Matthew McConaughey plays a stockbroker who takes him under his wing and they have a great scene at a club where he's getting his first three martini lunch. The guy who beat Leo out for Best Actor has a brief but telling role as a mentor of sorts. In his own Hill is almost as fascinating a story as DiCaprio. The kind of nondescript character that you wouldn't look at twice, Hill gets taken to a world that he could only imagine in dreams wet or dry by DiCaprio.

Five Oscar nominations went to The Wolf Of Wall Street, nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and nominations for DiCaprio and Jonah Hill as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. It so reminded me of that famous incident from 1984 where presidential candidate Gary Hart dares reporters to follow him around to catch him doing anything outside his marriage. But in Goodfellas would not have had a scene where the wise guys just out and out dared to challenge the FBI as DiCaprio does with agent Kyle Chandler. Like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas a combination of drugs and hubris makes him think he's invulnerable. The narration of the film is by DiCaprio and it takes you from his rise to where law enforcement has him between a rock and a hard place. Martin Scorsese directed this film and handled the film like he did one of his gangster epics like Goodfellas. True of DiCaprio and true to a lesser extent of all his associates. The world consists of 50% orgies and 50% piling up paper profits and later on hiding them from authorities. Women work on Wall Street in the more traditional brokerage houses, but not with him where being one of the boys is the first requirement. Women just do not compete in DiCaprio's world. I have seen very few films that have depicted the alpha male world so well. That is sure to attract all kinds of law enforcement attention. With a collection of his own ill assorted bunch of friends chief among them is Jonah Hill, these guys and I do mean it is reserved for the male of the species DiCaprio makes obscene amounts of money and spends it obscenely. But DiCaprio takes it far from a penny stock outfit. He organizes his own brokerage house, similar to what is seen in the more modestly financed film The Boiler Room. DiCaprio is not about to give up his dream. He goes, but then is one of thousands cast adrift by the stock market crash of the late Reagan years. At first it's the realization of the American dream, DiCaprio the middle class kid wants to go on Wall Street. Edgar Hoover, each of who lived large in his own way with power, DiCaprio lives large with money. Leonardo DiCaprio as he did with such other real life figures like Howard Hughes and J. It was good while it lasted until some relentless FBI agents took him down partly because of his own hubris. The first part of this film seems unbelievable at times, but then again it is based on the life of Jordan Belfort.Īcademy Awards: Best Picture (Nominated), Best Actor (Nominated- Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actor (Nominated- Jonah Hill), Best Director (Nominated- Martin Scorsese), Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay (Nominated).The Wolf Of Wall Street details the rise and fall in real life of one Jordan Belfort who for a while was living high and wide off of other people's money.

It is unbelievable what these characters have experienced, from over drug usage, to crazy parties, to illegal stock exchange dealings. Which part is better? Due to the craziness, part one gets the edge. This is the hight of Jordan power, once Jordan and Donnie begin smuggling money things begin to go downhill for many members of Stratton Oakmont. How jarring is it when the first part ends? Minimal, Jordan cannot smuggle the money himself and the audience wonders who he will ask to smuggle the money to Switzerland. rat hole would never get into Switzerland with all that money, What I needed was a rat hole with a European passport.”įirst line of dialogue on the second part: Jordan travels to England to convince Naomi’s Aunt Emma to take some of his fortune to Switzerland for him. Jordan narrates “He’s telling me to use a fu**ing rat hole, but a U.S. Sorel tells Jordan to get someone to smuggle his money into Switzerland.įinal line of dialogue on the first part: Jordan leaves the meeting thinking to himself. Where does the first part end? Jordan, Donnie, and Rugrat visit a group of French Swiss bankers led by Jean Jacques Sorel. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Kyle Chandler
