giofranchi Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The year I turned 26 I made $49 million, which really pissed me off, ‘cause it was 3 shy of a million a week Cannot wait to watch this movie! ;D ;D ;D giofranchi
Yours Truly Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 looks interesting but is this movie supposed to be a satire?
Kraven Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 looks interesting but is this movie supposed to be a satire? I think it's supposedly based on real life. There was a book by the same name and the claim was that it's autobiographical. No clue how much artistic license was taken though.
dpvalliant Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 It's about Jordan Belfort. I have never heard of him. Google him and you can see.
Straddle Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I red the book a few years ago. Really bad book and no link at all with Wall Street. Lots of stuff over his drugs addiction, his whore visits, how he cheats on his wife, how he deals with auditors and how he tries to transport his money to Switzerland. Maybe DiCaprio can save the movie still.
sswan11 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Ran a boiler room operation which pumped penny stocks...only company which became legitimate seemed to be Steve Madden shoes, according to the book.

Valuemunger Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 There is an old movie named The Boiler Room with Vin Dissel and Ben Affleck. It was about Jordan's Boiler Room
Guest 50centdollars Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Boiler room is a classic too. Loved that movie.
SmallCap Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I just met Jordan Belfort last last week talking about his amazing rise and fall and then post jail time rebirth as an "Ethics" lecturer. Fascinating guy, mesmerizing, I can see why he could do such an amazing job of selling whatever he wanted.

yadayada Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 scorsese is absolutely brilliant at these narrative movies. Just presenting this person's life uncensored in like 2-3 hours and really getting you into their world. No sugarcoating or trying to make characters likeable etc. Added with amazing soundtrack and getting the best performances out of the best actors etc. I think wolf of wall street really nailed that in this movie. ANd i think the people who don't like it get uncomfortable seeing it. But that shouldnt be a reason to rate the movie as bad I think.
Palantir Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I just thought the movie was boring, very dated, and with over the top overacting.
yadayada Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I just thought the movie was boring, very dated, and with over the top overacting. If anything he underacted the guy :D Had to turn it off a few minutes in tho. The guy is just dripping with narcisism

The guy is just dripping with narcisism If he's going to make $100M in one year as a motivational speaker, someone must enjoy listening to him.
