In two nights, I finished watching the movie "Wall Street" starring Michael Douglas. This is a classic commercial war movie. The financial tycoon Gaeger starring Douglas has turned upside down on the stock market and made no secret of his greed. His speech and demeanor are full of aggressive and self-confident personality. Everything seems to be under control. Obviously, people with this personality are either completely obnoxious or fascinating and admirable. In the film, Bud (Charlie Sheen), a stockbroker who just graduated from New York University who still needs to repay his student loans, despite his ideals and hard work, is still struggling to make ends meet, living in distress, and struggling at the bottom of Wall Street— -Everyone can find his own shadow in him. By chance, he approached the stock market tycoon Geiger by wit and changed his life. Bud began to use his father, classmates, colleagues, and all possible opportunities to spy on the news, and provide the intelligence to Geiger for insider stock trading. So money, mansions and beauties, everything rolled in. In the process of acquiring Blue Star Airlines, where Bard’s father worked, the greedy Geiger took advantage of Bard and broke his original promise to disband and sell the airline. This conflicted with Bard, whose conscience and justice existed. So Bud made a counter-attack and saved Blue Star Airlines, but he was eventually imprisoned for engaging in illegal stock trading. There was a time, and maybe even now, I was extremely obsessed with everything about Wall Street. The bookcase was full of books such as "The Great Game", "Hedge Fund Records", and "The Confession of a Wall Street Addict". In the minds of the public, Wall Street is a place where the talents of the elites who graduated from the prestigious Ivy League schools are concentrated. These people have extremely high IQs, bright personalities, and full of energy. They work at least 12 hours a day, even the most junior. With more than 60,000 U.S. dollars, the air he breathes is filled with the smell of money and wealth. In this fascinating mood, I am eager for all books on business warfare, finance and stocks, and think that I have read all the commercial warfare novels that are published and popular on the Internet, but it is obvious that only looking at the description of the text is not enough. , Because there is also the movie "Wall Street". By the way, the financial and business war novels in mainland China are only in the stage of enlightenment, and the good and the bad are mixed. The best written so far is Ding Li, who is expected to become China's Arthur Hailey. And I admire people who have work experience shorter than a rabbit tail, have not experienced a complete round of bull and bear markets, but can fabricate novels such as fund managers, capital swordsmen, and finally understand why the book industry does not The reasons for the boom. Regarding the question of why I am obsessed with Wall Street, I think Napoleon's words may be an answer. Napoleon said that a man's career only exists in two places: on horseback and on the belly of a woman. In the era of peace, there is no war. You can't mount a horseback to charge and fight bravely to kill the enemy, but you can find this feeling in the stock market and financial market. Through computers, networks, and terminals, you can become a general and a commander in a battlefield where you can't see the gunpowder, dispatching all currencies and thousands of troops to fight. , Will you be a winner or a loser? Everything will naturally see the difference. This is a zero-sum game. If someone makes a lot of money, someone must go bankrupt. The so-called one will succeed forever, and it may not be more appropriate to use it in the financial market. For men in this industry, K-line charts look better and more interesting than women's S-shaped figures. To use Douglas' lines in the film, the sense of accomplishment of making money is "better than sex." In the movie "Wall Street", the conflicts between greed, money and human nature exist all the time, but in fact, this conflict is also permeated in our lives. You may work hard like a dog, full of ambitions and ideals, but you are only struggling on the edge of survival, living in no fixed place, running around for three meals a day, without seeing hope and dreams. And there are people around you who are inferior to you, but they can live in a high position, enjoy life in a luxurious mansion, and enjoy life. At this time, will you shake your beliefs in life and the principles of survival? Just like Geiger taught Bud in the film, "Work for your life? I bet you stay up late to analyze the bad stocks you want me to buy, right? What good do you get? My father sells electronic parts and works hard every day. But he died of a heart attack at the age of 49, and he owed a butt of taxes without paying.” I happened to relive the "Lei Luo Biography" starring Andy Lau on the cable TV station last night. When Lei Luo first debuted, he also wanted to be an honest A good and promising policeman, but in the face of cruel reality, walks on the same path as others, and is darker and more greedy than others. About greed. Sometimes this term is not a derogatory term. Many film critics say that "Wall Street" is a film to defend human greed and desire, but in my opinion this is a matter of opinion. The director just created a greedy tycoon with a very personality and charm, and the final outcome is obviously to face legal sanctions. Human-oriented greed, the process of everyone's struggle is a history of satisfying personal greed. Geiger's wonderful speech at the shareholders meeting may be what the film critics said to defend greed. "Greed is good, greed is right, greed is useful, greed can clarify everything, overcoming obstacles and breaking the essence of evolution. Greed is all forms. Greed for life, for Love, for knowledge... Greed stimulates the upward motivation of mankind. Greed, remember what I said, not only can save TEDA Paper (the company), but also save the United States, which has a maladjusted mechanism. "Many of the lines in the film were expressed by Gaige, played by Douglas, in an assertive and self-confident language. His gestures were extremely charming, and Douglas's performance skills were fully demonstrated during relaxation. I think this is how he won the 87th Oscar winner with this film. The reason. Regarding success. I think the standard for most Chinese people to measure success is obviously to use a person’s wealth, status and power as a measure of evaluation. This is the same as Geiger in the film and the same as Bud. Of course, until the end he woke up. Bud and his father had a fierce confrontation about this. Bud believed that his father did not support his acquisition of Bluestar Airlines. He was jealous of the fact that his son was more successful than him. It was lacking. Give it a go. Bard’s father said, “The person you see is never measured by the thickness of the wallet.” In Hollywood movies, you often receive the main theme they instill invisibly, Christ The spirit of the disciple is to be loyal to his wife and family, be upright and upright, work ordinary and hard, and use a man's body to support the family with a green shade, so that the wife and children can live a happy life. This is the success and greatness in their eyes, all Similar similarities can be found in all of the American films, and it resonates deeply with the audience. On the other hand, Chinese films can only be speechless. The role of Bud’s father in the film is impressive, with few words, and more Most of them are performed through eyes and body movements, and they perform an ordinary, upright, and deeply paternal role. His actor Martin Sheen is actually also an actor who plays Bud, Charlie Sheen’s father. In fact, I have always been skeptical of the view of "human nature is inherently good." Humans are also animals, and we are not noble and purer than other animals on this planet. On the contrary, humans have learned to wear the cloak of civilization to hide themselves as animals. The inferior nature of the film seems more hypocritical and cunning. It is very annoying for some film reviews, which often associate people's greed with capitalism. Are people in socialist countries more noble and noble? This has nothing to do with the political system, but just the nature of human beings. The Eastern society seems to generally believe that "human nature is inherently good", so for thousands of years it has been centered on the rule of man, and the prosperity and fairness of the country and society have been based on the emergence of "sages, upright officials, and emperors." Western societies believe that "human nature is fundamental." "Evil", people always have shortcomings and are easy to make mistakes, so a complete set of supervision, law, decentralization, and checks and balances have been designed. In fact, in the final analysis, the human nature under the earth is interlinked and has nothing to do with what social system belongs to. Tie. At the end of the film, it is still the main theme of Hollywood. The conscience of justice overcomes greed and desire, and Buddy’s meritorious service recorded the conversation with Geiger and handed it to the Supervision Bureau. In fact, it’s hard to believe that Geiger can be convicted by just a short recording, because the director laid the groundwork before: At a family gathering, the lawyer asked Bud to sign the document, authorizing Bud to deal with Geiger. The account is fully authorized to handle every transaction, and the purchase and sale of stocks has nothing to do with Geiger in law. Compared with Geiger, Bud is the difference between a sheep and a jackal. In Geiger's words, "Sheep are to be slaughtered." Lines in the film. Gaig, played by Douglas, often teaches Bud in the film, confident, greedy, naked and straightforward language, which is impressive. "People outside buy stocks by guessing. I don't want to shoot at random. I only do the most sure thing." "You (Bad) are not as smart as I imagined. Have you ever wondered why fund managers, Can't beat the Stamp 500 stock index because they are sheep, and sheep are to be slaughtered." "Harvard Business School graduates, most of them are inferior to shit. (Stock trading) This business needs poor, smart people, enough. Hungry and thirsty, cold-blooded, loses and wins, but keep fighting. If you need friends, raise a dog. The outside world is a close fight." "Wake up, friend, if you are not an insider , Then you’re out.” “I’m not referring to the old-fashioned living in Wall Street with an annual salary of 400,000 yuan. It doesn’t matter if you sit in first class and live comfortably. I’m talking about large sums of cash, enough to buy a plane on your own. If you are rich enough that you won’t waste time, I’m not talking about fifty million or one hundred million. If you don’t become a real player, you can only become a nameless man.” “The law of American companies seems to have become that the unwell survive. And my opinion Yes, you either do it right or you are eliminated." "(Make money) This is not a question of enough. This is a zero-sum game. You either lose or win. Money itself does not lose or win. It just changes hands. It’s like a conjure." "I don’t create, but I can have it. The rules are made by me, my friend!" The confrontation between human greed and moral laws has never stopped. Greed is the devil and a scourge. It will devour our souls and tear our hearts and bodies apart. But we must also maintain the necessary greed, knowledge and life, which is also the driving force for us to strive forward. As Engels said, human greed, desire and insatisfaction are the levers that push human history forward. But what kind of balance and what scale to maintain between the two may only be answered by everyone. Maybe we can only use Kant Talk about masturbation: There are only two things in this world that can deeply shock our hearts, one is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the lofty moral laws in our hearts. my bloghttp://blog.sina.com.cn/xiaotianbugu
