I believe that many people are enthusiastic before listening to the lectures of economists. In their eyes, this is no longer a general academic exchange, but a secret teaching on the way to make money. It seems that after hearing such a speech, the bank account The numbers will increase quickly like a stopwatch. The same mentality can also be applied to the expectations of some viewers for "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps". This "internal reference" from the world financial center has attracted too much attention before it was released, not only People in the financial industry themselves are looking forward to this. Those who once knew little about finance also hope that with the help of some economic common sense, they can understand this movie and gain some useful experience from it, and even make money. The way.
In fact, Oliver Stone himself does not have such high ambitions. After more than 20 years of reshooting Wall Street, he no longer has the original ambitions and feelings (if you have it, you can't make your pockets become drums), but It is the same as some so-called economists, hoping to take advantage of the financial crisis and "make profits from failure".
The big frame of the story of "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" is built on the background of the global financial crisis. It is based on the commercial struggles and personal conspiracies between several major economic groups, but it is carefully constructed with a tender feeling. story. Gordon, played by Michael Douglas, came out of prison and transformed into an economist. He took his new book to give lectures and lectures everywhere. He used his experience and knowledge to inspire a large number of followers, including men. Number One-Jack, his future son-in-law. This scene reflects the current status quo favored by economists, but at the same time Gordon’s housework also made him feel bad. Her only daughter had a tense relationship with him, so he finally reached a deal with Jack. He helps Jack investigate the behind-the-scenes behavior of an investment bank and help him avenge his dead mentor, while Jack has to mediate and complete the father-daughter reconciliation.
If we put aside the realistic purpose of "learning from the classics" and just look at this film from a large number of feature films, at least its basic elements are still very good. It has both a big era background and business wars, and personal emotions. Telling, such a story is supposed to have a wider audience, but in fact, the word-of-mouth has not been good since it was released. In addition to the unsatisfied audience who want to learn the way to make money, this story about family and love In fact, the story is not complete. The story development and the changes in the relationship between the characters driven by 100 million US dollars are very far-fetched. Although the father and daughter and the lover eventually resolved each other’s prejudices and contradictions, it was they because of the money. Easily transforming feelings makes people feel unreliable. This is the case for the closest relatives, so the "Chinese-style indoctrination" of "moral hazard" that this film has been doing has lost its persuasiveness even more, resulting in all clues in the end that did not reach the predetermined goals, like under the impact of the financial crisis. Like Wall Street itself, it became a chaotic battle.
The failure of the story once again proves the attitude of "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps", which is just a pursuit of hot events, and in response to those people who are sick and indiscriminately in the medical treatment, the lack of in-depth analysis and anatomy of the economic crisis, so This movie became a prescription written by a quack doctor. It was not a good medicine to cure the disease, but a box of melatonin. It didn't ask for cure, but it didn't kill people.
