best movie i've ever seen.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I didn't think how awkward it was watching this one with the family. But The Wolf Of Wall Street was amazing!!! At certain parts I was a little uncomfortable with some scenes and this was because of family over. But the movie had me at all emotions I felt sorry for Jordan and laughed so hard at other parts of the film. I can see why this movie did well.
It's no doubt that when it comes to directing the movie for day-to-day international audience the names that come to my mind are Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and David Fincher. Myself however going through some data and polls one more name struck my mind. It was Martin Scorsese, his direction was the foremost reason, I decided to watch the movie 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.Its an average movie. There were two instances which where ethically nice. 1) Stealing from rich and 2) Owner writing cheque for a women in need. The sad part is apart from that nothing is considered about health, relationships, integrity, manners, respect, nothing but money and the animalistic drive to get more. In the run there was a lot of drinking, partying, and doing drugs. A lot of adult nature involved, so much that it was rated NC-17 (not R).Final Verdict: Graphic nature of a particular (adult) basic instinct drives men more than women. Thus my ratings.
Maryem is so cool. she is funny and sexy , and looks great in pink. I like her alot :)
This project started when Dicaprio outbid Brad Pitt to buy rights for the movie. One of the main reasons he bought it was because Dicaprio felt he was perfect match for the role.Then he hired Terrence winter to write a script and Scorsese to direct.So this is basically a project Dicaprio wanted to make. The problem here is this movie is juggling lot of things. 1)Dicaprio doesnt want to loose his boxoffice appeal, so if the movie is made like a dark character study then it wouldnt make its budget back. 2)Its desire to portray debauchery on screen authentically using huge sums of money meant that there is lot of weight on it to make money back. 3)Oscars like winking devil like Daniel plainview from there will be blood...but they dont like pure evil like Ralph fiennes in schindlers list or Michael fassbender in 12 yrs slave..so they portrayed jordan belfort as this ambitious guy changed by the system felt kinda pandering. 4)Focus of story is on all the wrong areas...yes you can show boobs, sex, debauchery but at the same time you need a contrast element in the storyline to show the excess. 5) This might be the main thing..one group of fanbase you can always trust to show up time and again is young men between 12 and 30.....if you can tap into this demographic..they will show up time and again like MCU or DCEU. Dicaprio tapped into this fanbase somewhere around inception and django. So if he can make movies that this group enjoys then they will keep showing up and that age range is ready to idolize someone.The are just waiting for a idol figure. Key thing to appeal to them is play roles that are Macho,Rule breaker,Anti heroic,Dark,Brooding,,Leader of people,Filled with revenge aka brooding and roles like that. As long as you stick to those, this demographic will show up and Dicaprio is banking on it every single movie.He morphed this sleazy banker into those archetypes. So all these checkboxes are met in making this movie and we ended up with a dark comedic 21 jump street movie with a prestige picture kind of touch by a auteur director in scorsese. So we end up with a movie that spends way more time on excess to the point of making it look cool.
