The film still tells a story about Wall Street, but this time the focus of the story is different from the previous "Wall Street", or more accurately the way the two films are presented. "Money Never Sleeps" connects the relationships of many characters. In this place on Wall Street, whether it is Jack's teacher's suicide, separation from his girlfriend's quarrel, helplessness to his mother, or the entanglement between Gordon and these people, the film shows It is more about the relationship disputes between characters. In fact, the reasons for deep exploration are the same - people's greed and desire. I think this is also the theme that the director wants to express. The huge impact of the financial crisis on the United States and the unpreparedness of many people are reflected in the film, but when I watch the film, I feel that the film seems a bit messy, the jump is too large, and some parts have not fully understood before entering the next segment , so I can fully understand it by borrowing some information on the Internet. There are two details that I am very impressed with. One is the jewelry worn by the ladies at the charity party, especially the earrings, which are close-up; a hint. No matter when the fight over money on Wall Street will never stop, it is also precisely because of this that people's desires and greed are more and more endless, especially when Jack asked James how much he wanted to quit Wall Street, James's answer The "More!" film also shows the power of Chinese investors, which is also a reflection of the director. And I don't quite understand the ending, and Gordon's return may not be entirely a discovery of conscience. Because this is Wall Street!
