The film shows how fraudulent schemes can resultbut at the same time it lets you see the “spirit” of Wall Street – competition, dirt and, of course, fabulous money.
“Boiler Room”
A fascinating picture from 2000 that answers the pressing questions of many about the gap between rich and poor: why do some people's wages differ hundreds, if not thousands, of times? Why can a person without special education and experience earn money, but a skilled professional survives on a salary? The photography captures with a dynamic plot and vivid and memorable characters, such as aggressive business promotion tactics, not always with honest methods. The essence of the film is your business must be defended at any cost and under any conditions, this is the only way to achieve success.
"Wall Street"
The image was filmed in the late 1980s, but the principles of doing business depicted in it remain relevant today. At the center of the plot is Bud Fox, a young stockbroker for whom there are no obstacles in the way of success. A prominent representative of the “yuppie” generation – holder of a degree from a prestigious university, for which the future is bright and promising, and the ends justify the means. His idol Gordok Gekko is a successful trader who agreed to teach the young man how to do business. It is soon discovered that Gekko does not disdain "dirty" subjects and even tries to drag the main character into them. The value of the film for the entrepreneur lies in the presentation of the main principles and secrets of professional trading.
It is not difficult for the reader to realize that all the events of all the films presented take place and were filmed in the USA. The most remarkable ups and downs of world-class business giants have occurred in this country since the formation of the empires of Henry Ford and John Morgan. Therefore, after watching any movie, an entrepreneur (especially a beginner) will be able to better delve into the “big” business spirit to understand that even world-class companies often started with just one idea, perseverance and hard work and make sure this rogue game is always fraught with consequences.
