Martin Scorsese
and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite after three years. Both last time working
together through the film Shutter Island in the year 2010 and achieved great
success. Having collaborated with Christopher Nolan, Clint Eastwood, Quentin
Tarantino, Baz Luhrman then, DiCaprio finally returned to play under the
direction of partner-in-crime of his. Lifted from a book biography of Jordan
Belfort, The Wolf of Wall Street is a depiction of the life of hedonism of the
insanely successful stockbroker.When starting a job as a stockbroker in the company LF Rothschild Jordan Belfort did not know how crazy the world is. He is still a snot-nosed kid who is guided by his mentor Mark Hanna. Unfortunately for Belfort, shortly after he entered the company, the company went bankrupt because of the economic disaster of Black Monday in 1987 Belfort's almost given up following the stock, but his wife convinced him to try again, this time on a small scale in Long Island. With experience Belfort who used to talk to the big guys, selling shares to the 'ordinary' is an easy thing for Belfort. With a much larger commission Belfort can become rich quickly.
Basically
Belfort is ambitious and want to continue to advance his career. This
opportunity he got when meeting with Donnie Azoff. Donnie was a salesman who
really want to succeed as Belfort so willing to be subordinate. Both started
the new stock brokerage firm - become their own boss. The company is Stratton
Oakmont. In practice, Stratton Oakmont actually fool a lot of people with their
share sale schemes are devious. Money generated for Belfort (and its partners)
is enormous but also make targeted by the FBI. On the other hand money is a
source of happiness but also the root of evil and lifestyle Belfort was getting
crazy ...Please visit here
This film offers
a life style that embraces the ideology of hedonism. Have fun with the manner
and as crazy as crazy as possible. That's the problem for Belfort and his
friends. Because they are constantly taking money then they are confused about
the money . Hence they buy whatever they want: homes, yachts, helicopters,
unusually expensive jewelry. Anything. Not content to just enjoy the luxury
world, Jordan and his colleagues call the women, having sex with a girl here
and there until then uses drugs to help them feel more powerful sensation.
All this is
presented with a humorous manner by director Martin Scorcese but at the same
time in an ironic way. Through contemplation in this film as if the director
wanted to ask us: Jordan says that she chose to be rich than poor, but whether
such a rich life he lived now is happiness? If the poor people who desperately
raising money to seek treatment when sick, ironic look at Jordan's rich
spending spree just to ruin her own money.
Unfortunately
Scorcese seems too busy to highlight the life of luxury from Belfast so that he
forgot to balance the business side of Wall Street. I was a little disappointed
there are a few times in the film business this explanation as an explanation
when the IPO will be cut off for a moment and then instantly just by Scorcese
described as being illegal. I actually want that portion luxuries in this film
slightly reduced then the portion of the business, which in the early half of
the film is quite dominant, plus the last part of the film.
Although the
film had two nominations in the acting categories of Jonah Hill for Best
Supporting Actor and Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio for I feel that this film
really belongs to a Leo. His performance started from the beginning that geeky,
to be drunk with drugs, to turn into an orator reliable performance ... all
this was done by Leo to the fullest. Range of emotions and performance that
made Leo really great so I am not surprised that the veteran actor is once
again entered in a row nominated for Best Actor, something he did last time in
2007 through the film Blood Diamond. For the second time in his career Leo won
the Golden Globe in collaboration with Martin Scorsese (the first through The
Aviator), whether this be the year's moment to shine also get an Oscar?
Outside
appearance of Leo there are two people who also stole my attention in this
movie. One is Jonah Hill, who is also a nice and solid to figure Leo companion
throughout the film. The other is Jordan mentor early in his career: Mark
Hanna, played by Matthew McConaughey. It is a pity indeed McConaughey
appearance here is very solid though relatively brief. Funny, the toughest
rival Leo at the Oscars later McConaughey also many critics praised through
performance in Dallas Buyers Club.
So my conclusion
is ... The Wolf of Wall Street is a celebration of the power of money. Money,
money, and more money. All the happiness that money can buy happiness ...
happiness is ephemeral or real? Overall it was great just to be assessed by any
beings who watch this movie. Which clearly do not miss one of the best films of
the year. This is one of Leo's finest moments this year, nay, in his career.
