The Wolf of Wall Street?

What do you mean what 'other' depth? There is none.

Was there any guilt or remorse? We didn't see a single victim. There was plenty of potential for depth.

Again, based on the book, which if you read it is based on Belfort's perspective. Its a biographical account. Its illogical to say its should have had a few different perspectives when the thing it was based on only had one perspective. S

I really enjoyed it, it is long but I never felt that it was being dragged out. Leonardo DiCaprio did a really good job of portraying Belfort and actually made me like him, I want to read the book now.
I watched a few interviews and clips from Belfort's seminars and he is very motivating and charismatic.

What? How the hell could you like him after watching the film? Women...

Apart from the part where he hit his wife, I found him to be quite likeable.

I have read it, but it is unnecessary for a film to stay quite so true to a biographical account. It was one sided and bland. I didn't think it offered any insight to the greed and excess of the financial world that we haven't seen before and I would suggest Scorcese shouldn't have bothered making it.

It was definitely long but that's a good thing when you're enjoying it so much!

Course you would. Because you were brainwashed by the charismatic portrayal... Forget about the fact he was a cheat, greedy and betrayed many people in the end, drove while intoxicated and his victims who in real life he still owes money to. yet apparently he is trying to get out of that too.

The majority of people he took money from (in the film anyway) were rich. I don't care if he cheated them.

I wasn't talking about them. What about the gullable poor people near the beginning?

it did seem a little as if Di Caprio just rehashed and evolved his Gatsby persona.

Yeah that was hilarious! Apparently some people with cerebral palsy were offended by that scene.

I liked it... but I did leave feeling awkward and uncomfortable, and not just in an angry-at-society way, irritated at how it creates these people every day, but just... awkward without real explanation. I loved the casting, acting, and really liked the script. It was very well shot and extremely well paced in my opinion - didn't feel overly long at all despite knowing the overall time. I thought it could have done a little more care and thought, which is a daft thing to say considering its creators and artists would have spent every waking hour during production over-thinking it. Yet, that was what I left with. Maybe it's just the feminist in me (although what I felt was lacking wasn't inherently something gender related).

When we got out of the cinema my boyfriend really awkwardly pretended to imitate the punch to the stomach that Leo gave his wife towards the end. He just mimed it, but it absolutely stunned me and gave the whole experience and film a strange sour feeling. He knows I have strong intolerance to dv jokes so... yeah. Was odd. If we had been watching a genuine documentary about dv he wouldn't have felt inclined to imitate the actions - so why did this film seem to make it ok? Obviously it was a 'joke' but he really didn't seem to understand the issue with it, whereas I was truly affected for the rest of the day.





Who? I saw the film with my friend, who has palsy. He didn't give a crap, he laughed just as much as everyone around him.

What? How the hell could you like him after watching the film? Women...

I honestly have no idea..

Its an awesome movie
