Probably because if you’re on the winning end of capitalism it IS awesome. They wouldn’t have made a movie about Gordon Gecko if it wasn’t. The general public has romanticized villains since at least Robin Hood, on down through Billy the Kid and Machine Gun Kelly right up to Frank Abagnale and I bet Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried will have awesome biopics that show their rise as something we all wish we had. It’s what makes the story interesting. In real life the Oceans 11 people would all be pieces of shit too, but it’s a good movie
