Capitalism is also susceptible to these positive loops, and, in my opinion it just happens to be how dominant business structures crowd out subordinate businesses by simply existing. KZread itself is a great example of this positive feedback loop, as a dominant company with no competition, simply because it's user base have no where else to go... because the defining growth factor is based on well..the amount of the user-base. Personally, i believe that all positive feedback loops do have an equalizer...much like the human race's exponential population growth might eventually be equalized by a variety of factors...But in the meantime we deal with the tyranny of humanity upon the earth. Capitalism's monopolies probably also have an equalizer too...but what exactly would that be? When will KZread be equalized?

movie is almost 40 years old, nothings changed only thing that has changed is the way they word things. "Its all about bucks kid, the rest is conversation"

Back when Hollywood still original movies, movies put together by creative people, a collaboration of artists coming together and telling a story. Before the race to the bottom in sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots!

'Wall Street' is in that rare subset of truly great films - where almost every single line of dialogue can stand on its own as a golden quote. Casablanca, Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction, Margin Call, Hunt for Red October...same.

As a young man of the 80's, these words became the gospel for me on pursuing capitalism. I don't think many may realize what a"zero sum game", really means. That there really are no winners or losers, that the money just merely changes hands.That you can't take it with you.

Were you born yesterday? Anyone idiot with half a brain knows what's going on. Were you asleep in 2008 during the mortgage crash? Did you not know that the Feds are basically devaluing our currency by their constant printing of money to solve the problems they've created. That's a drop in the bucket.

0:54 the camera operator is actually dancing with Michael Douglas here. Terrific work

Man... this is still an old time great movie even 30 yrs prolapse. Gorden was RIGHT and this is the real world.

I just realized why this scene is even more great, its all one shot, wait, almost one shot. Rare for a film in the 80s

Memorable speech! My favorite of the movie.

TraumaER Yup, me too. Saw this movie in the early 90’s - sure woke me the hell up as to what really matters and what goes on... especially this scene...was able to retire somewhat early because I was no longer “walking around blind without a cane”

Harry Smith I was just an uneducated draftsman - technical drawings. What I learned from this movie is all that matters is money and the piling up of money (excluding family, faith, and health of course). Democrat or Republican don’t matter. Figure out who the money men are and run with them. Money always wins. Always. Study the markets like the idiots study reality tv or the kardashians. Love your money and it will love you back.

This scene is just one great quote/truth bomb after another but I like the play on the old adage “ a fool and his money are easily parted “ turned into a fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place .

lol i love the start "what the heelll do u want" delivered in typical 80s fashion

People with money and wealth have so much power and influence in our country for a long time.

Movies like this make me terrified of winning the lottery since there's some guy like this out there waiting to steal it.

Great camera work, you can tell how heavy it was on the operator's shoulder.

Years later he loses it all, goes off the deep end, and gets shot by the police after he spends a day just trying to get home...

I never wanted to become like Gordon Gekko so I worked low paying jobs to keep my pride.

Such a brilliant scene I usually have to watch it twice

I've always had the idea that Gekko decided to wreck the airline to get back at Bud's father for calling him out at the meeting with the union heads.

WOW!! That's a GREAT observation--never thought of it that way before but Gekko's ego was so massive that ANYONE who dared to challenge him would be thrown under the bus PDQ!! So this certainly could have been the motivation behind Gekko's move--well done!!

great scene with so many truth bombs. Is it just me or you can clearly tell the two different levels of acting here? Michal Douglas is elite and make charlie sheen look like amateur hour!

They should be make another sequel with Gordon Gecko becoming president.

Great actors

Gordon takes no prisoners

I don't know what it is, but this type of WallStreet Environment filled with no feelings bullshit thrills me to the max. I Defenitely see a future in this.

To be fair to Gekko here his motivation was explicitly about money from the very beginning.

Talking in circles is a skill in itself.

Nothing really changed in 30 years TBH!

There's a lot of wisdom in this movie.

Gordon forgot to tell him that it's enough when the illusion bubble finally bursts and you find your ego has no cash value when the man comes to collect. 😂

Ben Franklin nooooo ahahaha
