Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) by Jawslaxerdrama — 31 Dec 2013
The Wolf of Wall Steet is an outrageous, twisted, entertaining and devious film. Many say there is a glorification of sex, drugs and greed that is wrapped so tightly in the film that every five minutes there is a sex scene at a X rated level.
I didn't mind, because that is how our super star, Leo Dicaprio plays with a delicious appetite. Every other word may be and at times, I wanted to leave because after 300 uses of ****ing---it loses emphasis.
(506 f u c k uses) There is an important message here. The moral errosion, the twisted deceit and the overwhelming lack of a solid plot, this is what is out there in the world. Especially in the US. Now, as for my rating of six, I did not love the movie.
I thought it had its pros and cons. For starters, cut the sex scenes down, trim down the use of f u c k (which I am not offended by, but it definitely loses emphasis) and show if Belfort was in any way full of remorse.
The second half of the picture is better, gaining personal ground and...well,the whole point was to share this ridiculous story, to batter our minds with a genuine question of "why?". My feelings are somewhat mixed.
Some scenes are too long when you get th point, entertaining here and there, and it never fails to show you. I am not a prude. I just think it went over the top, which is what is should have done, but there is something about WOWS that I couldn't connect to.
If you're debating whether or not to see it, please do. There is a lot of mixed reaction on here, and especially in the theatre. Cheers.
