华尔街 Wall Street 1987

《华尔街》不算奥利佛·斯通的重要作品，不过也能找一个理由去看它--那就是巧合。这部以"华尔街"命名描述内幕交易的片子上映前两个月，美国股市上演了黑色星期一，道指一天跌了两成，进而引发了从欧洲到东京到香港的全球股灾。

道格拉斯演了一个靠内幕交易发迹的投机大鳄，精明、阴险、不守信用，为了财富不择手段。他这样阐述自己的"贪婪"哲学:The point is, ladies and gentlemen: Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed works, greed is right. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed in all its forms, greed for life, money, love, knowledge has marked the upward surge in mankind - and greed, you mark my words - will save not only Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

贪婪是资本主义的种子，也是资本主义的病灶。片子延续了斯通电影中对美国价值观的反思，对于一个在越战中粉碎美国梦的导演来说，这并不令人惊讶。
