Movie Villains: Gordon Gekko Gordon Gekko's greed is what sets him apart from the other wheelers and dealers, but it's also what sets him apart from those who follow the rules and those who break them. Gekko leverages inside information to strike when the time is right, dumping stock and leaving shareholders in ruin. In the end, jail time is the only destiny for the likes of Gekko and Fox, but unlike Bud, you've got to believe that Gordon Gekko, a man who deals in information, will land on his feet with his eyes still firmly fixed on the prize. www.movievillains.com /archives/2004/03/gordon_gekko.html   (591 words)

Gordon Gekko at AllExperts Gordon Gekko is a fictional character from the popular movie Wall Street. Gekko's famous "Greed is good" speech was, to many, an excellent representation of the state of investment banking in the late 1980s. Gekko is based loosely on corporate raider Ivan Boesky, who gave a similar speech on greed at the University of California in 1986. en.allexperts.com /e/g/go/gordon_gekko.htm   (621 words)

Citizen Journal: Gordon Gekko, Tragic Hero Gordon Gekko, the character commonly seen as the antagonist in the film “Wall Street”, represents to me the apotheosis of the new American tragic hero. Consider Gekko objectively: he is a self-made man who scorns bastions of hereditary privilege, he is a doting father, he is interested in mentoring the next generation of entrants into his industry, and he prides himself on being a man with whom it is profitable to do business. But he was also an individual supremely well adapted to the capitalist system; his illegal activity was in effect a demonstration of his willingness to act as a rational capitalist in a society that has yet to come to terms with the full implications of capitalism. www.citizen-journal.net /mt-weblog/archives/2005/09/gordon_gekko_tr.html   (529 words)

Forums - "Gordon Gekko, the antisocial" Gekko's hatred for his competitor is palpable and decidedly more apparent than any excitement he has about the money he stands to gain from the business deal.

Wall Street Movie -The 80s Rewind « The pair of braces Gekko wears most often in the film are dark blue with a sky blue stripe, actually, the Old-Etonian colours (which Gekko would not be entitled to wear, as it's very unlikely he ever went to Eton).

In today's dumbed down movie world, Gordon Gekko could have been scripted and played exactly the same except for one thing: you'd never see the scene when he suddenly stops to admire the ocean at dawn.

Gordon Gekko steps ashore Risk & Insurance - Find Articles The comparative uselessness of those screens was offset by the fascination to be derived from staring at the little green digits as they marched across the screens. At one point in the movie, star Michael Douglas' character, Gordon Gekko (not the irritating cockney lizard in the TV ads for Geico), makes a call on a cell phone that is only marginally smaller than today's Internet servers. If he were to adopt the ethics of one of those characters in the manner in which he seems to have channeled Gordon Gekko, the whole world had better watch out. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0BJK/is_10_17/ai_n16729176   (656 words)

Last check: 2007-10-29) Gekko, we are told, sold NASA short 15 minutes after the Challenger exploded (impossible since the shuttle was destroyed in 1986 and the film is set in 1985!). Gekko predictably seduces Bud with his world of "perks", and Bud's star rises dramatically the farther he falls into corruption. Gordon Gekko has become something of a hero for young, wanna-be big shots, who are attracted to the glamour of his lifestyle and his "up your's, I got mine!" attitude much as Bud was. www.amazon.ca /Wall-Street-Widescreen-Oliver-Stone/dp/B00003CXDB   (1960 words)

Like the peak of 1987, which was soon followed by the movie Wall Street and Gordon Gekko’s “greed is good” credo, the current stock-market peak now has a cynical, feature-length motion picture to encapsulate its excesses.
