Talk of The Town Piece

I found an article on The New Yorker's website pertaining to the recent release of the movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The article mainly discusses how when the first movie came out during the 80's many saw the leading character of Gordon Gekko as a hero and someone who you look up to. But now with the recession and the economy suffering, the article talks about how many see businessmen from Hollywood and other parts of corporate society as being part of the "axis of evil." It's an interesting article because it shows just how in the last two decades society's perception of people has changed. In the 1980's it was much more of a capitalistic society where it seemed like everyone was making money, but now Americans see businessmen and women in a different light. Especially people who work on wall street and for big business banks. It's an interesting article because it shows how the times have changed in only just twenty years.
