Trading Places
Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it's a person's environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him.

This movie has its truly hilarious moments with Eddie Murphy as a beggar
at the beginning pretending to be crippled for example.
There's a lot of unfairness shown however in the treatment of successful
stockbroker Dan Ackroyd's character and its sad and difficult at times to see
what happens to him through much of the movie.
This movie speaks to the issue of the "nature versus nurture" debate. The
"Duke brothers" seem to believe that what a man is in regards to his birth
endowment of intelligence, sense of connection, possible tempermental
inheritance and other congenital (perhaps) qualities are not what is important
in determining his lot in life ultimately. Instead it is the schools he goes to
and the amount of money his family has etc, which will determine how well turns
out, comparing him perhaps to even any other one that is born on the earth too.
So they embark on an experiment to prove their point - one against the other
making a bet between themselves of fully one dollar as to who will be proven right
in their minds at the end of it all.
Enjoy and please seed kindly with thanks
