vulgar movie and I really liked it. The Wolf of Wall Street is the story of

Jordan Belfort

a stockbroker in the nineties who rose to crazy the amounts of wealth

and even crazier antics. Directed by Martin Scorsese

this movie just embraces the insanity of a true story

with outrageous, oddball humor and some pretty powerful dramatic turns,

Jordan Belfort rises to become one of the most powerful

and influential men on Wall Street but he doesn't come by it honestly.

Deception and fraud or just his normal business tactics.

The movie shows how this wicked financial genius rises to power from a

young broker trying to get noticed

to a man who runs and owns his own firm, has a mansion,

a yacht, a beautiful wife and an appetite for women and drugs that would make Scarface

blush.

However his illegal business practices and his wild lifestyle

have drawn the attention of the federal government. Will the Wolf fall

just as quickly as he rose? When this movie came out there was a ton of heat

on it. People either loved it or they hated it. When it came to the stream I

decided

I have to see this and I'm so glad that I did. I really enjoyed the humor that

really is the core of this movie

but also the serious feel it would swerve in and out of.

Belfort's life is one of greed and debauchery,

and more greeted and even more debauchery, so shooting it as a drama

wouldn't have worked. By using comedy we get to see the depravity of

these people's lives and we actually become interested in them, we even care

about some of them

because we're laughing at and with them. The dialogue and interplay between the

cast is wonderful, it's

rapid-fire, yet it feels natural. I found out that they made up most to the

dialogue, they

improvised it on the set and I think that adds to the humor.

Now as crazy as this movie does get it never falls into satire or too much

slapstick.

It is serious at times. We see Belfort dealing with the consequences of his

lifestyle and his actions. We see that the people involved

they've got crazy lives but there's also depth to their characters

and we see that they care and love one another even in the cutthroat world

that they've helped create. I should stop being surprised by Leonardo DiCaprio

but she got me again. He takes Belfort and

this is a character we should despise but he takes the tragedy of this guy's

life

and makes us care about his. He also brings a hilarious mania to the role

that's gonna have you laughing so hard you're gonna need to rewind the film to

see what you've missed.

DiCaprio was the major force that got this film made

and it is hard work that absolutely paid off. We also get the career launching

performance

Margot Robbie who plays Belfort's wife Naomi. This proves that she is far more

than just a bombshell

this is an intense actress. And the rest of the cast just works so well together

I wish I had the time to do a point by point talk about everybody

but let me just say this: you're going to see a Howling Commando,

Shane from The Walking Dead, that guy from Superbad

and the king of "what the hell did that guy just say?!" Matthew McConaughey

all being great. I do want to warn you about how explicit this movie can get

with the sex and the drug use.

People are going to have their faces buried in mountains of cocaine,

having sex pretty much anywhere and anytime.

The director chose to add this into the film because he wanted to show how

insane these guys lies really were.

They're also able to pull this off because they financed this film

independently. Now even for a guy like me there seems they're like "Oh Yeah!"

other scenes like "Oh No!"

but this movie remained excellent at all times.

The Wold of Wall Street shows me why I should have studied

financing in college. It is a truly entertaining film

that pulls off complete and total anarchy and excellent film making

at the same time. A top talent director

and A-list actor got together and made a wonderful comedy

about a shockingly true story
