Doesn't anyone think the ending is a bit ironic?

The film was controversial as soon as it was released. Because many people focus on money, sex, addiction and 506 fucks in the movie. However, even though Ma Ye's film has a stark goal, what he wants to express is far from being so superficial. This film combines success studies, thick black studies, family love and friendship. It almost perfectly reproduces the novel of the same name and leaves many thought-provoking details inadvertently.

The slave protagonist Jordan is undoubtedly capable. people. Step by step from a dismissed stockbroker to a multimillionaire, the "wolf of Wall Street" that countless people yearn for. But even if he has a clever head, excellent eloquence, a keen sense of market smell, precise vision and courage to take risks, he will eventually fall into the whirlpool of desire. He uses money to establish the value of making employees for money, which in turn stimulates their desire to make money for the company. When speaking to the employees impassionedly and rightly on the stage, he also said it to himself. He took drugs just to have a moment of happiness and to be free from the shackles of money. In this way, the more money he made, the more and more he adopted various methods to hide black income. On the other hand, he wanted to use drugs to forget all kinds of unbearable methods for making money and hiding money, and indulged in the illusion world. Of course, this is a vicious cycle. At a certain point, all the effects explode together. When he realized it was too late, the family was broken, and he was in jail. What

made me interesting was the last two clips of the film. The FBI detective took the subway home after the Jordan case was over. He looked around the dirty and tired crowd on the subway. His expression was complicated. At that moment, did he remember that Jordan once said to him, "I have enough money for a casual meal. You have been busy with wages for a whole year." Yes, a firm conviction is like a federal police detective, and there are also times when there is a desire for money, not to mention the drunken Wall Street! There is also a clip of when Jordan was released from prison and became a sales trainer with his outstanding eloquence. When he held a pen and asked the people below how to sell the pen as he did more than ten years ago (?), never again. Those old friends answered as wonderfully as they did. At that moment, I don't know how Jordan felt? When he decided to confess his friend to get a reduced sentence, he completely failed on the road of friendship. Only time has passed. In this speech about selling pens, there are still so many eyes who are hungry for money and fame and fortune. "Greed" seems to be an addiction that people can never get rid of.

  • Jordan Belfort: You know, every time someone rises up in this world, there's always gonna be some asshole trying to drag 'em down.

  • Jordan Belfort: It was a madhouse, a greed fest, with equal parts cocaine, testosterone, and body fluids. It got so bad, I had to declare the office a fuck-free zone between the hours of 9 and 7.
