WALLSTREET 2


Regie: Oliver Stone
Buch: Alan Loeb
Starring: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Eli Wallach

WALL STREET, Oliver Stone's critical assessment of the stock market in 1987 is, rightly well as one of the great classics of film history - everything fits in perfectly! As so often holds true: a successful work should be allowed to rest in peace at best, especially when such a catastrophic nonsense like WALL STREET 2 - THE MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is mortised.

Wall Street - Rest in Peace

Why is it that Oliver Stone's latest film has gone completely in the shorts? First you have the director of the slope to absolute superficiality attest. It starts with the fact that you actually a metaphor for the collapse of the stock market by the uninspired image of a bursting bubble. In this film, the Internet is still depicted with colorful tunnels and glowing letters, which are reflected on the Faces, the people. In general, the entire stock market looks like it had sprung from the 1995s movies HACKERS - There is a lack of credibility on the one hand, on the other side feels the wooden symbols kidding plain and simple. Oliver Stone sets date by his action tinkering around the banking crisis, but this seems so designed and wooden, it's that, as an audience just do not feel taken seriously. MONEY NEVER SLEEPS suffers from a significant symbolism of allowing a subtle style can be no question anymore. What was the original nor a critical look behind the facades of the stock market, here gives way to a listless rolled down soap opera without structure and tension. Shia LaBeauf [TRANSFORMERS 1-28] gives the terribly unpleasant and stupid young brokers and is visibly overwhelmed, while Josh Brolin [NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN] in the role of instant villain is probably the one-dimensional performance of his career.

A point goes to the soundtrack

The film is a long playing time of over langweillig two hours just terrible, which is due to the confused and often trivial story of revenge and relationships because hilt not a pretentious or forced upon the motorcycle race short guest appearance by Charlie Sheen. The only thing worth seeing [or worth listening to] the great soundtrack by Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. Only a little message at the end: Dear Oliver Stone, after such terrible films such as Alexander, WORLD TRADE CENTER and now WALL STREET 2 - THE MONEY NEVER SLEEPS, it would be finally time to retire. Please do us this favor.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK


Director: David Fincher
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Joseph Mazzello
book Aaron Sorkin

Even before speaking one of David Fincher's film as "the godfather of a new generation of computers. The film can redeem on the success story of Internetphänmens "Facebook" this claim? First you have to say one thing: THE SOCIAL NETWORK is no glorification of the myth "Mark Zuckerberg," but takes a very sophisticated look behind the events of the creation of a gigantischen Massenphänomens. Letztenendes bezieht der Film keine Stellung und Fincher [SIEBEN, FIGHT CLUB, DER SELTSAME FALL DES BENJAMIN BUTTON] wagt es nicht ein urteilendes Fazit aus der Geschichte zu ziehen, man kann es ihm sogar sehr hoch anrechnen, dass die Figuren seines Filmes fast durchweg als Unsympathen dargestellt werden.

Der Drang nach Vernetzung

Dramaturgisch kämpft der Film etwas um sich die vollen 120 Minuten über Wasser zu halten. Es gelingt David Fincher zwar ein [fast] spannendes Shakespeare-artiges Drama über Liebe und Erfolg zu knüpfen, aber die Geschichte die dahinter steht wirkt zuweilen etwas künstlich aufgeblasen. Trotzdem ist THE SOCIAL NETWORK der first successful start-up film of the next generation [after some very crude and downright hair-raising attempts - just think of the Bill Gates STARTUP.COM parody starring Tim Robbins]. Especially at the beginning of the film draws the successful image of a generation that longs for networking and will take place as a kind of progressive life in a network. Whether the one shown now to the facts or not, one can understand neither, nor is it for the audience of greater relevance, because the lifestyle of the generation "Web 2.0" is reprinted here very nice and the success story "Facebook" can also as a kind of metaphor for the power of the Internet to be understood.

The portrait of a generation

especially Justin Timberlake [ALPHA DOG] is convincing in the role of the greasy Napster founder Sean Parker, who wants revenge on the "big", while Jesse Eisenberg [ZOMBIE LAND] a successful presentation of Facebook inventor Mark Zuckerberg is. The real star of the film is the brilliant soundtrack by Trent Reznor [of the band NINE INCH NAILS]. His music is the perfect combination of synthetic music and classic tunes. David Fincher's biography can convince because he, despite his ambivalent characters always retain an objective view of the action and therefore this issue is completely fair.
