The Wolf of Wall street Movie Report
Maxima St., Villa Arca Subd., Project 8, Quezon City A Final Project Presented to Dr. Carlo Roque Faculty of Graduate School AMA University Quezon, City In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Subject DBA 621 (Strategic Marketing) By Christopher Dayagdag DBA student 3rd Trimester, S.Y. 2013-2014 The Wolf of Wall Street A movie reportby Christopher Dayagdag One thing that I will never forget about this great film was this line Sell me this pen. I was amazed on how Jordan Belfort started his career as Telephone Investment Broker. Based on the autobiography of the same title, Jordan Belfort dreams of living the rich lifestyle and becoming a successful stockbroker, in order to get there he goes down the path of crime, corruption and greed. Personally some scenes made me laugh as they have situations like throwing a midget into a giant bulls-eye, snorting cocaine, taking every drug possible, and landing a helicopter in his backyard. These are just some of the crazy situations that happen in Martin Scorseses The Wolf of Wall Street. Despite all of this, the film never apologizes for what it is, we are provided with a main character that is so fantastic from reality and his own world, turning into a despicable human being. Instead of making Jordan Belfort a more sympathetic character, Martin Scorsese keeps us mesmerized through Americas most powerful intoxications the happiness of wealth, and just how it can completely change a person.This movie definitely reminds us of the consequences of cause and effect. They say that one of the worst characteristics of human nature is greed. Sometimes it makes us believe that the worst-case scenario will never happen. We spend money, waste time or eat like kings today,because we believe that well be able to make it up in the future. The Wolf of Wall Street really pushes the envelope with their portrayal of sexual acts and drug abuse. Its surprising that they got away with so much. This is down to the picture being

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day

    As Lewis points out, the studio films of the 1980s and 1990s were put together as packages based more on profit than artistry, while the marketing and promotion resembled that of a political campaign, with as much as one-third of the budget going to advertising costs (2008, p. 399). Today, however, with no norm being the norm, especially in the realms of financing and marketing, films are advertised and distributed individually--sometimes based on the target audience or projected success of the film--in arrangements worked out by the studios, producers, and…

    The Chilling Effect In Lawrence Kasdan's The Big Chill

    Hollywood films have been an essential element of American culture throughout the twentieth century. The prevalence of the films produced by major studios makes them significant indicators of mainstream acceptance of various images on the screen as well as in the society; these films depict contemporary ideas and lifestyles of the era they attempt to mimic. Lawrence Kasdan's, The Big Chill, is the ultimate 1980s baby-boomer movie, presenting the definitive portrayal of the emerging yuppie archetype during a decade of greed. From running shoes, jogging, camcorders, and Motown, to self-analytical manipulation, and guilt-ridden upwardly mobile lifestyles, this film accurately depicts a time of money-hungry status seekers.…

    Mgmt 5590 Final

    Few business episodes have been the subject of so much debate and despair as the swift descent of once-admired energy trader Enron. The saga of this firm, which rose to prominence as rapidly as it subsequently fell, serves as a kind of morality tale of corporations, regulators, and investors. As we have discussed in class, the tragic effects of Enron’s overreaching arrogance provide a textbook example of both the best and the worst of American business culture and practice. Although the catastrophe’s complete impact may never be completely determined, it seems likely that Enron’s collapse caused more than one major company to cease to exist, several industries experienced radically changed environments, regulators and investors modified their behavior, and all firms are now subjected to greater scrutiny and regulatory oversight. So how did one of the brightest stars of American…

    The Antagonist vs Robben Barron

    Gordon Gekko, who played in the (1987) film as the antagonist, portrayed a self-interested egomaniac, only concerned with obtaining wealth. He preyed on young stockbrokers, conning them into his dirty insider trading schemes . On the other hand we have Frank Cowperwood who was a Robber Baron in the novel The Financier (2008). I think he was about riches and control. Both of these businessmen thrive off of control, and they enjoy excessive money; both control and money bring them the power necessary to maintain their unethical insider trading These men will experience a life of riches and confinement in period in their life.…

    Wallstreet

    Wall Street by Oliver Stone gives you a great perspective on real life situations that can be occurring in the world around us. Bud, a new-comer to the stock market world, was eager to get himself out there and be a successful stockbroker. Bud became engaged with Gordon Gekko, a successful shareholder and business man. Gordon took advantage of the resources and insider information Bud had with the airline company his father worked at, leading to insider trading. This became an issue because Bud believed he could trust Gordon that he would not sell off the airline company to make more money, but indeed Gordon did betraying Bud. To Bud, this was something unexpected, personal and he was completely blind-sided by the situation, but to Gordon it was just a business deal. The movie really gives you an angle on real life situations that could potentially end devastatingly. In Wall Street, there are two quotes that fit my view on the Stock Market and one that does not.…

    Wolf Of Wall Street Satire

    The Wolf of Wall Street is a film which was released on December 25, 2013 and managed to make a grand impact on all who ventured to see it. Director Martin Scorsese and writer Jordan Belfort were able to manipulate the story of Belfort’s life through extravagant, lavish, and relatively vile acts; which, in the movie seem to vicariously satisfy many viewers unknowing needs for a crime-comedy movie with a degree of intellectualism and semi-tonal black comedy. In my opinion, Wolf of Wall Street was able to conquer the ever growing population of businessmen with a quintessential and satirical analysis of their respective lifestyles. However, some people categorize The Wolf of Wall Street as propaganda or dislike it due…

    “Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis” is not just another documentary on the financial crisis of 2007. One might wish that it was, as the crisis being analyzed is far more dire than the one we are currently in. Not to mention, it is a crisis that is yet to happen, according to director Martin Borgs, and seemingly impossible to stop. No hope of reconciliation is offered in the movie, as the nations of the world and their foolish governments have already set the ball a ‘rolling down a slippery slope.…
