I agree, however, in the context of the movie she did not that to seek external validation. She was a fish out of water, and yet she learned how to survive, without feeling the need to change her own value system.

That was the core message of the movie, and it was good. It could have been executed better though (even though I still liked it)

Any work of art is going to be interpreted differently by different people. Even same person can interpret it differently at different times / in different circumstances.

Wall Street as well, was supposed to paint investment bankers and financiers as villains. Young men thought they were cool heroes and memorized the villain's lines instead!
