 Wall Street review Product Description
Set during the height of the late 1980s insider-trading scandals, WALL STREET stars Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox, an ambitious young broker who falls under the spell of superbroker Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). Wall Street DVD Initially awed by the glitz and wealth of the older man, Bud is all too eager follow his commands, especially after enjoying their results. Wall Street movie But he soon realizes that he too is merely a pawn in Gekko's game, as he labors frantically to disentangle his loved ones from the consequences of his own ambition.
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. ...See Full Description

| Scary Person
Gordon Gecko is great in his "greed is good" speech. Douglas plays a chilling Wall Street "player" it's hard to believe they're people like him.

Wall Street video hahaha, yes Good Movie I love when Mikey Douglas says: "Go To WORK" to Charlie,, that inspired me to give my best in any project I had, will have, when Charlie says "Hey Dad, there is no more proud in being modest and poor" that describes how these days and WE became so hungry for the money, money is good "Greed is good" but not in excess, is like wine, is good , but not in excess.
