Azzano's Business Movies Suggestion
These movies are not the ones that will teach you how to make money, for that there are plenty of people or "Fuffa guro" as I like to call them on the internet. These are my favourite movies connected to the beautiful and shady world of finance that are a mixture between fun, finance and drama. As mentioned above these movies will not actually explain to you how to start a business or how to make money, but if you try to look at the deepest message each one of these movies has, actually you can find the missing part of the puzzle that separates you from being a millionaire. I suggest you read the whole article and watch these four movies as soon as possible, and, who knows, maybe I will be lucky enough to meet the next school millionaire.
The founder:
Ever wondered how that giant burger chain with the golden arches got started? "The Founder" takes you behind the scenes, showing how one milkshake-loving salesman turned a burger into a billion-dollar empire.
It's interesting to watch the movie about the founder's crazy ideas and big fights with the brothers who started the business. There are crazy plans, milkshake wars, and enough backstabbing to fill a whole bag of fries.
It's funny, but it also shows the bad side of its journey. Even though he likes burgers, this guy really loves money more.
Overall, "The Founder" is a fun and informative look at how a burger empire was built. It'll make you laugh, and think twice about your next double cheeseburger.
The Wolf of Wall Street:
Since Mr Ramagli accepted my request to write this business movie article, I finally have a chance to mention my favourite movie The Wolf Of Wall Street.
the outrageous life of Jordan Belfort,"The Wolf of Wall Street '' is a wild roller coaster ride through the outrageous life of Jordan Belfort, played with gusto by Leonardo DiCaprio. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film is like diving headfirst into a pool of money, drugs, and excess.
Jordan Belfort is a stockbroker with big dreams and an even bigger appetite for money and mischief. Along with his motley crew of brokers, including the hilariously unhinged Donnie Azoff (played by Jonah Hill), Jordan schemes his way to the top of Wall Street, leaving a trail of chaos and wickedness in his wake.
The movie is filled to the brim with jaw-dropping moments, from wild parties on yachts to extremely lavish spending sprees "forty thousands dollars for sides, what did they do? They cure cancer?!". It's like watching a circus on steroids, with DiCaprio as the ringleader of the madness.
But beneath all the glitz and glamour, "The Wolf of Wall Street" also serves up a biting commentary on greed and the dark side of the American Dream. It's a cautionary tale disguised as a comedy, reminding us that too much of a good thing can lead to disaster.
The performances are top-notch, with DiCaprio delivering one of his most memorable roles yet. Hill is amazing as his sidekick, and the supporting cast is equally impressive.
Overall, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a riotous romp that will leave you laughing, cringing, and maybe even questioning the nature of capitalism. Just make sure to buckle up before you dive in – it's going to be a wild ride!
Extra for Expert:
If this description didn't tickle your fancy, I just wanted to let you know that there is Margot Robbie in this movie.
Wall Street:
Welcome to the world of "Wall Street," where money talks, greed rules, and suspenders are somehow cool again. Directed by Oliver Stone, this movie shows the highs and lows of the stock market, with enough drama to make your head spin faster than a stock ticker.
At the centre of it all is Bud Fox (played by Charlie Sheen), a young and ambitious stockbroker with big dreams. He's like a kid in a candy store, except instead of candy, it's money, and instead of a store, it's Wall Street.
Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas), the example of Wall Street excess. But Bud's dreams take a detour when he meets Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas), the example of Wall Street excess. Gekko is like the Darth Vader of finance, with a passion for power suits and ruthless business tactics.
Under Gekko's mentorship, Bud learns the ropes of the trading floor, but he soon discovers that there's a dark side to all the glitz and glamour. Greed is like a virus, infecting everyone in its path, and Bud finds himself caught in the middle of a high-stakes game of financial manipulation.
The movie is filled with iconic moments, from Gekko's infamous "Greed is good" speech to where Bud must decide between loyalty and integrity. It's like watching a poker game, but instead of chips, they're playing with people's livelihoods.
But "Wall Street" also serves up a timely message about the dangers of capitalism and the importance of staying true to your values, even when the temptation to make quick money is strong.
With stellar performances from Sheen and Douglas, "Wall Street" is a must-watch for anyone interested in the inner workings of the financial world. Just be prepared to have your mind blown – and maybe learn a thing or two about the power of greed.
The Big Short:
Imagine this: the housing market is a giant inflatable pool, filled with more air than water, and everyone's pretending it's a safe place to swim. "The Big Short" shows a wacky group of guys who saw the pool was about to burst, and decided to make a BIG bet on it.
Yes, you heard that right. This movie takes the super confusing world of finance, and turns it into something entertaining.
The cast is magnificent with people like Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.
Sure, there's some yelling and some characters who act like they breathe money for breakfast, but that's Wall Street, right? The important thing is, you get to learn almost everything about the 2008 crisis but still have fun.
But, at least you'll understand why your parents complained so much about the economy! So grab some popcorn, sit on your sofa, and get ready for a ride through the financial crisis that won't put you to sleep (unless boring things are your idea of a lullaby, no judgment here).
