How It All Works

Abstract: Abstract The late 1980s were an exceptionally good period for director Oliver Stone. Winning Academy Awards as best director for the films Platoon (1986) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989), Stone won accolades but was ultimately passed over for the equally provocative film Wall Street (1987) in which he analyzes the inner workings of fictional corporate raider Gordon Gekko. Michael Douglas, who won the Academy Award for best actor portraying Gekko, captures the no-holds-barred capitalistic spirit of the film with his shocking but memorable line, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”
