Boiler Room este povestea lui Seth Davis, un student inteligent si ambitios, dar noncoformist care dupa ce este dat afara din colegiu din motive disciplinare, organizeaza un cazino chiar in propriul sau apartament. Datorita talentului sau innascut de a-i imbrobodi pe clienti pentru a-i usura de bani, Seth va capta imediat atentia unei firme de brokeraj. Aici el va fi "instruit" chiar la departamentul Zero, locul unde se contacteaza telefonic cei interesati de tranzactii bursiere prin metode foarte persuasive. In scurt timp, Seth devine un om de baza al firmei, si castiga admiratia superiorilor dar si a languroasei sale colege, Abby. Ajuns chiar in varf, bogat si dorit de femei, Seth este pe cale sa-si piarda sufletul.
Israel “IZ” Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (Hawaiian pronunciation: [kaˌmakaˌʋiwoˈʔole]; May 20, 1959 – June 26, 1997) was a Hawaiian musician.
He became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993. His medley of “Over the Rainbow” and “What a Wonderful World” was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and commercials.
Throughout his life, Kamakawiwoʻole was obese and at one point carried 757 pounds (343 kg; 54.1 st) on his 6-foot-2-inch (1.88 m) frame (BMI = 97.05 kg/m²). He endured several hospitalizations because of problems caused by his weight. At age 38, he died of weight-related respiratory illness at The Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu on June 26, 1997, at 12:18 a.m. Kamakawiwoʻole is survived by his wife, Marlene Kamakawiwoʻole, and their daughter, Ceslie-Ann “Wehi”.
Thousands of fans gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997. [wiki]
