"It's been speculated that Chapman killed John Lennon in order to preserve his innocence -- which is odd considering Lennon was like 40 years old at the time . . . but even if Lennon was about to enter puberty at the age of 41, the book doesn't support that action: Holden, while initially wanting to protect children, realizes that he's no role model, and they're all better off left alone anyway." |
What I find strange and oddly disturbing is that Gordon Gekko has been mythologized and elevated from the role of villain to that of hero . . . After so many encounters with Gekko admirers or wannabes, I wish I could go back and rewrite the greed line to this: "Greed is Good. But I've never seen a Brinks truck pull up to a cemetery." —Stanley Weiser, co-scriptwriter of Wall Street
