وول ستريت

I have to correct myself, this movie deserves at least 8/10. That's right from the start, but I won't change it (yet) up there. The quote I used in the summary line is from Jerry Maguire, just because the line works perfectly here. You have Michael Douglas in excellent form here as Gordon Gekko ... maybe the second most misunderstood character Stone has written, only second to Tony Montana. Misunderstood in the sense of Oliver Stone's intentions. Many people have taken Gekko's character the exact opposite way he was written. Stone never intended him to be that influential. But then again, those are the things, a director can do nothing about. And can also be seen as a testament for the fabulous acting! The movie is about greed and the fast way to earn money. Again Oliver Stones does not shy away from controversial material, but you might have guessed that already (or read it)! :o)

I have seen this movie dozens of times. It is a must see for any capitalist pig. Gordon Gekko remains one of the great movie villains, evil and ruthless to the core. You will love the music by Stewart Copland and Oliver Stone's direction and co-writing of a great screenplay. I went to this film expecting to hate it and loved it. This film will remind you of when Oliver Stone made REAL films. Its also a perfect time capsule for what 1980's America was like.
