"Wall Street"

I loved this movie, when I saw it first time in 1990 in Moscow. While it is definitely a critique of the Wall Street machinations, I sympathized with the corrupt financier Gordon Gekko then and thought that overachiever-turned-criminal-turned-idealist Bud Fox was an idiot. And of course there was magnificent Daryl Hannah. :) Fast forward 17 years. The movie looks in different light now. Bud Fox's illegal janitorial hijinkses look just that - illegal. Gordon Gekko's high life has lost some of its luster. The effort to save Blue Star airlines and its unions seems rather silly considering the long history of real-life airline failure, consolidation, government bailouts and rise of low-cost carriers. This might be a better story to be told by someone like Michael Moore, but with libertarian bend. Only Daryl Hannah remains timelessly beautiful. And one-liners. "Greed is good". How true Gordon. 7/10.
