These guys who work on Wall Street and idolize characters
like Gordon Gecko and live by the credo that “greed is good,” who make every
decision based on how much money, power, drugs, or sex it might get them are
the subject of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Previously it was Boiler Room, which
was meant to show the consequences of living that life, but became, like Oliver
Stone’s Wall Street before it, a
clarion call for a new generation of upper crust wannabes who took entirely the
wrong lessons from the movies.
