Scorcese and DiCaprio Again. Looks very promising and weird...

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Another Scorsese brilliance. I think the casting could not have been any more perfect, with the character selection and the dialogue was perfect. An interesting thing I found was the similarities between the fictional characters and the real life characters:

Despite the height contrast and some Holywood visual 'licensing' you could say that they are almost alike.

I find that most of Scorsese's films depict a bio pic. You're there for the lead - his victory, falls, attributions and eventual conclusions. Films such as The Casino, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and the likes all depicted a central character and the context of how this character sees it - it's his winning formula. You could understand why he would have begged for this film and character to be portrayed.

There are a few things which obviously I didn't agree with on this movie despite it being over the top fictionalised the use of drugs, strippers, etc. was just too central. I cannot say that this is all Belfort did, and would have been good to see more emphasis on his rising, than just spending 2 hours of the movie dedicated to the fall and demise of Belfort.But it did make for an interesting story.

I am interested to find out the difference between Wolf and this:

But I suppose this goes for any Wall St. based picture. You make a lot of money and you get the drugs, sex, and addictions. But fail to make note of the 19hr days you will spend arguing, and not every trader is simply a millionaire.

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

So much drugs and v and t's - all my wife could say was "how debauch" - they acted like spoil children (plane scene to Switzerland).

Great acting and an excellent film

So brilliant. Di Caprio really outdid himself. McConaughey in the beginning was hilarious. And Margot Robbie :LoveYou:

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

The new Miranda Kerr?

#1708576Post 20 of 302014-02-04

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Ohhh looks wise yes. Maybe even a new Blanchett she was a looker as well back in her earlier days. Kerr is just Kerr. All depends on which career Robbie takes.

#1708677Post 21 of 302014-02-06

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

She's hot! Not seen this yet but it's on my list

#1708829Post 22 of 302014-02-08

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Utterly brilliant. Scorcese massively on form, great casting. Casino meets Wall Street with a bit of added comedy thrown in.

I thought she turned in a pretty good performance too.

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

one thing is for sure, whenever DiCaprio is yelling profusely, you freaking believe it.

great movie.

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Give Di Caprio an Oscar for fuck sakes!!

imho one of the best actors ever..

#1710573Post 26 of 302014-03-04

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Leo is a great actor but little by little he is starting to play LEO DI CAPRIO more than the actual character of the movie. The only difference in the last role he played as opposed to previous roles is that he was actually hilarious on many scenes.

I really liked his acting on Django unchained and Aviator. He played something very different and he did it well. I'm sure he will get it sometime it's just a matter of time.

^right. he doesn't transform does he. t

Re: The Wolf of Wall Street

Same goes for a lot of Samuel L Jackson and Johnny Depp roles, they're caricatures of themselves.

Haven't followed DeCaprio's roles so I'm seeing him in Wolf in a long time, enjoyed his performance.

Maybe he needs to lose half his weight and act in a sob story to cinch an Oscar, like another Basketball Diaries. :lol:
