observer Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just watched it again, but I believe the moral text of the film was lost on the US public (probably the UK public too), with polls showing that most identified with Gordon Geeko when he said "greed is good".

Jerry Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Michael Douglas may agree with you -- he keeps trying to deny that he 'sold' that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Come to think of it, in this country we have an advertising spokes-reptile representing GEICO Insurance, mostly for automobiles. Their TV ads are ubiquitous -- with a five inch tall green reptile with enormous eyes and an Australian accent flogging their insurance packages. Hm. A talking reptile, selling.... where did that come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Dang !!! I forgot to explain GEICO -- I think it stands for Government Employees Insurance Company. When I was in the armed forces decades ago it was exclusive for government employees. Now it is open to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
