Martin Scorsese directed a true story based film of Jordan Belfort (acted by Leonardo DiCaprio) who was born to an original middle class family in Queens, New York. Only few years after Jordan had had his 20th birthday, he got a stockbroker job in Wall Street. That lead him to the world of big and also illegal moneys, luxury life and drugs.
The Wolf of Wall Street were released at the end of 2013 in USA and in Finland at the start of 2014. Right from the start it has been a great success and for instance the heartbeat of movie life IMDb has given to this crime/comedy genre film a perfect rating (8,7/10). The Wolf of Wall Street includes a high-class cast with DiCaprio. For example Jonah Hill as a Jordan’s business partner Donnie Azoff and Margot Robbie as a Naomi Lapaglia (Jordan’s wife).
Every stockbroker knows the term Black Monday in Wall Street. A huge one-day percentage decline in recorded stock market history. Jordan Belfort was having his first day as a real stockbroker and immediately he losed his job because of this stock market crash. He didn’t give up and found himself selling shares that were not in stock. After selling them a while he gather up a team and created own company Stratton Oakmont which gave to him and to his team a highway to the stars.
Drugs came to their lives. Also partys all the time and a prostitute for every night guaranteed a life that these men’s had wanted. Sad but true, most of the stories are not only for flying top of the clouds. Also in this case it had lots of turbulence. Jordan were suspected from many crimes for example stock market manipulation. Many things lead to another so it didn’t end how it started…
3 hours watching Wolf of Wall Street in cinema wasn’t too much at all, every minute was a pleasure to view. Okay, maybe there were few scenes during the movie when I supposed that it’s gonna end now. Leonardo DiCaprio made an excellent work as a Jordan Belfort, because he has the skill to make it feel so real. Also the story made you feel like you could be the main character (from normal family to world of richness by your own). I enjoyed the most from the parts where the whole Stratton Oakmont were selling shares with great team spirit and attitude.
Like allways, movie is made to make a profit and famous to it’s company, actors, directors and etc… This movie anyways told a good story about good sides, but also dark sides of life. Everyone who loves business life and good entertainment are the ones who should see The Wolf of Wall Street.
This movie was worth waiting for. Straight away i heard there will be DiCaprio and Jonah Hill in same comedy i started to search premiere date. Jonah was perfect as always and DiCaprio actually made me laugh even though he most of the time acts in dramas ( Oscar already for him ). I would give it bit less than IMBd’s raters, 8.4/10. It didn’t really blow you away like Gravity and Hunger Games: Catching Fire did.
