The Wolf of Wallstreet

Absolute De Caprio style, quirky, bizzare, lifesize melodrama packed in 3hrs on the life of the Stockbroker turned motivational speaker Jordan Belfort . Its another Micheal Scorsese trademark reality show...

I loved the movie.

It was a slow paced movie, but at the end I can vividly remember all the characters. You are left with the WTF expression. You know this is reality and wonder what the hell is wrong with the whole world and deeply  realise that you are part of this too, mostly as victims.

Although the characters were not walking on the main wall street , it showed the dark alleys and dark issues of the stock brokering drama. All this "Show me the money" fiasco leave you flabbergasted. You can just sip from your cup of Chai and bury your dark desires in them. Lust for everything in life takes you far far away from everything you love.

The dark humour is good, specially when De Caprio tries to talk to the audience very very briefly, like fine prints in contractual documents.

Its flesh, blood, money and drugs all the way...dont watch it if those are not your choice of visuals.
