Wall Street: Money never sleeps (23/9/10)

Would be better if you're from the finance or banking industry to watch this film. I'm writing this from a point of view where I know nuts about brokering or investment. So what, if there was a previous sequel? I'm not gona compare with the previous one. Michael Douglas is selected as a cast, mainly to just look good and a stereotype of an experience and wealthy man with full of insight in investments. Making comparison to a movie of a similar interest, Capitalism, a love story, which I watched last year, gave me a better understanding of the industry that better than this. This film, Wall street, by foxmovies, of course, would and have to produce a higher standard film that covers all aspects of emotions. From the title, you wouldn't expect love scenes, or father-daughter relationship problems, but those are the parts that brings the viewer closer to the movie in practical terms. Capitalism had more content but Wall street is rather balance.

Watch to see how Michael Douglas, cheated his daughter and her boyfriend of 10 million dollars. He seems really trustworthy, insightful from the start but that was not his motive. Once he got the money, he disappeared and set up his own company to be back in Wall street investments. You'll see a really old man, whom I wonder if he knows what he's talking, is actually giving the advice over decision making issues and he will be remembered for his bird-like whistling, especially towards the end.

I wouldn't recommend to anyone who know nuts about investment, banking or brokerage. 2.5/5 rating in my opinion. Not that its lousy, but it's boring. On the other hand, its rather intellectual.

If anyone doesn't know it yet, Michael Douglas is now battling critical stage cancer. I wish him speedy recovery. Would love him back in future films. Have anyone thought about doing such banking/finance films that includes things like man having affair with another lady to get her money or promotion or higher investment payback. I mean these are practical in the real world so why not spill it out. Maybe an R21 wall street film in future.
