WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS... BUT IT DOES TAKES NAPS

It's not about the money. It's about the game between people.

For as much grief as I got for it, after watching the original Wall Street I changed my major from psychology to business. Truth be told, I was a miserable business student, flunking my first Econ test. After the glow of the movie had worn off some luckily I decided to return to psychology. Who knew that a bazillion years later Gordon Gecko would agree with my choice. Unfortunately, even though I made the correct decision, the decision to come out with this sequel was not. Certainly it was nostalgic at best to see Michael Douglas come back to us as this very enigmatic man who at the beginning of the movie has nothing. After the glow of that nostalgia wore off I should have made the decision to view another film. I'm not even sure a business major could have followed the extremely confusing trade talk that took up the first part of the film. It was difficult to comprehend who fit where and why and for how much. By the time the actual characters took shape, it was easier to follow but there was no motivation to do so. I was looking forward to seeing Charlie Sheen (probably the only time I will say those words) reprise his role as Bud Fox from the original film. However it was just not gratifying in any way and a waste of Sheen's time, which I think says a lot. Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan just seem to to be along for the ride in Douglas's movie. Perhaps if I had stayed a business major I would've understood the movie better, that I think is a psychology major I made the right choice.
