The Wolf of Wall Street
トーク情報- marotorika
marotorika It comes as no surprise, of course, that Martin Scorsese has found a new muse. After his career-defining work with Robert De Niro over three decades, Scorsese has turned his camera on Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom he's now made five movies in the space of about ten years. That's a pretty impressive number, and a statistically unlikely good set of films to boot. The Wolf Of Wall Street is easily the finest of the lot: a high-wire, high-octane corporate comedy that's as entertaining as it is excoriating - a delicious blast of hellfire distilled into the year's most outrageous biopic.

marotorika Based on a true story, Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio) is a clean-cut kid who starts working in one of Wall Street's top stockbroking firms in 1987. His boss Mark (Matthew McConaughey) is a vision of Jordan's future: a man corrupted inside and out, marching to his own odd tribal chant, hopelessly hooked on drugs, alcohol, women and money. When Black Monday forces Jordan to take a job selling penny stocks to the gullible lower class, he picks up a few more tricks of the trade. He resolves to set up his own company that will earn him and his buddies untold sums of money. Soon, he is the talk of the financial sector, and his profligate ways earn him the scrutiny of the federal authorities.

marotorika Many have cried foul over the moral bankruptcy that purportedly riddles Scorsese's film. Detractors have argued that The Wolf Of Wall Street seems to be celebrating Jordan's way of life and the varied excesses in which he indulges and soon comes to take for granted. Certainly, having it all strung together - constant drug-taking, casual sex, unchecked profanity, dwarf-flinging competitions - can indeed be too much for viewers of a more sensitive or conservative disposition.
