almost like an upstanding member of Wall street

If Gordon Gekko were in WoWS, he would actually be 2nd most moral character in that movie, after Kyle Chandler's FBI guy.

How could you be a member of Wall Street dummy? It's not a yacht club

reply


I know its not a club, I mean he works on Wall street and is respected and hated within that business community.

Alright my bad, shouldn't have called you a dummy. I apologize

Gordon Gekko is actually the protagonist of the movie Wall Street. Bud Fox is the real villain.

reply

Yeah, he ratted on Gekko. Gekko was just doing his best making money. 😀

No I still think Gordon Gekko trumps Wolf of Wall Street guys. He's way more calculating and emotionless. Doing drugs and wildly spending your money like Belfort is a pretty critical weakness.

Gordon Gekko may have been a villain but Douglas gave him a sense of charm and style that made his character really enjoyable to watch. It's funny because this movie was probably an inspiration for cockroaches like Jordan Belfort who ended up taking that portrayal by douglas too literally. DiCrapio plays Belfort as a piece of rat excrement who no redeedming features (and worse, he is a real person unlike the fictional portrayal in this film) - he wasn't fun, interesting, funny or anything. Just human garbage. Gekko at least seemed like a human being and acted like one, which is why he looks so good compared to those guys in WoWS.

WoWS is pretty much a disgusting movie. This film is a masterpiece.


Buckle up back there, we're going into... hyperactive
