Money, betrayal and sex are forever intertwined. Sex needs money as the foundation and ends in betrayal. Money and betrayal are good brothers. The Wolf of Wall Street is the ultimate expression of these three.
How rich is Money
Jordan?
In fact, he is just one of the thousands of investment banks on Wall Street, who just made a fortune by catching up with the tide of the stock market bubble. In the end, he was just selling unreliable penny stock, and he just made an IPO of a company, which is incomparable to a real big investment banker. But the three hours of the movie also show us enough of the world of flowers to see just how ridiculous and absurd the lives of the rich can be.
Jordan's success has two points, one is his salesskill, the other is his desire.
I have to say that Jordan is always the best salesman. He first sold himself to Wall Street, then the stock to customers, and then the idea and technique of making money to the company's start-up team, and then Every time he gave a speech, everyone made a bloody sales pitch. In the end, after he was released from prison, he still made a living by selling his successful studies. This ability gave him the foundation for his success.
When I saw this movie for an hour, I was even more determined not to go into finance. Because sometimes money makes money requires desire, and people who have a strong desire for money are suitable for doing this kind of thing, which will make you willing to take greater risks when faced with many opportunities to choose the one with greater benefits. A strong desire for money can make you a top trader, and people with such a strong desire for money will naturally have a lot of drugs and sex, which is why we see Jordan in the film. .
No one can tell if a man needs to be bad to get rich, or if he is rich to be bad. He didn't take drugs at first, and he was good to his wife. He was a vigorous young man, but when he got rich, the temptations would become more and more, and he gradually fell into it and couldn't extricate himself. Sometimes money can deceive people, and when Jordan can no longer restrain his lust for money is when he really goes to demise.
What exactly do we make money for? There are two values in the film for us to choose from, one is Jordan's dramatic life, and the other is the sheriff of the FBI. The first head-to-head confrontation between the two brought this question to the fore. Are you willing to be greedy and fearful at any time to live a rich life or to live a life of integrity like a sheriff? You can only take the subway and work hard every day A life of humble wages. Although the sheriff succeeded in getting Jordan to be punished by law in the end, the initiative always seemed to be on Jordan's side. It was he who gave up reaching a deal with the SEC and chose not to quit the detective to have the opportunity to continue to investigate him. It was Jordan who took the initiative. Choosing to be a tainted witness made the sheriff's case so successful. The film deliberately weakened the sheriff's entire investigation process, and highlighted the scene where the inspector took the subway home alone after Jordan got his trial. Jordan made the whole film beautiful. The film, and the detective only has dong dong dong hello please don't touch the moment when we are the FBI is really beautiful.
It's not that the film's values are distorted, but I have been thinking about this issue myself recently. In the film, Jordan said At least as I was a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I showoff at the back of the limo, wearing 2000$ suit and 14000$ gold fuching watch. This is exactly what many people think. What I've been thinking about lately is whether a life that is bohemian and plays everything that should be played but ends up playing himself to death is more exciting, or a life that is normal and ordinary is a blessing, maybe a life of debauchery is absurd, but it seems that a prodigal son People who look back are more attractive than a good old man. What about the life before looking back? Leave it alone, this is our world.
The detective said Jordan, you are different from the assholes on Wall Street. They have been assholes for generations, and your current success is really through your hard work. Why do you want to do this now?
Jordan said that you also enrolled in a stock training class before you became a police officer. If you insisted on finishing that class, what would your life be like?
Jordan or Sheriff, which do you choose? In this age of crumbling beliefs.
What Betray
really linked to the plot in my eyes was betrayal. Betray your clients, betray your family, betray your friends.
On the first day Jordan entered Wall Street, what he learned was not the trading skills, but the attitude towards customers. During the chat with the boss, the boss kept telling him that the meaning of our business is to make more money for ourselves. Don't care about the life and death of the customer. When Jordan timidly said that he can also make money for the customer, the boss looked disdainful.
And when he really became rich and Jordan's dad threw the same question to him, he was stunned.
This reminds me of the 12-year Goldman Sachs executive director Greg Smith's resignation letter publicly published in the New York Times. In his eyes, the culture of Goldman Sachs is rotten, and Goldman Sachs people no longer think about how they can bring more wealth to their clients, but they care How much money do they make from this client, they even call the client a marionette. He no longer believed in the company, so he left, hoping his departure would serve as a wake-up call for Goldman Sachs.
This is Wall Street.
The betrayal with his family came from his two marriages, the first time he betrayed his wife, and the second time he was betrayed by his wife.
He loves his first wife, but he's used to fooling around outside, you can see his expression when he describes to his father how wild the girls outside are, he's already addicted to this kind of life and can't extricate himself from it, plain Married life no longer satisfied him. His first wife always believed he could make it, but when he did, he didn't love her anymore.
His second wife has more chances to appear in the film, and why did this woman stay with him and why did she leave him? Does she love this man? Maybe only she knows. On their first date, Jordan was so nervous that she seduced Jordan at the end. The most joyful expression on her face was the moment she saw the yacht, and finally left him when Jordan was at his lowest point and maybe even had nothing, even that At that time, he had been out of drugs for two years and was not so foolish. When Jordan finally broke down and took drugs again, she said you look at how you look now.
But two years ago, he was so crazy about drugs, didn't she see it too?
While it's all from Jordan's perspective, I'll never be able to understand women.
When Jordan first heard that the FBI needed him to rat, he felt that everything was unreasonable, so he chose to tell Danny that he was being monitored, because he always believed in his friends, just as he planned to quit the speech. , this group of friends made him what he is today. But when he found himself betrayed by his most trusted best friend, I believe he truly broke down.
When Steve betrayed him, he chose revenge, when the Swiss betrayed him, he chose to face it, and when Danny chose to betray him, he chose to betray everyone. Let the world be destroyed.
It is said that there are no permanent friends in the shopping mall, only permanent interests, but when all this happened in front of me, it was so bloody that I couldn't believe it.
He finally stood in court, lost his wife and children, lost friends, and could only look at his parents one last time before leaving.
After the disaster ,
everything rebuilds
like a new life .
We are so lucky .
Sex
Xiaoli once said that in his eyes, The Wolf of Wall Street is a modern version of the Roman Empire's erotic history.
Statistics show that "The Wolf of Wall Street" is by far the non-documentary with the most use of "fuck" in its dialogue, with the word appearing a total of 506 times in the film.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has warned director Martin Scorsese that if he doesn't redact the sex and nudity scenes in The Wolf of Wall Street, the film will be rated NC-17 (under 17) are not allowed to watch). Martin Scorsese responded by making modest changes to ensure the film was rated R.
The large-scale scenes of this movie have been talked about by many people. We have only seen crazy parties on yachts on the news before, and this time we finally saw them in the movie. Jordan said that he has an addiction to drugs and sex. In my eyes, this is just an excuse, the madness of young people. A flood of adrenalin and hormones.
The Oscar judges hated Scorsese's directness, saying it was empty and sensational, maybe they couldn't believe it was real, and they always thought it was exaggerated. I believe that Xiao Lizi, who has been in the entertainment industry for so long, must have seen these. to act so hard. I think the scale is just right. Although the whole film is full of various large-scale scenes, all of them serve the plot and none of them are to steal the show. You will always remember the thoughts this film brings to you, not these The lens is the master of the director.
Finally, let's talk about the little plum.
Watching the episode of Ellen Show interviewing Xiao Lizi a few days ago, Xiao Lizi mentioned that he completed the filming of Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street in a year and a half. There are some mentally disturbed characters on the list, and these three films consumed him too much energy, especially The Wolf of Wall Street. Then I took a full year of rest, and I am still resting now.
I like these three movies very much. His performances in them are all wonderful, and they happen to be rich people. You can see how hard Xiao Lizi is. Now Xiao Lizi's challenge to the Olympics has become a topic that must be mentioned at the Oscars every year, but it seems that every year everyone speaks highly of him, but they don't think he will win the award, saying that his performance is too hard, but it seems deliberate.
I like it though.
There are very few people who continue to break through themselves to act like this. Xiao Lizi has also experienced lows. When he comes out again now, he knows that he needs to work harder to surpass himself. After all, the Titanic set him an insurmountable peak. Although I really hope that Xiao Lizi won the award, but I don't want him to win the award. Maybe he will continue to give everyone such wonderful performances on the way to the Olympics. If he wins the award, maybe not so. tried.
The Golden Globe Award has already affirmed him. As for Oscar, let's go with the fate. I just hope to see this uncle make more good-looking movies. This is the most important thing.
Just like when happiness knocks on the door, it was Jordan himself who finally introduced Xiao Lizi after he was released from prison. I wonder how he would feel when he saw this movie?
