7 films that show you what real estate developers are like.
(I’ll tell you the lesson of each one)
“The Gilded Lily” (1935): This film follows a young woman who poses as a wealthy heiress to impress a real estate developer.
“The Fountainhead” (1949): This film focuses on an architect struggling to maintain his integrity in a corrupt and commercial real estate industry.
“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” (1967): This film follows a young man trying to make it in the business and real estate development industry in New York.
“The Money Pit” (1986): This comedy (here translated as “This House Is a Wreck”) follows a couple who buy an old house in need of repairs, leading to a series of disasters that put their relationship at risk.
“Wall Street” (1987): This film follows an ambitious stockbroker who struggles to succeed in the financial and real estate development industry.
“Glengarry Glen Ross” (1992): This film focuses on a group of real estate sales agents vying for success in a highly competitive and unscrupulous environment.
“The Founder” (2016): This film focuses on the story of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, who turned a small hamburger chain into a multi-billion dollar company through franchising and real estate development.
It is true that the older they are, the more they play with stereotypes, but they all reflect this world from different points of view.
