What impressed me most about this movie was the sentence "Sell me this pen". At first when he was at the Jordan startup, he went to recruit a small drug boss with a history of gangsters, and he asked him how would you sell me this With a pen, he said, "Do you have a napkin, can you put your name on it?" Then, for environmental reasons, he didn't, so he went on to say, demand is supply. No demand creates demand. This is a business genius.

There is also such an interesting ending at the end. After he was released from prison, he asked again how to sell the pen. Almost everyone present didn't get the answer he wanted.

From my point of view, there is a kind of irony from the author about it. Not everyone has the opportunity to break out of their own world on Wall Street. Without a keen financial sense and insight, they can only be an ordinary person forever. Although the drug lord did not have a very deep culture, he had the knowledge provided by innate and social experience that made him a fish in water in the financial world. So, stop having any meaningless American dream, more people can only live ordinary life, not everyone has a chance to have a drink tonight and get drunk tonight, but everyone has a chance to get drunk and I wake up alone, we All I can do is to live every ordinary day to the fullest and not to waste it.

The Wolf of Wall Street quotes

  • 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.

  • Jordan Belfort: Actually, the madness started on our very first day, when one of our brokers, Ben Jenner, christened the elevator by getting a blow job from the sales assistant. Her name was Pam and to her credit, she did have this amazing technique with this wild twisting jerk motion. About a month later, Donnie and I decided to double team her on a Saturday afternoon while our wives were out shopping for Christmas presents. Eventually Ben married her, which was pretty amazing, considering she blew every single guy in the office. Well, he got depressed and killed himself about three years later.
