Product Details of Wall Street : Insider Trading Edition

Description

Oliver Stone opened fire on the greed decade of the 1980s with this morality tale set on Wall Street. It stars Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox, an ambitious rookie stockbroker from a blue-collar background who is mesmerized by Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a Mephistophelean superbroker who specializes in corporate takeovers. Despite his initial resistance to Bud's entreaties, Gekko finally takes on the eager beaver as his protégé, schooling him in the kind of slash-and-burn maneuvers that have taken Gekko to the top. This style is far more attractive to Fox than the more prosaic but principled approach to investing preached by veteran Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook). And, at first, it's impossible to dispute his preference; as Bud's life moves into the fast lane, he quickly acquires an upscale apartment and a girlfriend to match, interior designer Darien (Darryl Hannah). But when Gekko demands that Bud not only break the law but directly undermine his union-leader father, Carl (Martin Sheen), and jeopardize the jobs and lives of his friends and family, he realizes that the cost of success might be more than he's willing to pay. WALL STREET is a riveting, testosterone-fueled tour of the Street's upper echelons, featuring standout performances by Michael Douglas and Martin Sheen.

A smart movie for its time. Entertaining almost all the way through with very good performances. Created a catch phrase and a movie character many use as a reference for someone they know.

One of my favorite movies. Gordon Gekko was a great character because he was a ruthless Alpha-Male but you never see him directly hurt anyone. I've seen the movie many times and still don't understand all the "stock market" mumbo-jumbo, but I'm better at it than without the movie.

THIS IS THE FINEST FILM EVER MADE. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with any part of production, and it's such a beautiful, memorable film.

Wall Street : Insider Trading Edition

This character driven drama gives insight into the inner working of Wall Street. It shows how, in an attempt to be "successful," if you're not careful you can sellout your values for money. Thus, leaving you rich and successful, but empty. This movie illustrates the indifference of the capitalist system, how it can chew people up and ruin their lives because of the intense competition.

"Wall Street" is a really entertaining movie. Michael Douglas' performance as the greedy corporate raider Gordon Gekko really made the film, in my opinion. His ruthless manipulation of people and money seemed completely realistic, and he also looked the part, with his extravagant wardrobe, trim physique, and deep tan. I loved the scenes where he spoke memorable lines such as, "If...
