I saw this film on 11th October at Stratford Picture House
Gekko is out of gaol, hated by his daughter, snubbed by his former colleagues but his prospective son in law fawns on him and he is still an inspiration to almost everyone else although apparently now a profit of doom.
The hero Jake has a touching faith in fusion energy, I don't suppose he ever heard of ZETA, and although almost completely wet behind the ears seems much sought after on Wall Street.
This is sanitised capitalism. Other than the merchant banker who commits suicide because his bank goes bust (he built it so cannot bear to see it go down) very little is shown of the effects of the meltdown. The worst shown to happen is the hero’s mother has to go back to nursing when her property business goes bust because her son can only (!) give her 30K dollars. The American dream continues financial meltdown or not.
