Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

This icon by Oliver Stone is fast forwarded to 2008

, and it begins with Gordon Gekko's release from prison. I saw this in a little movie theatre in Oxford Mississippi where our winter offices are in the shadow of William Faulkner. As writers and market observers we felt it our civic duty to run out and see the movie and come back to the salt mines and tap out a review for youlike any journalist, I like to have fresh facts and experience so you may see the world thru my eyes.

Shia LeBouf played the new millennium Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen had a cameo) as a husband to Winnie Gecko and a Wall Street tomcat that has an eye for Alternative Energy. The CEO of the AltEnergy Company was the weird lookin Doctor in Forest Gump who made the funny sounds.

Shia is a great leading man in 2010 and no doubt this movie will gross more than $300 million, and bless you Oliver Stone, not because every movie you make but because every movie you make is able to capture a piece of its time and transform the screen into a portal. In this case the portal was 2008.

2 things were clear watching this movie 1.) Michael Douglass was going thru some shit after the death of his son and looked haggard, and 2.) The events of 2008 /market/housing crash influenced and chronicled this movie in a way only Oliver Stone could capture.

Much like Any Given Sunday it captures reality in a way we all see, but only Oliver seem's to get to the big screen, but in the case of WS2 he has a great performance by LeBouf, and a strong close by (Dougless) Geckko, it was clear the movie was shot over a long period and much time was spent in the editing room.

Positive editing only Oliver can do where he utilizes split screens for effect and unique camera shots which are his trademark as a director. But he also carry's the axe of a director who wants to relay a message and he succeeds here in many ways. the villain is played by Josh Brolin and he gets most out of the role as a Wall Street FatCat.

I will say the difficult decision in choosing Winney Gecko failed not because of the script, but because the studio seemed to opt for a too young a version of the heroine who could not carry the role in this flick. I'm sure she will mature and has all sorts of chops, but in the critical scene she kept making a face like a chipmunk.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps can never embody the significance of Wall Street plucking a piece of the 1980s iconic film, but I hope Oliver Stone can continue to proper and make more films because few directors get that momentary minds eye which can accurately reflect our times.
