Deja Vous All Over Again

Read these words spoken by Gordon Gekko and try to remember, if you can, when the world was different.

Gordon Gekko: "The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you. "

Wall Street, the film, has reached its 20th anniversary. The film was first shown in 1987. The sights and the scenes have changed, but not Wall Street. We had a Senate Investigation two weeks ago and what did we learn? Wall Street is greedy and has the same mentality. Gordon Gekko or his facsimile is still in charge and the world is beating to his drummer. It was a little frightening to see Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas working their way through the streets and buildings of New York City. Making money, the name of the game. We all know the story, and we all know how it turns out. Except there is always someone to take their place. Time moves on. The most amazing part of the film for me was to see John C McGinley, he of 'Scrubs' in his younger days, and James Spader, he of "Boston Legal'. Martin Sheen, Hal Holbrook, and Sean Young. Micheal Douglas, as the young, handsome and ruthless Gordon Gekko, won an Academy Award for his performance. Wonderful performances, all.

I urge everyone to see this film again. It is a wake-up, again!

Highly Recommended. prisrob 05-03-10

Charlie vs Michael

This is my favorite movie of the 80's (sci-fi excluded). It really puts me back in time, and totally captures the essence of the decade. Am I excited to see a sequel? Yes and no. Yes, because I love this story, and I hope a sequel will properly expand the story. No, as most sequels stink, Shia leaves me cold, and the trailer was.....weak. The original WS is a near perfect movie depicting the decadence and greed of the people running wall street in the 80's, and is perhaps a lesson to us living in 2010 as to what can happen when greed has no limits.

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.
