4 New Clips of ‘Money Never Sleeps’!
Thanks to Cinema Blend, we are now able to watch the newest four clips of Money Never Sleeps! Enjoy!
Clip #1: Gordon Gekko’s (Michael Douglas) relationship with his daughter Winnie (Carey Mulligan) isn’t good and this is our first taste of not only Winnie’s angry feelings towards her father but her fiancée Jacob’s (Shia LaBeouf) fascination with him.
Clip #2: In this scene, Money Never Sleeps attempts to illustrate the way in which rumors, even when people know they aren’t true, can drastically impact the price of a stock.
Clip #3: In this clip Oliver Stone relives everyone’s reaction to the financial crisis of 2008, as the media screamed that the whole thing was going to melt down at any minute, while we the public just sort of sat there, stared blankly at our televisions, and busied ourselves with other things since, well, most of us didn’t and still don’t have any real understanding of what the heck was going on. The scary thing about what happened in 2008 is that even a lot of the people involved in the financial industry (in this case played by Shia LaBeouf) didn’t understand what was happening, and they too sat there blankly, in front of their televisions, just like the rest of us.
Clip #4: In this scene Stone attempts to illustrate the way in which one, small piece of hard journalism on a small website could impact the financial community in rooting out corruption. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how realistic this is. Dozens of articles of all types have been written on Wall Street corruption over the past few years and how much impact has it really had? Judge for yourself. You’ll also get a look at one of Oliver Stone’s two cameos in his film.
