    Shutters like on a camera that let in light- light meaning the truth. Robbie Robertson organised the music with Scorsese Although of course we don’t have to imagine it with the foghorn-like score. Add to this first-rate technical credits including editor Thelma Schoonmaker‚ cinematographer Robert Richardson‚ production designer Dante Ferretti and costume designer Sandy Powell‚ and Scorsese has made one of the best-looking György Ligeti and Krzysztof Penderecki scoring the film’s most harrowing

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
