DVD Reviews of Wall Street (20th Anniversary Edition)
DVD Review: Wall Street is a Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite movies of all time. Made in the mid 80's, the lessons of money and greed on Wall Street reverberates more than ever in these tough economic times. A must see for everyone.DVD Review: STONE TRIED TO DISS CAPITALISM, GLORIFIED IT INSTEAD
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1987 OLIVER STONE again starred Charlie Sheen, this time as Bud Fox, along with Martin Sheen and Michael Douglas, in "Wall Street". Stone, like Coppola's "Patton", tapped into a part of America he really wanted to discredit, but instead glorified. Based on the go-go stock markets of the Reagan '80s, it is loosely based on inside arbitrageurs and junk bond kings like Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken. Fox/Sheen is an idealistic, ambitious young stockbroker, his father is his conscience, and Douglas as Gordon Gekko is pure tantalizing temptation. Fox must violate SEC laws and get inside information in order to do business with the "big elephant" Gekko. Gekko's star fades when a big deal-gone-bad has personal ramifications, and Fox turns a dime on him. The film is supposed to show that America is a greedy place that "produces nothing" in a "zero sum game" in which the rich only make money on the backs of the poor. Gekko's (Stone's) statements about economics are pure, unadulterated economic lies shown to be lies simply by?observing factual things. Where Stone may have had second thoughts was the reaction the film got. As the years went by, he and others were approached countless times by Young Republicans and Wall Street execs who told him the depiction of the exciting world of finance led them into that very career, which they thanked him for! Stone had hoped to create an egalitarian class. Instead, he created a decade full of Gordon Gekkos. They in turn fueled the dot-com boom. It was not unlike the Democrats who hoped to expose Oliver North and the Republicans in the Iran-Contra "scandal," only to discover that millions thought Ollie and his White House pals were doing God's work in fighting Communism.
Res ipsa loquiter.
DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Wall Street wastes Daryl Hannah but makes up for it with a magnetic Michael Douglas in the lead; it's not one of Oliver Stone's best but it's effective and enjoyable enough.
DVD Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simply a must have. An 80's classic with and excellent perfomance of Michael Douglas, with one of the most powerfull names ever... Gordon Gekko!DVD Review: This could happen to anyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to find a really good Charlie Sheen movie but this one is for sure!
The scenario is great because it is something that can happen to anyone. Its particularly prevalent in today's environment because we apparently have ALOT of people just like Bud Fox. A young man finds that in order to get what he wants out of life he has to bend the rules. Then, in true fashion, BIG BROTHER takes him down so that they can turn him on the big fish, Gordon Gekko. I have seen this happen a dozen times in life.
Daryl Hannah, Michael Douglas & Martin Sheen all round out this allstar cast. Put it in your collection.
Description of Wall Street (20th Anniversary Edition)
In this riveting, behind-the-scenes look at big business in the 1980's, an ambitious young broker (Charlie Sheen) is lured into the illegal, lucrative world of corporate espionage when he is seduced by the power, status and financial wizardry of Wall Street legend Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). But he soon discovers that the pursuit of overnight riches comes at a price that's too high to pay.Michael Douglas won an Oscar for perfectly embodying the Reagan-era credo that "greed is good." As a Donald Trump-like Wall Street raider aptly named Gordon Gecko (for his reptilian ability to attack corporate targets and swallow them whole), Douglas found a role tailor-made to his skill in portraying heartless men who've sacrificed humanity to power. He's a slick, seductive role model for the young ambitious Wall Street broker played by Charlie Sheen, who falls into Gecko's sphere of influence and instantly succumbs to the allure of risky deals and generous payoffs. With such perks as a high-rise apartment and women who love men for their money, Charlie's like a worm on Gecko's hook, blind to the corporate maneuvering that puts him at odds with his own father (played by Sheen's offscreen father, Martin). With his usual lack of subtlety, writer-director Oliver Stone drew from the brokering experience of his own father to tell this Faustian tale for the "me" decade, but the movie's sledgehammer style is undeniably effective. A cautionary warning that Stone delivers on highly entertaining terms, Wall Street grabs your attention while questioning the corrupted values of a system that worships profit at the cost of one's soul. --Jeff Shannon
