I also heard that Leonardo is doing well in this movie. I was free, so I went to watch it on Thursday afternoon. There are indeed quite a lot of scenes that are not suitable for children, but if it is to reflect the extravagant and promiscuous life, I think it is not too much to think about the wine pool and meat forest of our former emperors. The story is probably about the history of a stockbroker's fortune. After this guy left Wall Street, he accidentally came into contact with Penny Stock - 50% commission, plus his eloquence, he quickly made a lot of money. So he found a bunch of friends and started his own company. At first they only sold to the poor, but later the taste became bigger and bigger and started to fool the rich. Soon, this guy lived a life like heaven, married a new wife, bought a good house, took drugs, went to prostitutes, and fooled people.
The discussion about money, morality, and happiness speaks for itself. We all know that money is not everything, and no money is everything. His ex-wife had questioned his business, and the stocks that he hyped up were actually not profitable at all. That is to say, his customers are not getting any benefit. He then argued that there was nothing wrong with selling junk to junk. It's very similar to what they do in American Hustle: use the mentality of desperate people that they won't let go when they grab a life-saving straw for their own benefit. Liars are hateful, but people's mentality of dreaming of making a fortune overnight is not a breeding ground for such crimes. The clichés always make sense, keep your feet on the ground, and there will be no pie in the sky.
To a certain extent, the buddy Jordan played by Leonardo can be considered to be pitted by his buddies, the scumbags. Is it because I watch too few movies, why does Jonah Hill always act as a scumbag. - Cherish life and stay away from bad friends. But the scumbags are really good at eloquence. There is this scene in the movie where the bad friends are sitting around the dinner table, and the drug dealer (this one is played by Shane in The Walking Dead) says he can sell anything, Jordan Throwing him a pen and asking him to sell him, the drug dealer asked Jordan to write his name on a tissue and hand it to him, Jordan said I didn't have a pen, the drug dealer threw the pen back in disdain, Say: Now you need this pen. This is creating demand. The final scene of the film echoes this plot. After Jordan comes out of prison and gives the newborn calves the secret of sales, he takes a pen, walks to the audience, and says to one of them: sell me this pen. The audience member nervously took the pen and said something like "this pen is good" and Jordan took the pen back, walked over to the audience next to him, and did the same. This was repeated several times, and several audience members started with "How is this pen", and then the whole film ended. There is no successor in the country, and that era cannot be returned. I feel rather sad. Therefore, a good eloquence is the key to success.
The three-hour movie doesn't look tired (probably because I basically understand it), the actors are very hardworking, the plot is relatively compact, and the music is not bad, it is worth watching.
