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.

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.

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!

That was literally thee best scene of the entire film!!

It's not about the IPOs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Sure does. Regardless, I was entertained for 3 straight hours. loved it.

I think this shows a lot about the character and the person of Martin Scorsese.

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.

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.
"It's too late Always has been, always will be
Too late."

It had a unique narritive with its fluid use of the 4th wall.
Its brief 'advertisements' (The stock firm itself at the begining, the yacht, Jordans arrest) durring the story, were fresh.
It had excess in debauchary to a degree Hollywood has never seen before. It pushed boundaries, and broke records.
It maintains a 3 hour run time with entertaining scene after another.
This is not the best movie ever, but it is far from horrid. Its not trying to move you (12 Years a Slave), Its not trying to tell an epic tale (Lord of the Rings), Its not a groundbreaking feat of cinematography (Gravity). Its just trying to tell a gangster story. Its not in the top 10 movies, its not even in the top 100 movies. Why are you complaining as if it booted Shawshank off the top spot. If you don't like it, good for you, don't let your kid watch it then, but as far as the general public goes, its a well praised piece of modern cinema.
Good day
"Well thats just like. your opinion man."

The character is not interesting enough to make a biopic. Everyone is aware of the excesses of the 80's and 90's with Stocks. Movies from Wall Street to Boiler Room have covered this topic. So he is just another guy who practiced excess in his life and that really makes him no different then a movie about a rock star, movie staretc.
You look at Goodfellas - an inside look into the mob, Departed - an interesting odd story, Aviator - fascinating world renown character Wolf had none of that.
Not compelling at all.

Well, I wouldn't call it "horrid", but in the past two and half years since it's release I've come to like it less and less whenever I think about Scorsese's filmography. The movie simply paints Jordon as a "bad" and indulgent person, but seems to have little under the surface. While most of Scorsese's characters do bad things, they at least have some redeemable or sympathetic qualities or are easy to empathize with. Some may believed they are justified in their actions, use a life of crime to help others, or are portrayed as morally confused. Simply put, I just feel this lacks the depth that Scorsese's films are so famous for having.

Nah, I wasn't horny until AFTER watching it!
Go find a safe space wussy!

I would like to disagree with you.Just saw it for the fifth time,still loved it.

Wait What?? Wall St is Cardboard Cutout material. Scorsese builds characters far better than Oliver Stone and his usual agenda.

totally agree. I'm watching it now and can't believe people actually liked this crap. I'm convinced that all the people critics and awards people talking up this piece of beep of a movie are just a bunch of sycophants.
this is like Wall Street for morons.

Some might say a 25 year-old doesn't look TOO different to a 35 year-old (even though they wouldn't be quite correct)
Can you explain this a little more? Does this mean a 35 year old sees a 25 year old the same? or that people think 25 and 35 in general look the same? Just interested.
Well, it's like this: for
some
, fairly few genetically blessed people (but who also take reasonable care of their faces - mainly staying out of the sun and harsh weather/always wearing sunscreen, moisturising, even with the cheapest creams available, a good, healthy diet, not smoking and getting enough quality sleep every night), the differences in looks between 25 and 35 are relatively small, in fact small enough for the average observer to even say "oh, he/she looks the same now at 35 as they did 10 years ago" - insert weak vampire / goat foetus joke here - "hahaha". For someone more versed (say, a plastic surgeon) or with more attuned observational skills, the differences, small though they may be, will be noticeable, and the differences between 25 and 39, obviously even more so.
With people who work outdoors in all weathers, or very regularly enjoy outdoors pursuits, particularly certain professional athletes, such as windsurfers/mountain bikers, and many others, or those who have a damaging lifestyle (smoking, bad sleep habits, bad diet - for instance, sugar has been shown to be very damaging to skin), the difference in looks from 22 to 40-ish will be (scarily) obvious!
