It may also be worth noting that ...Great work, Bob. It may also be worth noting that the individuals in the cards image are floating in the sea, un-tethered. It would seem an ordinary image in one sense, but we know that the sea in scripture is symbolic of the seething, stormy, ever-shifting mass of dis-believers who have not put their foundation on the Rock of Christ.<br /><br />Perhaps most significantly, the "Citi Never Sleeps" line references the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/" rel="nofollow">1987 film 'Wall Street'</a> in which the character 'Gordon Gekko'*, played by Michael Douglas, calls his young protege (played by Charlie Sheen) by cell phone from the beach, <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wall_Street_%28film%29" rel="nofollow">saying</a>:<br /><br /><i>"Money never sleeps, pal. I just made $800,000 in Hong Kong gold. It's been wired to you – play with it. You done good, but you gotta keep doing good. I showed you how the game works, now school's out."</i><br /><br />The scene is a subtle but clear and clever upside-down mocking, point by point, of the re-instatement of Peter by Christ on the beach in <a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/esv/john/21.html" rel="nofollow">John 21</a>.<br /><br />That quote was so central to the plot, and so popular, that it became the sub-title of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1027718/" rel="nofollow">the re-make/sequel which was released Sept. 24, 2010: "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"</a>.<br /><br />*(The character's last name, 'Gekko' is just one letter off from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko" rel="nofollow">the small lizards (geckos)</a> which creep unseen into homes through the smallest of crevices in tropical regions and which have become popularized and 'tamed' by the Geico insurance commercials. Lizards, in scripture are unclean animals.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
