I see Wall Street as an amazing enigma. It was enlightening to realize that Stone went from winning an academy award for a war film to flipping straight away to a wall street movie that was a huge risk. The balls. The level of consciousness. The master craftsman and artist. Amazing.

not being a smart ass here but how exactly was it a huge risk? it was a dramatic movie (like platoon), featured a fictionalised but plausible plot against a real setting (like platoon), featured already established stars and and charlie sheen (like platoon)...i'm really not seeing where the big risk lies in making a movie like wall street after platoon.

Much Much respect for uploading. This movie is pure magic and stone is a sheer genius. He's all about the details. In that park scene at the end where gekko decks fox. If you notice Gordon greets him first, when fox first meets Gordon at the start he introduces himself. But now fox Is the one with the power at the park and Gordan speaks to him first. In Scarface another stone classic Tony Montana calls Elvira "pussy cat" when their fighting and the relationship is going south but when he is in lust with her he calls her a tiger. It's these little attention to details that makes stones films so re-watchable and stands the test of time. And btw I just farted.
