Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (Stone, 2010)

Fizz, does the infamous quote "Greed is good" find its way into the sequel?

Yes, in his opening speech addressed to a public for the launch of his book, Gekko mentions that he once said "Greed was good, but now its legal", this is in the trailers as well. Apart from that, his book has the obvious reference too in its title. However, the film focuses a lot on bubbles - the word is used innumerable times and there are at least 3 shots of, yup, you guessed it, actual bubbles hovering in the air!

Stone isn't exactly known for being nuanced, so the literal bubbles are not a surprise.

what's the exact opposite word of "greedy"? i'm that word.greedy people sicken me..

you know i'm fine with greedy people who are actually greedy for a purpose.meaning, they want more because they need more but if you want more just for the sake of it then you are sick.the majority of people i know who are greedy are stingy or have problems when it comes to spending.

i guess it all comes down to how you were raised and i'm thankful to say i was raised to thank god and be grateful for whatever i have.

I think the opposite of Greed is Contentedness which you certainly don't seem like you are.

no no Contentedness is a big word.i would say maybe Thankful or Grateful or Satisfied is the word.

P.S. i wouldn't say i'm a content person.....yet. i try to be though.

Crap. This doesn't even seem to be worth the KFF. I'm happy I decided (at the last moment) to watch The American instead of this. Now that was a film worth my money.
