GoogleOliver Stone's uber-villain Gordon Gekko is back in the new
film, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which (surprise!)
features greedy capitalists behaving badly. It might remind you of
Avatar, Mission Impossible 2 or roughly
a zillion other films in which capitalists destroy the
environment, concoct killer viruses, harvest organs, and cover up
murder in order to feed their lust of profit. Even when capitalism
isn't the primary target, the representatives of commerce are often
flat-out repulsive (think Jabba the Hutt).
Perhaps it's ironic that Hollywood filmmakers practice what they
preach against. Sure he palls around with socialist dictators Fidel
Castro and Hugo Chavez, but there's no doubt Oliver Stone hopes to
rake in obscene profits with his new flick.
Approximately 1.35 minutes.
Written and produced by Ted Balaker; Associate Producer: Paul
Detrick; Post Production Supervisor: Hawk Jensen
