Blog #2: Wall Street (1987) Shinya Uchida

  Good morning, every guys. How is your super long-long-long summer vacation??? For me, this summer is last as the college student, but everyday can not make me enjoy. I just did my best doing a lot of part-time jobs during half of summer vacation  in order to make money for September.
So I will try to enjoy myself by doing new things in September. In september, I'm going to go to Karuizawa in Nagano by a rent car that I will drive and travel to Nagoya to meet prospective employees with whom I will join a company next year.

 Anyway, I watched an amazing movie,THE WALL STREAT, which is American drama movie so famous and popular. This film was made by William Oliver Stone in 1987.

 Storyline is  Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), a junior stockbroker at Jackson Steinem & Co, want to be the richest man in the wall-streat. One day, Bud visits the office of Gordon, a merchant banker, as part of operating activities. However, a dealer under exclusive contract has already been in Gordon's company, and he does not show interest in Bub's information. And then, Bud decides to leak the inside information suddenly heard from his father who is the labor-union management of "Bluestar airline". As a result, Bub is able to get his big interest and succeeds in taking a trading-of-securities order from him. After that, his work is so fabulous and gets much money with Gordon's company but you have to remember that this trading between Bub and Gordon is "Insider trading".

 At the end of this film, the both were arrested because they are accused of the bad dealing with lots of money. With regard to Bub, he has a light sentence as he helps police to know Gordon action that is worse than Bub. Actually, Gordon just plans to dissolve Bluestar and sell off the company's assets secretly. That is why his behaviour against Gordon is interesting for me and the climax can take us to unexpected world but there are such as trading all over the world, so it may be real situation. I has been studying economics, management and finance(finace is a little) in Gakushuin. I think that this film not only has educational aspects to learn about how to  realize which stocks we have to buy and sell, but also teaches me that buy and sell a kind of financial product sometimes makes people change badly.
