    I LOVE how affectionally Robin Williams looks when he clearly sees how hard Marlee Matlin is trying to not only talk but also how she literally puts so much into saying, "Good Morning Vietnam". A classic line from the movie. Shows what a wonderful human being he was and good for Marlee Matlin for literally training with a voice coach to do this. :-)

      Kirk had apparently told Michael "I want you to play a real son of a bitch". When Michael got the part in "Wall Street" he rang his dad and said: "You're gonna love me in this, Dad. I'm mean. Really mean."

    A brilliant actor. For me the best since a bit more than 30 years. I feel in love with him and his work as I saw him in "The Streets of San Francisco". I tried to catch eveything I could get of him. As Gordon Gekko...awesome!!! It was a hard way for him to step out of the shadow of his dad like he said. And it´s great that he thanked his father in that way. He made his own way! Living legend! 🤩🥰👏

    It's so great to see an actor who actually deserves the win. He had some stiff competition too . Looks like a great oscar year as cher won for moonstruck. One of my favorites. Kirk douglas was a giant in hollywood. It cant be easy steeping out of his shadow but to younger generations that werent alive when douglas was a heavy weight Micheal surely surpassed his dad or at least is great in his own right. Does not happen often. Look at sports how many sons of hof guys become better than their dad?

Acting clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of evolutionary entertainment. Acting, in all of it's forms, acting for comedy, for drama, for romance, sci-fi has marked the upward surge of cinema, and acting, you mark my words will not only save movies but that other malfunctioning company called Hollywood. Thank you very much."

    Gordon Gekko was the part of Douglas' career; even in the somewhat inferior sequel, Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps, Douglas was still outstanding. It's ironic that Michael's Father, Kirk Douglas, never won a competitive Oscar during his career, despite worthy performances in Lust For Life, The Bad And The Beautiful, Spartacus, and Paths Of Glory. Michael ultimately co-produced the successful film adaptation of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, which Kirk had starred in on Broadway; Kirk couldn't obtain financing to make the film, and gave the rights to Michael, who hired Milos Foreman and Jack Nicholson, after it was determined that Kirk was too old for the lead role by the mid 70s.

      those lines are unfortunately everything wrong with American and wider western society. the idea that you cant be happy or have a valuable existence unless you’re chasing a dream of being super rich and idolising material items. Of course someone on £400k a year can be happy and want for nothing. So can the person on £40k. If they have love then that is ok. Money does not make you happy.
