Director: Oliver Stone
Starring: Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas
Greed is good. Welcome to America. Where over sized people jump in over sized cars & drive into overpaid jobs. Using up more than their fair share of the worlds resources to do so. Now we all know greed is really bad, so why do we still have greedy assholes like Gekko in Wall St.
Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is a criminal in a suit. Idolized by Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) a broker from a working class background, he takes Bud under his wing to run an insider trading scheme that ends up biting him in the ass after things get personal with Bud's old man (Martin Sheen). Oliver Stone dedicated this film to his father who was a Wall St broker & brilliantly takes us on an insider journey into the pork belly of the beast.
It's the 80's. Big hair, big cell phones & big ego's. At the end of the day how much is enough? How much of something do you need? - And how willing are you to destroy lives (including your own) to get it. Money really isn't the issue here but the lust for power, & let's not forget the need to compensate for their 2 inch nobs... ROBDIDO
