Oliver Stone's Wall Street was not an instruction manual.
- rchaud 8y agoNeither was Liar's Poker, yet Michael Lewis has repeatedly commented that people saw it as something to aspire to. The same occurred with the glorified story of Jordan Belfort. Or Patrick Bateman (that one was of course fictional). What is it about our society that makes people oblivious to satire/cautionary tales as long as it's given a shiny cosmetic sheen?
