Until the end, Douglas said: You know how to solve the current problem. NS? The answer is three words...
——The audience held their breath.
Douglas slowly uttered three words: "BUY MY BOOK!"
At the same time, I finally blurted out three words: "Lang Xianping!"
Yes, Lang Xianping is the soul of the whole film, and Lang Xianping is the outline of the script. As an old artist who cares about politics, Mr. Oliver Stone used this film to complain about the subprime mortgage crisis two years ago, and his level has reached the level of Mr. Lang Xianping. In other words, it is not worth mentioning.
For example, there is a word in the movie that appears very frequently: "moral hazard." Douglas explained the term "moral hazard" in the film like this: You give your money to someone else to keep it, but you don't know whether that person will be responsible for your money. ——And the villains in the film happen to be extremely morally unreliable, and speculate with the hard-earned money of the people. It is so critical to attribute financial risks to ethical issues.
Contrary to the morally corrupt villains, the actor Shia LaBeouf (starring in "Transformers"!) pinned Oliver Stone's idea of salvation. So what exactly is the way of salvation that he pointed out for us? The answer is: when the financial predators are obsessed with speculative games, he is the only one who is persevering in fighting for investment in a green new energy project. Listen! New energy! Green! Industry! Politically correct!
Such complaints about current affairs and such themes first make this film completely not the so-called "commercial war movie" in my imagination. The plot setting and characterization are all serving the theme. The advantage is that it is not conventional, but the disadvantage is that it is not as conventional. Even though many details are still quite skillful, there is always a chaotic sentence, and the plot is quite arbitrary and far-fetched.
In addition to the main line, there are also auxiliary lines of family and emotions. This line performs quite well most of the time, especially when it is closely integrated with the main line and not disconnected. But in the end it fell into a far-fetched stereotype. In short: Love, the invincible love of the universe, ultimately defeats capital, interests, and all worldliness unreasonably and unexpectedly... Reunion, The end. Hollywood is rich in the world's most beloved movies. "Love can redeem everything" is the eternal theme of Hollywood, just like "Being happy is the most important" is the eternal theme of TVB. bored.
Oh, yes, the important setting for the birth of love is: the heroine is pregnant, and the fetus resolves all the contradictions between husband and wife, father and daughter. This reminds me of a paragraph: Feng Xiaogang showed Wang Shuo the script of "A World Without Thieves" back then, worried that the heroes and heroines were thieves, and they were too negative to pass censorship. Wang Shuo pondered for a moment and said: Let the female thief become pregnant. All problems were solved in one sentence. It can be seen that both at home and abroad, a pregnant woman who appears in the movie is the Virgin Mary, and the role is like the goddess descending from the world in traditional Chinese novels.
There is an important episode in the film that mentions China: investors from China have become a life-saving straw for Wall Street. A group of Americans were at the negotiating table to please the Chinese, as if they were facing the trial of fate with trembling. If last year's "2012" flattery to China was just a fiction of a sci-fi blockbuster, then everything in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" this time is true: we are indeed the major creditors of the United States. Seeing this, how can we not spontaneously develop a sense of national pride, self-confidence, and feel deeply proud of ourselves as a Chinese. Although the middle-class mother of the protagonist in the movie bought a house with a swimming pool at every turn, it made me painful to cover my face and turn to one side, but I decided to continue to be a Chinese in my next life.
Finally:
rumors of the world, to understand the film better, many backgrounds must be known: one is the first "Wall Street" made by Mr. Stone in 1987; the second is the subprime mortgage crisis a few years ago (at least you need to know the movie Which bank refers to Lehman and which bank refers to Goldman Sachs?). Sorry, I don't know both of them. Even so, I don't think that somewhere in the movie is "unintelligible." Perhaps you will lose some perspectives if you don't understand the background, but this "Money Never Sleeps" can definitely be viewed as a completely independent movie. Please rest assured on this point.
