"The Wolf of Wall Street" is dizzying and rich in material. Three hours go by in a flash. Martin Scorsese is worthy of being a master director of storytelling! As he gets older, his works become more and more vigorous. It is not the first time that Scorsese has made a film with dark human nature, but there has never been a film that can face the rotten human nature, high society, and the stock market like "The Wolf of Wall Street". It is completely a feeling of "golden and jade, and the swindle in it". Compared with the dangerous gangsters, the intriguing casinos are even more outrageous!
Scorsese is a bit smarter. He never tells a story, and his technique can be harmonious. It is undoubtedly better than his apprentice Oliver Stone's "Wall Street", and it can even be said that he has made a black comedy with a high absurd nature. The protagonist played by Leonardo is a character that makes people unlovable, and Scorsese uses his perspective to recall the past, and uses the camera to film his emotional ups and downs. Love and hate, shock, anger, laugh, and sympathy. Every time I look at it, new ideas emerge.
Leonardo has challenged such a shameless and inhuman character for the first time since he started filming. It shows his trust in Scorsese. No matter in terms of scale and consciousness, he played to the fullest, interpreting an image of arrogance, selfishness, drug addiction, and lust. The most exciting scene is the use of a three-inch tongue to call a customer to ask him to buy stocks. His tone is polite, but his body language is insulting. It satirizes the concept of "customer is God" in the traditional service industry. The core values of The Wolf of Wall Street can be applied to any industry. Brokers and clients are nothing but a buying and selling relationship. One is rhetoric for money, and the other is scripted for money. In a capitalist society, money is everything!
The ending of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is also intriguing. Although the protagonist played by Leonardo was punished in the end, it cannot change the reality. People work hard for a lifetime, and they may not imagine how the protagonist's luxurious life is like. They long for the reversal of fate, so they become the slaughtered lambs in the eyes of the protagonist. At the end of the movie, after the protagonist got out of prison, he still bought his sales concept sophisticatedly, because he and his audience believed in the power of money. In contrast, insisting on morality and justice would become loneliness, which is probably It is the sadness of reality.
