'The Wolf of Wall Street': Sex, Drugs, Stocks n'Roll . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on December 25, 2013 at 14:44:46:
Scorsese has brilliantly blended 'Wall Street' with 'Animal House' to produce a wild, raucous tale of nearly three hours that literally flies by. We see the mercurial rise and fall of a driven Jordan Belfort played by DiCaprio with virtuoso style and panache. The rest of the cast shined as well with Jonah Hill playing his trusted and goofy second-in-command and Rob Reiner doing a good turn playing Belfort's dad.
I never thought Scorsese was up for Roman orgies but I was apparently wrong, several times. Plenty of skin but it flies by so quickly it leaves one in a state of awe not titillation. The use of drugs and alcohol were overwhelming in the telling of Belfort's story which began in 1987. (I had nearly forgotten how Quaaludes were such an obsession during those times.)
Belfort's life runs just like a movie...his life was a movie and Scorcese captured it with the appropriate amount of excess and over-indulgence of the time. This is a must-see for the spectacle as much as the story of a over-wound man.
