Wall Street - 6

This is an interesting movie about the stock trading culture of 1985. This is even a timely movie now with all the scandals of CEOs and white-collar crime. It is a question of greed, and as the villain says, "greed is good" and if America can realize it than we can be a true superpower. The film deals well with what it means to care. If you only care about money than people and one's own values are going to get sacrificed. The main character, Buddy, ends up having to make the crucial choice between caring about others or caring about success as defined by Wall Street.
