The Wolf of Wallstreet was my most anticipated film of the year. Martin Scorsese is my favorite director, and anytime he and Leonardo get together I know that I am in for a treat. I actually saw The Wolf of Wallstreet on Christmas, it's opening day!
When the movie first ended I left with negative feelings towards the film. I did not like Leonardo's character at all. He played an incredibly selfish man who indulged in sex and drugs. I did not like how the movie seemed to glorify Jordan Belfort and all the crimes he committed.
I did however, appreciate Scorsese's touch. I just love his personal touches and the serious conversations mixed with playful jokes. As time went by, I found myself still thinking about scenes from the movie. I know when that happens, the film really made an impression on me.
Now, I must say I actually did like the film. It did tell a great story, even if the protagonist wasn't very likable. I must say though, if you are planning on seeing the movie prepare yourself for some very graphic scenes. Scorsese pretty much had free reign when making the film because it was independently produced.
Overall, I give it 4/5 stars. I loved Leonardo's acting and Scorsese's directing, I just didn't like how graphic it was.
I've been contemplating whether to go see this movie. If it leaves an impression like that, then I think it's a go. Plus, I love Leo <3
