The era has been separated by 23 years, and I watched these two films almost 23 minutes apart. It is inevitable that there is a sense of emptiness. As soon as the film opened, Gordon Gekko was released from prison with his face full of vicissitudes. This film captures a few eye-catching elements of the previous work and pays tribute, including Gekko's 80s big brother, re-citing the "Greed is good" speech, and even the other male protagonist Bud Fox of the previous work also specially invited to show his face and Gekko's narration. After a while, the handsome young boy is now middle-aged in vicissitudes, and he can't help feeling again. Even the exaggeratedly dressed up real estate agent has appeared again, but I am not sure if it is the same person. Lord Oliver Stone still has a Hitchcock-style trick. This time he is an investor sitting behind the screen. His son is also there, but he will definitely not be a baby 23 years later.
For me, the first tragedy of this film is the young male pig, the male pig I hate the most, the male pig from Transformers. This is instinctive disgust, for unknown reasons. The heroine is okay, the short hair image is quite attractive.
The amount of information in this new work is also very large, even surpassing the previous one. With the subprime mortgage crisis as the background, the bankrupted investment bank in the film clearly alluded to Lehman Brothers, and the famous meeting that was not rescued was fully reproduced. It just adds a Stone-style conspiracy theory-Lehman was maliciously fired by Goldman Sachs. The investment bank where the film’s first anti-corner is located should correspond to Goldman Sachs, and the final outcome is suspected of being investigated for illegal funds. However, despite the large amount of information, the technical content and sincerity of the plot of this work are obviously inferior to the previous work. Not to mention that the protagonist’s motivation was that the “Lehman” president jumped into the subway to commit suicide. After reading related history, we can find that the gang of Wall Street rascals are bankrupt and stand upright. How could there be such a suicide. ? The boy pig’s dumb fish performance is not comparable to the predecessor actor. As a 21st century idol star with a weird taste, he does not have the professionalism of Michael Douglas going deep into Wall Street to experience life in the predecessor. As a rookie, facing domineering customers, he is not afraid to talk and talk, and he does not have the jerky and trembling feeling of the predecessor actor. Relying on the old Michael Douglas to hold the scene. The helpless old man has fewer scenes, and most of it is spent thinking about her daughter and trying to reconcile with her daughter.
The technical content of the financial plot in the film has also regressed, basically returning to the level of mystery in general Hollywood movies, and at most some frauds. However, this film mentions the first speculative activity "Tulip Mania" in human history. To make matters worse, the film turned the cart before the horse, feelings became the main thread, and the life and death of Wall Street seemed to have little to do with the relationship between the hero and the heroine. However, the emotional line is the most unreliable element of the film. A short-haired MM can make short-haired MM tearful in a few words. The most absurd thing is that in the end, why is it that the person who is different from Daitian smiles and hates? Surprised.
Nevertheless, this is still a work by Oliver Stone. I saw Stone tried to put as much information as possible into this film. The content and layers of this film are quite rich, and many shots are quite creative. It’s just that there is no such in-depth study spirit as the first film. At the same time, it does not take the audience’s mood to watch the movie too much. There are many technical aspects that make the film more difficult to understand. I believe many people watch it. I feel boring.
Of course, the film will be so diligently introduced and released simultaneously, which is inseparable from the appearance of Chinese investors in it. What is interesting is that at the end of Boston Legal, the Chinese appeared to acquire an endangered law firm. In this era of panic and depression, Americans have a distorted impression of China. They believe that China is a new generation of power, who can save the world economy and become the master. They ignored the contradictions and problems in China. Of course this is the thinking of the American public and the media. Those bastards who believe in Wall Street agree that China is still synonymous with stupid people and a lot of money.
