  In 1985, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), a junior stockbroker at Jackson Steinem & Co., is desperate to get to the top. He wants to become involved with his hero, the corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a ruthless and legendary Wall Street player, whose values could not conflict more with those of Bud's father Carl (Martin Sheen), a blue-collar airline maintenance foreman and union president.。。

  Bud是纽约大学的毕业生,华尔街的失意经济人。在一次和大老板Gekko的面谈之后,改变了自己的生活。他为Gekko寻找内幕消息,成功获知了另一位投资人Lerry要收购ANC Steel的信息,帮助Gekko赚了一大笔钱。并成为了他的合伙人之一。Bud从Gekko那里学了很多,包括操纵股市和孙子兵法。最后在收购他父亲工作了一辈子的Blue Star Airline一案中,Bud和Gekko产生了“兴趣上的严重冲突”。以其人之道还其人之身,Bud用Gekko教的反击了Gekko,并挽救了Blue Star。但也因为操纵股市而入狱……

  [2] Glengarry Glen Ross 拜金一族

  The film depicts

  two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen who are supplied with names and phone numbers of leads (potential clients) and regularly use underhanded and dishonest tactics to make sales. Many of the leads rationed out by the office manager are impoverished individuals lacking either the money or the desire to actually invest in land。

  There was controversy over lines in the play, and in the movie adaptation of it, in which it was claimed prejudice was shown against people from India. As a result, Mamet removed the language from the latest Broadway revival. The controversial dialogue is included in the movie version about a potential lead from the Patels, a family from India.。。

  推荐理由:当房地产进入萧条的时候,美国房屋中介的销售顾问都在忙什么?看他们如何利用数据库,如何门到门地将房地产销售出去,如何在萧条期包装房地产,如何瞄准新婚家庭的住房需求。
