The world of clearly marked prices

Wall Street in New York, the holy land of capitalism in the world. There is never a lack of a mixture of various market participants, their rise and fall are full of tricks and majesty like an epic. The story happened on Wall Street in New York in 1985. Bard, who has just graduated from university, dreams of making some achievements in the fiercely competitive stock industry, and making a fortune before the age of thirty. He met Gordon, and the "instigator" Gordon Geike was full of deceptive charm in his gestures. At the Telda shareholder meeting, he stated that "greed is good" and explained to Bud what happened when the Bluestar company was destroyed. The argument that “capitalism is the best”, a worldview based on an extremely expansive and selfish foundation makes Gordon’s “wolf character” undoubtedly revealed, and every one of Gordon’s highly provocative lines naturally becomes a reality. This is the golden rule that drives egoists mad.
In the movie, Gordon played by Douglas recalled how he felt when he made a lot of money for the first time. It was simply "better than sex." Thus, in the process of chasing money again and again, Gordon, who was greedy, cold, selfish, and talented and unscrupulous, tasted the pleasure of seeing blood from a fly, which also subtly affected Bud. It turns out that the abundance of capital allows the owner to enjoy life to the fullest, but the dirty scene behind it is always turned into a shadow that makes people difficult to escape by the brilliance of luxury.
Commodity society makes people begin to become money puppets. In the process of pursuing interests, people are often not looking for their own lives for their interests and hobbies, and all the relationships between people and society have become naked interest relationships. In a world where everything is clearly priced, love, friendship, and even personality have all become shirts in the window. As long as you can afford the price, you can get the color you want. Bud, who was sinking deeper and deeper, finally woke up under the influence of his upright father, and returned Shi Gordon in his own way...

    What left a deep impression on me was that every time Bud entered the company, the long shot with dark tones and monotonous repetitive visual elements, accompanied by noisy sounds, accurately portrayed the impression that the financial industry left on people. More than 20 years later, when a new financial crisis hits, people still criticize the financial industry the same: greed, not creating value. This is the success of Director Stone, or the failure of the modern economy.

    Greed is the first servant of the business war. Everyone on Wall Street, regardless of their status, has their own money fairy tales in their hearts. Therefore, trampling on the law and destroying human nature is no longer an impossible path.
