CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Gekko (Michael Douglas) speaks to the shareholders of Teldar Paper and declares that "America has become a second-rate power."

FILM DESCRIPTION:
"Greed is Good." This is the credo of the aptly named Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), the antihero of Oliver Stone's Wall Street. Gekko, a high-rolling corporate raider, is idolized by young-and-hungry broker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen). Inveigling himself into Gekko's inner circle, Fox quickly learns to rape, murder and bury his sense of ethics. Only when Gekko's wheeling and dealing causes a near-tragedy on a personal level does Fox "reform"-though his means of destroying Gekko are every bit as underhanded as his previous activities on the trading floor. Director Stone, who cowrote Wall Street with Stanley Weiser, has claimed that the film was prompted by the callous treatment afforded his stockbroker father after 50 years in the business; this may be why the film's most compelling scenes are those between Bud Fox and his airline mechanic father (played by Charlie Sheen's real-life dad Martin). Ironically, Wall Street was released just before the October, 1987 stock market crash.

If you notice: when he levels himself with the shareholders he literally walks in between them to create an us (he and the shareholders) against them (the board) mentality getting the shareholders on his side.

This was actually a pretty good speech. He was persuasive.

The Oscar for Michel Douglas performance was absolutely justified 🗽.

christophaltmann

As good as Micheal Douglas is, I still think he is underappreciated. This guy is a great actor.

This scene is a subtle means of directly speaking to the viewing audience without obviously breaking the fourth wall. The Gekko character does this to good effect throughout the film. I think this is why Douglas won the Oscar and why this role is so well regarded and remembered 35 years later.

GEKKO in 1987 “The trade and fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions…”

2022: hold my beer…

1:23 "You're out of line, Gekko!"

KevinLopez-jfys

Such a inspiration speech.

In public speaking. When you start saying figures and numbers. He did his research and numbers dont lie. People do.

The guy ready to dismantle the company snaking his way into making the masses believe he’s one of them.

“This is an outrage, you’re outta line Gekko”. ..says the clown with the Golden parachute.

samson

One of the best scenes in the history of cinema

I see it everyday where I work. We have more management than anything and most of them are accountable for nothing.

The point Gecko misses is he doesn’t know who puts the covers on the TPS reports..

lewisgreen

When he talks about americas decline and comparing it to the company he's saying that America began to fall when property requirements were no longer necessary for the vote.
