The director seems to be a fan of Ken Takakura

Think the Joker is anti-social? Watching "Invasion of Wall Street", maybe the subject matter is too taboo to be hyped, but I feel more deeply after watching it. The story is based on the burst of the financial bubble in 2008, and it is still outdated today.

Joker, you can say he is mentally ill, from a bad family, etc. But the protagonist of the invasion of Wall Street, just like you and me, has normal work income and family, and gradually loses everything under the design of Wall Street.

It is said that the king of bad films is a turnaround, but the psychological transition of the characters is very delicate and not like a bad film. The wife's cancer became the beginning of the tragedy. Wall Street is designed to deceive people, and it is hateful. But I was cured of cancer and knew that a bunch of expensive and painful cancer treatments were scams. The part where the wife committed suicide in order not to drag on the husband made her nose sour.

The director does not know whether he is a fan of Ken Takakura. The protagonist is too similar to the basic social figure played by Ken Takakura. He is taciturn, tough and tough, impulsive and dangerous, and his rude appearance hides delicate feelings. A man full of masculinity, very much to my appetite.

If you want to watch the sequel to this film, you can watch Ken Takakura perform "The Call of the Distant Mountain".
