the wolf of wall street
Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.
Martin Scorsese & Leonardo DiCaprio's fifth collaboration, The Wolf of Wall Street is finally here. And I'm happy to say that Scorsese's epic crime saga of debauchery is the best film of the year. The Wolf of Wall Street is a crazy hybrid of GoodFellas and Casino, packed with drugs and gratuitous sex. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, an ambitious young man with big dreams of becoming a wealthy stockbroker. Making billions of dollars by selling stocks to working middle-class people, Belfort lived the high-life with his wingman Donnie Azoff, played by Jonah Hill. Leonardo DiCaprio's performance will blow your mind. Of all the despicable anti-heroes in Martin Scorsese's films, Jordan Belfort might just be the worst. It's not until I saw The Wolf of Wall Street that I believed Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro are equally great paring with Martin Scorsese. Jonah Hill knocks it out of the park and completely deserves a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Academy Awards. Margot Robbie as Belfort's wife, Naomi Lapaglia who I was expecting to be the weak link, is excellent. Also featuring many other great performances from Matthew McConaughey, Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler and Rob Reiner. Sopranos writer, Terence Winter gives the best screenplay of the year. I don't know if the story was exaggerated, but It's amazing to think that something so crazy like this actually happened. What's also shocking is how this movie got away with a R rating and somehow avoided NC-17. The Wolf of Wall Street is 179 minutes, Scorsese's longest film to date. I admit the movie could have been shorter, but it's endlessly fascinating and extremely entertaining. Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is a cinematic landmark.
