    Completely agree with you, EinsteinRosenBridge, I wrote my pretty comprehensive thoughts on the film a few posts above this before I actually read your post, see what you think.

      I'd like to add my name to this person's post. I 100% agree! I felt after seeing this movie that I watched a porn movie. What disturbs me the most about movie was in the last scene where Leonardo DiCaprio (Jordan Belfort) after serving his time and losing all his money and his wife and his kids he goes right back where he was in the beginning trying to find someone who is a good salesman by selling a pen. Then the camera pans out showing the audience all with eager eyes wanting to be picked, implying that what he's doing is what we all want to be doing. I think this shows a lot about the character and the person of Martin Scorsese.

        No, it shows about the character of Belfort, and the people who look up to him, and the society that created him and allows people like him to get away with it. Scorsese is not one of those people.

            I guess after thinking about it you two are right. (cheeso65 and pardi-505-125733) I shouldn't make a judgment on Martin Scorsese character. He just putting a movie together and trying to make it as entertaining as he can.

              Not a horrid movie but definitely not a great one. It dragged way way too long. Should have been 2 hrs or 2 hr 10 tops.

                Agree; I'd enough with the scene at Dicaprio's home after he crawls like a worm, so turned it off. Seemed to be something the Hollywoods of the world could relate to, so I'm not surprised at its success.

                  LOL It's not about relating to him, it exposes what's wrong with the society that creates such a turd and let's him get away with it.

                    I would disagree with you.If you put a stopwatch on it, you'd see the vast majority of time is spent on hedonism, not IPOs. We are aware of his job, as a means to an endas I see it.

                      It's not about the IPOs.

                          here in my country there is a car inspection called the NCT
                          the National Car Test
                          i remember it was an extremely cold day when my parents took the family car for the NCT
                          while they were gone i watched The Wolf Of Wall Street online
                          i was excited to see it because i love fearless cinema with unsympathetic characters
                          i was disappointed with TWOWS
                          it is just sex and drugs with cursing constantly and i mean cursing so much it is irritating

                            I once went to see The Dark Knight at the cinema, but when I got there, I realised I'd left my wallet at home, so I had to turn back.
                            It was a chilly and overcast day as I was making the return journey by bus, and I thought about life, and how strange and beautiful it can be sometimes. I saw some bird poop on the window of the bus. I'm pretty sure it was outside, after all, you don't often get pigeons travelling by bus, do you? LOLZ! But I'm not 100% sure, I didn't want to get too close to it as I didn't want to get bird flu.
                            I was excited to see The Dark Knight, but after seeing it, I was disappointed with how dark it was. A LOT of it took place at night!! And there weren't nearly enough knights! So stupid!

                                The movie panders to the pot smoking porn watching 18-25 crowd its how they were able to make money off this .They don't even try to be subtle about it its just blatant pandering to a bunch of empty headed losers its quite brazen how they blatantly insult their audience like that .
                                You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

                                  Not good for horny men who like plots. This had none. I'll watch Goodfellas, what Wolf tries to be, and read a Playboy, and have everything that way.
