the theft), so he blackmailed Aaranow into breaking in and stealing the leads. He was basically framing his colleague to commit a crime. Aaranow seemed hesitant, but in that particular scene they didn't mention whether or not she would do it. The fifth unethical practice is theft. After the conversation between Moss and Aaranow at the bar, the office was broken into and the premium tracks, as well as other documents and phones, disappeared. While the investigator was in a room with Aaranow, Levene was having a conversation with Williamson and his tongue slipped. He confessed to the theft and selling the tracks to their competitor. Levene's helplessness and desperation do not justify his actions. But is it his fault alone? Or about the entire entity and how it operates?
