brilliant actors, brilliant editing
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Personally a fan of any work Scorsese does, and added with Leonardo DiCaprio who is a brilliant actor I love this film. Matthew McConaughey was hilarious with his character & would recommend this film to anyone. Also good to check out the real story behind it and why DiCaprio & Scorsese made this film a hit.
Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is a highly accomplished biographical dark comedy that encourages the viewer to revel in and be repulsed by the provocative life of it's protagonist: stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio). The cinematography and editing is slick and fast paced and the film is at it's most intoxicatingly best when pulsing with energy; complimented by a perfect soundtrack. Similarly, DiCaprio, Robbie and Hill succeed in delivering phenomenal performances. DiCaprio's running monologue is witty and the humour occasionally hilarious. However, when the energy fades away and the film slightly loses it's established rhythm does the quality slightly decline.
There are no wolves in the movie :-( . . . . . . . . . . .
Debauchery and excess are not only key themes of this three-hour bio-pic but also inherent qualities of it, as it continuously skirts the line between sincerity and satire in order to honestly evaluate its unlikable yet engaging protagonist and the compelling situation within which he finds himself. Though 'The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)' never does much to punish the people who perpetrate greedy acts of criminal grandeur, it also never flinches from the unglamorous sides such an immoral life undoubtedly produces and, as such, allows the audience to decide whether or not they condone what they see (though it's pretty obvious they shouldn't). This leads to an eclectic and compelling mix of both breezy comedy and downbeat drama that, if nothing else, should at least keep you entertained. 8/10
