Written by Jordan Belfort, Terence Winter
Directed By Martin Scorsese
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie & Matthew
McConaughey
The Wolf of Wall Street is an adaptation of the book from
the same name. Jordan Belfort’s memoir is a “larger than life” tail of a stock
broker who made millions of dollars by faking stock prices and gaming the stock
market. This film is an exciting and wild experience of a man on the edge of
sanity and complete narcissistic hysteria. despite the fact that this man had
no appreciation for human dignity, the film portrays drugs, sex, crime and the
demoralization of woman as being glorifying acts of success. I found it hard to
take anything useful away from this film.
I mostly ended up hating the character and being thankful I don’t use
narcotics.
This film screams Scorsese. Its plays just a like a good
fellas film mixed with casino elements of easy money. Despite hating Jorden
Belfort the man, I loved Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of him. DiCaprio does a
drug induced human being very well. Take a look at basketball diaries for more
on this subject. The filmmaking is superb as you would expect form Scorsese.
The style film is incredibly dynamic and full of one montage
after the next. Scorsese tends to do that type of character development while
making each moment feel like a lifetime of experience. If you liked Goodfellas or
Mean Streets you will almost definitely like this film.
No rating. Classic Scorsese film without the respectfulness
for women or human dignity.
