#The wolf of wall street reddit discussion movie
It's a good movie, not a great movie is all I'm saying. The only movie out of all of those that is around the same level as Wolf is Heat. It has a higher IMDB rating than Casino and Shutter Island, and just looking at the Casino and Wolf IMDB pages it also is higher rated than Inglorious Basterds, and is the same rating as Raging Bull, Scarface, Taxi Driver, and Heat. DiCaprio and Scorsese weren't as good as usual. But it in no way shape or form lived up to the hype. I'm not saying that Wolf wasn't an amusing movie. The law was on to DeNiro in that movie for being unlicensed to run the casino long before everything fell to shit. Same style of white collar crime keeping money off the books and putting it into the crime familys' pockets. And if you've seen Casino, you'd know that there was much, much more to the crimes than just murder. There were very few comedic scenes, although sometimes the excessive drugs/hookers/etc made you laugh. If it were a comedy, it failed at being funny for the most part. The movie succeeds at showing the seductiveness and the sleaziness of finance in the 90's and makes fun of it in the meantime. The prevailing feeling in this movie wasn't the threat of violence but of the prospect of fun and sensual pleasure. These weapons involve manipulation percentages and how do you make that interesting? The use of that style only emphasizes the parallels between wall street and organized crime to show how they can rhyme. The crimes weren't committed with 22 caliber pistols or ice picks. The format only emphasized drug induced felonious activities being performed in a normal office environment. If he were to make another gangster movie in the format of Casino or Goodfellas then I could see your point. Yes the style was very similar to Casino and Goodfellas, but it served a purpose.
He hasn't really been in a comedy, and man did he make me laugh during this.
Say what you will about Leo, but I think a lot of the attitude towards his performance is due to the fact that it was a comedic roll. It just wasn't as good as most of his other movies, despite having a lot of similarities to movies like Casino or Goodfellas. If I were watching this and it were some random director, I'd probably have enjoyed it more but I hold Scorsese to a higher standard. In case it wasn't obvious from what I've already said, I'm a big Scorsese fan. It lacked the overall fluidity of some of Scorsese's better films. A few exceptions, including the scene on the yacht with the FBI agent, Jonah Hill's scene where he ended up getting the Mexican guy arrested, and the scene where DiCaprio was out of his mind on the special, old drugs. The story was told in the exact same format as Casino and Goodfellas, but despite being a three hour movie, a lot of the scenes felt so rushed to me. I don't think that it was Marty's best job at storytelling either. I thought he completely sucked, and his scenes were all carried by DiCaprio - either scenes directly involving DiCaprio, or like his final scene on the subway, where he's sitting totally expressionless and you just assume he's thinking about what DiCaprio said on the yacht about sitting on a subway with his balls sweating. Supporting cast was good for the most part, except that FBI agent. By contrast, I thought Jonah Hill was excellent. He was fantastic in The Departed and Shutter Island (both better Scorsese films) but I just didn't think his performance was as good as some of his others. I'm a huge Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but I didn't think he was all that great in this movie. I just haven't had the time lately to watch a three hour movie, so I'm a little late seeing it.Įver see any other Marty Scorsese movie? Especially Casino? It's Casino, just modernized and without gangster violence.
