The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Dir. John Huston (1948, IMDb #147)
A dirty immigrant begs for handouts on the streets of Mexico.
That immigrant's name? Humphrey Bogart.
Bogart (Fred C. Dobbs) and Tim Holt (Curtin) star as two down-on-their-luck Americans searching for work in 1920s Mexico, who convince an old prospector to help them mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Change the year from ‘1920s’ to ‘2020s’, and change ‘gold’ to ‘Bitcoin’, and you’ve got yourself a beige remake, baby!
Remember: the American Dream never died; it just migrated to beiger countries.
