I just watched this movie. It’s so bad! Why? What am I missing?

    To really really love this film, you kinda have to be familiar with the era that this film came from. Specifically, the absolute love of money=success of the yuppie culture of the 80’s. Also, ultra violence was a big thing in movies from that time.

      For more context, watch Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” with Michael (greed is good) Douglass.
