The guy at the end who introduced Leo at the sales seminar was the actual Jorden Belfort.

From what I understand. They actually toned down the drugs and debauchery a lot for this movie compared to the real story because they thought it would come off as unrealistic.

[ericlencher]

Yes the yacht sank and the helicopter was actually pushed overboard by the crew so Italian special forces could rescue them by landing on the helipad. And yes, the rescue plane crashed, but the pilot survived.

The 10am matinee of this was one of the funniest experiences I’ve had in a theater. At the beginning of the movie, the theater was pretty packed, mostly by senior citizens. By the end, more than half of them had walked out.

[SidPhoenix]

THIS should've been Leo's Oscar-winning performance (he's fantastic in Django Unchained, too. But I was thinking about a lead actor win when I wrote this). He is really good in The Revenant, of course. But it doesn't compare to this work in this one. Def my fav. performance of his.

[LordVolkov]

A comedic look at terrible people can be pretty fun. The drug fueled shenanigans got a good laugh out of me, especially Leo hurling himself down the stairs.

Trust me, watch Shutter Island if you still feel like Scorsese isn't doing it for you. I'd say it's his most accessible work if that makes sense, and I think you'll absolutely love it. Also another great performance by Leo

[OhnnyTsunami]

Man, Leo went ALL IN on this movie, the under bite at the end of his speech made me flat out cackle😂

[AM-dddx]

It always blows my mind that this was Margot's first major film at only 22!

[kylespeirs]

This is based on a true story. I was a stockbroker on Wall Street and this happens in firms. We didn’t care what happened to our customers, only ourselves getting money. The script that was used to pitch stocks was actually used. Love how realistic this is. Stratton Oakmont was a real firm, Drugs wasn’t unusual, especially cocaine.

[HC_YT]

For Scorsese… you need to see Shutter Island and Cape Fear. And The King of Comedy. Those 3 will 100% be up your alley

[DJGrice]

You should give 'Hugo' a watch. A very different Scorsese film as he wanted to make one that his grandkids could watch. It's really nice, one of my all-time favourites and it pays wonderful homage to the early years of cinematic story-telling.

It seems to me that those wanting less emphasis on the drugs and other bad behavior to make the main character seem more palatable or tolerable, in “Wolf” as well as “Goodfellas” and other films, are missing the notion that Scorsese doesn’t want Jordan Belfort or Henry Hill to seem like a swell guy. He’s always (almost always) deliberately chosen subjects that a majority of the audience would not want to have round for dinner. This is especially true of “Killers of the Flower Moon” — Leonardo was originally going to play the straight-arrow lawman but both he and Scorsese decided they weren’t interested in that so Leonardo chose to play one of the most pathetic, deceitful bastards in Scorsesedom. I’m sure Scorsese has had this conversation multiple times with every studio exec in town and apparently he’s stuck to his guns, which I admire quite a bit. 😊

The funniest part is that the main character of the movie is still alive, and out of prison, and is like chilling on Twitter giving financial advice. Especially because he openly admits and is portrayed in the movie that he initially got rich my scamming poor people into buying penny stocks because he told them it would make them rich. And now he's STILL giving talks to poor people and probably scamming them😂

[leftdeadfreak]

I saw this in theaters without knowing a single thing about it, I didn't even know Leo was in it and it was one of my favorite theater memories. What a movie haha

[axr]

Martin Scorsese has been on something of a record-breaking run lately. He just made history as only the 2nd person ever to receive 10 Directing nominations (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON earned him his 10th nomination) as well as the category's oldest ever nominee at age 81. Would love to hear your thoughts on this film.

[swordmonkey]

The woman playing Aunt Emma (Joanna Lumley) was in a British sitcom called Absolutely Fabulous in the 1980s where she played a shallow man eating ex model who worked at a fashion magazine. She was the avatar of superficial and self involved 80s women and she was hilarious.

[Josue-dzis]

Great content! Could I recommend Shutter Island? Leo's acting is beyond amazing!

[douglehenbauer]

I loved watching this with you! I loved the way you oscillated between laughter, disgust and anger! Thanks for the hard work you do giving us these fun and interesting reactions.

[bassicdiego]

i dated someone who was somewhat distantly related to belfort, and apparently the boat storm scene was a factor into why he missed her parents’ wedding… they don’t like to talk about him😅
