It's a brilliant film. I don't know how people can say the film is just full of sex and drugs. There is a lot of that of course but you are ignoring all the sales pitches, the time he is conversing with those investigating him on the boat and the great speeches. If you think this is just a film of sex and drugs then I can't help but feel sorry for you. It's clearly a film portraying a man who was so hungry to become successful and rich, at the expense of almost anyone, that he let it get ahead of him and in the end, just as predicted by his first partner, it caught up with him to bite him on the backside. It showed all the trials and tribulations he faced along the way as well as all of the good things. He goes from a man who wants a good and successful job to a person his first partner barely recognises and then becomes someone that his second partner doesn't even want her children around. On a deeper level it just shows how money can control someone to the point whereby its actually an addiction.
