Chronicle Special "Greed is greed. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed confirms the nature of the evolutionary spirit. Greed may save the U.S.A." Director Oliver Stone, who shook the world with his numbing portrayal of Vietnam in Platoon, now questions the values of the business world in his latest goldâ€"plated testament Wall Street. In this firstrate look at the insider/outsider financial wheeler dealers in the stock market, Stone attempts to prove that the moral carrion on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange is comparable to the spiritual insolvency that was Vietnam. Stone based sharpshooter Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) on an acquaintâ€" ance of his, who in very short time made a fortune on the stock market, in this story of ultimate seduction, corruption, loss and redemption. Wall Street also partially stems from fraudulent antics of broker David Brown (convicted for insider trading) who actually served as Stone‘s advisor for the film. Stone, whose other cutâ€"toâ€"theâ€"quick screenplays include Scarface and Salvador, was able to shoot segments of Wall Street inside the New York Stock Exchange, a cinematic first. Robert Richardson‘s frantic camera angles heighten the tension, as the camera lens becomes a predator in this morality play. Sheen is Bud Fox, a likeable, gullible, green college kid, who has to pull about $100,000 a year just to occupy a space on the floor. He yearns for the other side of the phone. Underneath his business suit body language this stocks consultant is a good guy, but easily tempted as the next guy. He knows hard work, having worked for his father‘s depreciating airline Bluestar. Yet Bud figures easy money is the easiest money. In the urban culture of the ‘80s the pressure‘s on Bud to produce, produce, produce, keep a million ahead of the Jones. Money is created to make more money. Damn ethics and values which become incredibly twisted in the process. Stone clearly indicates that inside traders make much more than penny ante outsiders. Stone‘s father, Louis, who spent 50 years as broker, taught his son its real Monopoly. He is determined to bag an elephant, a little fish swimming for the Big Ticket, Fortune Magazine is Fox‘s Bible, the Wall Street Chronicle his Newâ€"Age Testament. Fox decides to go for the cover story. He begins dangerously trading inside information with multiâ€" millionaire Gordon Gekko, a 24â€"karat Lucifer, who is so cool he doesn‘t even sweat. Here‘s a guy who would sell his mother and send her _ Gekko plays Fox like a grand piano, as Fox models himself after the teacher. Fast money and fast women. Darien Taylor (Dary! Hannah) is a glamorous spender of other people‘s money. Michael Douglas (Fatal Attraction), Charlie Sheen (Platoon) and Martin Sheen (Apocalype Now) all give Wall Street petrified dramatic impact. Veteran Hal Holbrook actually plays Stone‘s father, Louis, to whom Wall Street is dedicated.
