Speaking of this film, I have to talk about the 1987 predecessor, which starred Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas side by side, and staged a wonderful story of fighting, ups and downs in the financial ocean of Wall Street. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years later, Wall Street, located in the southern part of Manhattan in New York City, is still the center of world finance. The copper bull that symbolizes the bull market still stands, and the protagonist in the story puts a greedy man in the stock market. The handsome uncle Michael Douglas, the perfect interpretation of the turbulent stock market tycoon, is now in his sixties. Last time, because of his excellent performance of this role, he won the Oscar for best actor. What kind of performance will he have this time? His role itself has become the biggest attraction and selling point of the film. However, for some viewers who have not seen the previous work, the "Transformers" male: Shia LaBeouf (I believe he will be called such a name for a long time in the future, perhaps throughout his entire acting career) and personal Considering that Carey Mulligan, who is the sweetest-looking actress in Hollywood, plays the male and female roles respectively, it can be said that the investors are quite thoughtful about the appetite of audiences of all ages.
The story also continues the plot of the previous work. At the beginning of the film, the director of the previous work, Oliver Stone, arranged for the financial master Gordon played by Douglas to be released from prison. Several years of prison life and the big defeat before he was imprisoned made this man. The relationship between the handsome old man and his daughter has dropped to a freezing point, and this time, Jack LaBeouf, a stock trader played by the male protagonist, has an intersection with a man who once dominated the stock market because of this beautiful daughter Winnie. The stock market, which has been separated for eight years, has not reached the point of vicissitudes, but it has long since changed. No matter who is in charge during the period, countless people are going back and forth. Only interests and money will never fall, and they will never fall here. There is no shortage of speculators who yearn for money, and there will never be a shortage of businessmen who disregard morality and law in pursuit of profit.
One side is trying to save the father-daughter relationship, and it is Kishi's father who turns back, and the other side is the boyfriend who seeks revenge for the boss who helped him and knew the favor. Vinnie's father and boyfriend formed an ally for their own needs. The choice of Vinnie in the cracks has become the biggest attraction of the film, except for the revenge of the male protagonist. Whether to accept his father's repentance, whether to accept his boyfriend's betrayal, and in the increasingly dangerous financial wave, he gets the guidance of his prospective father-in-law. Can Jack succeed in getting his revenge and bring the more abhorrent version of "Gordon" to justice?
A classic film from many years ago was turned out by "Old Fox" to make a sequel in this era when the sequels are flying. Such a story allows the audience to remain sober in the tide of the bull market. Those Wall Street darlings who seem to live a glamorous and luxurious life, the sins in the shadows and the steps in the fight against the sea are shocking but not for most people. known. Perhaps the day before, he had rented the most spacious and luxurious office in the most expensive part of the city, with countless funds flowing through him every day. It may have turned around at night, and the corpse had already floated somewhere. At this time, everyone realized that in fact, it had already lost hundreds of millions of dollars and could not be recovered. The stock market is risky, so be cautious.
