Director: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie
My Rating: Loved It!
Whether you enjoy the depravity of The Wolf of Wall Street or not, it's incredibly hard to deny that it's a modern masterpiece from the one and only Martin Scorsese. Honestly, for a three hour movie, it's not about much. I feel like it doesn't go that deep into the story, but it still works only focusing on the money and drugs. And also for such a long movie, the whole thing is like an adrenaline shot, there's never a dull moment, which is obviously fitting for a drug induced film. I like many of Scorsese's films more than The Wolf of Wall Street, but this is Leonardo Dicaprio's magnum opus. He is phenomenal as Jordan Belfort.
Martin Scorsese, as everyone knows, is one of the finest masters of the craft, and The Wolf of Wall Street is gushing brilliance out of every frame. It's easy to tell that the film is meticulously put together. The craziest thing about the film is that it's a true story, which is absolutely absurd to think that there are people in the world that live like that. I saw the movie on opening weekend and I'd say there were probably about 15-20 people who got up and left the movie, which is the most I've ever seen leave a film in my experience. The Wolf of Wall Street is a superbly crafted delve into upper class depravity.
