Review of Wall Street (1987) by Jean-Philippe G — 29 Mar 2014
This film is just as great as I thought it would be. With its mature and astute look at the culture of corporate greed that was prevalent back in the 80's, this film takes you through the eponymous Wall Street in ways that subsequent films never could.
The characters were simply a joy to watch, driven by excellent acting and great lines, and this helps the plot immensely because the plot is driven by the characters themselves. The film's sense of style is also worth mentioning, because the overall look and sound of the film ties it to the time it was made and adds a sense of atmosphere.
For me, the drama of this film couldn't be possible without all the elements being in the right place at the right time, and there are moments where I genuinely feel like I'm seeing the events unfold.
In conclusion, Wall Street is a great film with a great message, delivered in a more subtle and artistic fashion than anything else like.
