Wolfie gets to Wall Street
Wolf of Wall Street While watching the previews for the Wolf of Wall Street I was intrigued but still skeptical, I mean another Wall Street movie. I barely made it through “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” with Shia LaBeouf. This was no movie I was craving to see after each time I watched the preview. Granted Leonardo DiCaprio does continuously produce good movies and who doesn’t love Jonah Hill. Time passed by and I sort of forgot about the movie completely until my family decided to stop by the theater to see what was out. I saw the movie poster on the outside of the theater and it drew me in. It simply looked crazy, fun, and wild all pilled in behind DiCaprio while he stood with just a simple little smirk. I mentioned the movie and we decided to sit down and see the film. From the second the movie came on till the credits rolled, I was in love! This movie was just what every man wants. Money, sex, drugs, and not a worry in the world. Who would/could want more? I loved all the backstory they gave of Jordan Belfort. You were able to connect with him, so when he began to change into a money craved sex and drug addict you would still like him as the protagonist. Once his first wife found out Belfort’s cheating ways, it kind of hit home, due to some extenuating circumstances back home. But despite the horrible thing he put that woman through, you just wanted to see him railing Margot Robbie in the very next scene. DiCaprio was absolutely amazing throughout the film. I laughed throughout the entire movie and could have sat there for another 2 hours of the movie. And after getting up from the movie, I was so into it I had no idea I had been in the theater for about 3 hours. The movie in itself inspired me! No, not to be a druggy or lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead, but to simply live better. No one wants to be poor so why not get what you want. Find a way to achieve what you want and go through with it. The way Jordan Belfort lived is only how I can imagine.

    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    From just a structure and story standpoint, I loved the unpredictability of the movie. It’s rare that I find I have no idea where a movie is going, but that was the case here. I was surprised on more than one occasion by where “Three Billboards” goes, and that only made the film that much more…

    This movie was pretty funny and had some slow moments as well. This movie shows us what it's like to work for a company that starts to have problems within. This movie shows us how people feel working for a company everyday and not enjoying your job. The main character talks about how working at Initech is the worst day of his life and that the next day is worker that the day before. It also shows us what can happen when you push an employee to the end. Initech brings in efficiency experts that hardly know what they are doing besides laying off people and promoting those who don't care about their jobs. The movies main focus is around Initech, but also shows us another company that needs to implement change, Chatskys. At first I thought what am I going to write about from this movie, but there is plenty of things that need change and adjustment from the bottom all the way up in this company.…

    The movie was entertaining. It had a lot of funny moments. For instance, when Walter and his boss were fighting in the elevator over a childhood toy called Strechy Arm Strong. But the funniest part for me was watching adult men acting like little kids. The scene that got me laughing so…

    All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.…

    In my opinion, I though the film was powerful and overwhelming at times. As, the public figures and political activists gave a lot of information. Analyzing the film, you see how America’s complex prison system affects people of color. It is shocking. Because despite living in a country that gives liberty to all…

    I identified really well with the main character, Chris Kyle, as I watched the movie. What really hit home was how much he missed his family and the way of life back in the United States. After seeing the move it has made me appreciate the many sacrifices that our men and service women make to keep our country safe. This movie does a great job of putting that into perspective and sharing with us the hardships of true warfare. This movie was definitely a rewarding experience for me. It opened my eyes to how warfare really is. Plus it briefly touched on the death of Chris Kyle. It gave me more information on his murder and that his killer was struggling with a severe case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.…

    Wolf Of Wall Street Satire

    • 1202 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…

    Without a doubt, it's a hugely compelling and thought provoking movie and it makes you ask very poignant questions about yourselves or anyone around. As we grow and get lost in the crowd we tend to keep away from the philosophy of life and seek only materialistic things, the money, the name, the prosperity while our purpose of existence and purpose of doing something still remains in question.…
