Once upon a time there was New York, there was Wall Street in New York, there was an old bastard and a little bastard in Wall Street

At that time, Charlie Sheen's career was booming, and Douglas was not as old as he is now. Both of them were good at acting as a bastard, an old bastard and a little bastard. Martin Xin was also inside, and it was obvious that the father and son were one level higher than the son's performance in the short section of the elevator. The movie only gets interesting when talks about the acquisition of Bluestar begin, when Bud Fox's two "fathers" meet. One represents the emerging American spirit, capitalism, and individualism. Just like Gekko's unabashed discussion of "greed", his speech involves the driving force of the American dream and the evolution of human enlightenment; while Fox's father represents down-to-earth Manufactured for the sake of the company, not the individual. The two dads have been fighting since they met, vying for the son of Bud Fox, who is like modern America, oscillating between two ideologies. Since the meeting, the filming method of the film has also become more typical. Although there are traces of hand-held shooting from the beginning of the film, the hand-held method is more obvious when it comes to the shooting in the elevator and the confrontation between Bud and Gekko in the back. It also makes the audience feel more real. In the last shot, when Bud Fox accepted the fruit of what he sowed, the shot began to rise gradually. The protagonist of the story gradually became a drop in the ocean. People suddenly realized that this is just a corner of Wall Street, and the same story is still going on. It keeps happening in this ghost place over and over again. As for the various business battles and stock trading, I didn't understand it at all. Fortunately, I didn't choose a business major when I chose a major at that time.
