Wall Street: Money never sleeps

[V10Silver]

Every one in America should see this movie. This is the movie that will explain in SHEEPLE terms what the hell is and was going on in the market is 2008. The names were changed to protect the guilty but it was pretty accurate if you followed the events of the fall of 2008.

When Gecko is talking at Fordham near the beginning it gave me chills that hollywood would make such an accurate depiction / explanation of the events.

My prediction is that this will be the film that wakes people up. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

I very much plan on seeing this flick. Which in and of itself is a very monumental happening for me, as I haven't seen a first run movie in a theater since the premier screening of "Saving Private Ryan".

Yes, Oliver Stone is suddenly America’s hottest market timer, as well as the voice of the inner “American Soul,” warning investors of a collapse. Remember the Crash of 1987? One-day 23% drop. Happened just before his 1987 “Wall Street” film hit the theaters. He says he can’t predict the future. Don’t believe him: Even if he’s unaware of his “source,” it’s stirring again, rising from deep in what Carl Jung would call the “collective unconscious” of the “American Soul,” warning us again of a collapse, using Stone as a stock trader’s “alert.”

Wake up Wall Street!
This film’s your biggest market timing signal of 2010!
Seriously, why now? Why after 23 years, did Stone decide to update the message of his famous 1987 “Wall Street.” Great question: The interviewer was Michael Lewis, former Salomon trader, author of Liar’s Poker, a guy who understands Wall Street’s soul.

Stone’s answer is in “Greed Never Left,” Lewis’ Vanity Fair review of Stone’s new movie, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” Stone had to think about it: “Why did I go back?” Why? “Because it’s important. It’s the collapse of capitalism and the collapse of our society. It is. Our way of life is going to change.”

The “collapse of capitalism?” Yes, Stone’s predicting the “collapse of capitalism.” Not just a stock market crash, the “collapse of capitalism.” He’s predicting the “collapse of our society.” Worse, Stone’s predicting: “Our way of life is going to change.” Is this really a market timing signal? Hey, it was in 1987. Will history repeat? The odds say yes.

Remember Stone’s predictions when you see the sequel, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” Lewis says Stone’s goal is not just to entertain you for a couple hours then send you back home to continue denying everything Wall Street’s fat-cat bankers, the real Gordon Gekkos, are doing every day to destroy capitalism, destroy democracy, destroy your retirement portfolio … no, Oliver Stone, the All-American filmmaker of Born on the Fourth of July, Platoon, JFK, Nixon, W, World Trade Center has a message … wake up America, you’re sleepwalking.

Wake up? America is unprepared for the coming disaster
Stone’s message is clear and powerful: You’re ignoring the coming collapse of capitalism … of our society … collapse of America. We are ignoring the end of our experiment in democracy. We are unprepared … “our way of life is going to change.” Wake up.

Unfortunately, Stone’s voice will likely be as ineffective in 2010 as in 1987. Few listen. Since the first film we’ve had bigger bubbles, bigger busts. Remember the Asian-Russian crises of 1997-98? Dotcoms in 2000? Subprime meltdown of 2007-08? “Oliver Stone’s 1987 Wall Street succeeded brilliantly in capturing a culture,” says Lewis, “and failed miserably as a call for change. To the director’s dismay, thousands of financial hotshots dreamed of becoming Gordon Gekko.” It was like a recruiting poster for terrorists. Why?
Wall Street insiders and Main Street day traders are by nature optimists and opportunists. It’s in their DNA. The love crises and volatility. Like the bomb-squad experts in “Hurt Locker,” they race into the kill-zone. This is a game to traders. They love the hunt, the thrill, the adrenaline rush … they have to minimize the risks, deny the danger, ignore the consequences as they rush in to capture the moment.

Seriously: Lewis says “Michael Douglas often expresses his astonishment at the many Wall Street males who have sought him out in public places just to say, ‘Man, I want to tell you, you are the single biggest reason I got into the business. I watched Wall Street, and I wanted to be Gordon Gekko.’ The film’s equally perplexed screenwriter, Stanley Weiser, has made the same point, in a different way. ‘We wanted to capture the hyper-materialism of the culture,’ he said. ‘That was always the intent of the movie. Not to make Gordon Gekko a hero’.” Remember, greed never left … greed never will leave.
