The Wolf of Wall Street (2019)
L. DiCaprio in a role as someone entering stock trading in the late 80's, his learning the ropes then finding a way to make millions off of getting people to invest in his recommendations (commission work). Decent story line of a wife, a divorce, a wife, kids, divorce, and an truckload of hookers and blow along the way make up the non-financial part of the story. However, the heart of the story remains his climb to riches, illegal activity and extravagant lifestyle (feeling invincible), and making the most of his God given talent to convince others to buy. He has a core team of fk-ups as his partners at the outset, and by the end we have moral dilemmas for several on saving themselves vs their friendships, though his role and decisions remain the centerpiece. Lots of breastages, as there are lots of hookers. Brief full frontal nudity, but a lot of full backside nudity throughout. LOTS of drug use, which frequently leads to pretty funny scenes as they try to do things while being non-functional. Some family drama, but not overwhelming, just making him human. It's long. Around 3h long, it doesn't drag at points but it's not going full speed either. Hard to see much they could have trimmed, but it still feels like a full 3h. Good film. 7.5/10
) again to be sure...dammit.
