"Dream of Red Mansions" on Wall Street

The shabby room was empty, and the wat was full of beds, and the
grass was withered and poplar. It was once a dance venue.
The spider silk is full of carved beams, and the green gauze is now pasted on the canopy window.
What is the fat thick, the powder is fragrant, how can the temples become frost again?
Yesterday, Huangtu Longtou gave the bones, and tonight the mandarin ducks lie at the bottom of the red light tent.
Boxes full of gold, boxes full of silver, beggars all slander with their eyes wide open.
I'm sighing that other people's lives are not long, so I know I'm back to be mourned!
Well-trained, you may be a strong player in the future.
Choosing ointment, whoever hopes to live in Fireworks Alley!
Because of the small shackles and hats, which caused the shackles to be locked, I felt sorry for the
cold yesterday, and now
I am too long as the purple python: I will appear on the stage when you sing it, and I will recognize the other country as my hometown.
It's ridiculous. In the end, they all make wedding clothes for others!

This passage of Zhen Shiyin's explanation of "Good Song" is the best interpretation of this movie in my opinion.

When watching a movie, I often think of "Dream of Red Mansions". In the first half of the movie, you don’t need to be drunk or feasting, and feel sorry for those scenes. If it is released in China, about three hours can be cut into two hours. Naked and shameless, it also makes people laugh. Jordan (Uncle L) and his first boss beat my chest in the restaurant when I burst into tears and laughed. I can’t wait to beat the floor when Uncle L was playing with the dripping wax play. The frequency of swear words is so fast that it catches up with "pulp fiction", so that I thought at the time that apart from being too humorous and not too cold, this movie was a bit of Quentin's style.

But thinking about it carefully, after those wonderful dialogues and dazzling pictures, Martin Scorsese insisted on the despair of capitalism from beginning to end. Uncle L vowed: "Every time I just chose to being rich." Then his employees. Cheers enthusiastically, treating him as a god, because he is rich, and I can only see the exaggeration.

The director’s deliberate arrangement echoes the pen-selling plot before and after, and the inverted position in the confrontation with the FBI agent. Although there are not many scenes in the plot, it is indeed a foreshadowing and father's rivalry... These obvious intentions are not difficult to reflect the director's. Satire. And when I saw half of it, I guessed that the reason that left him with nothing in the end must be a trivial matter. The fact is indeed half a catastrophe, which is a bit incompatible with the realistic style from beginning to end (so that it makes me feel a bit of Quentin’s dark humor) . When a person is so rich, it is impossible to have such naive problems in certain things, and when a person is so rich, it is impossible to collapse so easily in certain aspects. The FBI didn't look great. So in the end, the educational significance of this ending is obvious. You can have nothing if you have money. Isn't the thing you pursue a damn dream?


But apart from the superficial irony effect, the financiers did not get beaten to death by a stick in this movie, although most of the time they were depraved, they were bastards, they were full of swear words, and their office was messy... But when the posture that has passed away began to take shape. , Their world seems to be rationalized again. In the scene in which Uncle L was dismissed, he talked about the relationship between the establishment of the company and one of his female employees. The female employees choked and shouted: "Jordan, I fucking love you!" "The friendship between them is indeed there, and it is very touching. They also started from scratch, and they also have their own wisdom. Their world is not as bad as we thought. At that moment, I had forgotten how much they were taking for granted.

Nevertheless, the catastrophe is imminent and fly separately. "There is no friend in Wall Street." So these moments of moving are based on the basis of no conflict of interest. Even drug sellers know not to sell buyers, but these beasts in clothing have no principles. The contrast at this moment is extremely chilling.

In fact, the friendship between them is better built on the basis of a common goal, which is money. Jordan obviously has to treat the company he built as a second home. Family life is not paid too much attention to. The growth of the child seems to only tell the audience how many years have passed. And the relationship between Jordan and his wife is better based on a fixed model. The rich diamond celebrity wants to have a blonde hot girl as his wife. Then they had a perfect fairy tale wedding, a mansion and two children. This is the legendary heaven on earth. And in the end, Jordan's all his hard work is the company, so he is obsessed with it. It is not so much that he is addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol. It is better to say that he is addicted to the feeling of making money and the pleasure of being in the company.

What's wrong with their world, it's just that at the end, it's utterly empty. But it was this dream exuding the smell of rotten eggs that attracted countless flies. Jordan’s first enlightened boss ended up with the company’s bankruptcy, and Jordan didn’t have a good end. The cycle never stopped. For

three hours, the visual enjoyment and sympathy were overflowing and finally the despair and the cold were shuttled. At the same time, he couldn’t help himself. Laughing to the back pain and leg cramps. Compared with the obscureness of "Taxi Driver", this movie has undoubtedly earned a box office and a good reputation, so it deserves the title of best in 2013! Martin Scorsese, I'll give you a fucking blow job for this movie!

    The film and acting are a bit too much. Some scenes want to show the grand picture of the Roman Empire's erotic history... But the passionate look of a group of brokers makes people feel that no matter capitalism or communism or any -ism, the essence is The same one. The public needs a clever leader to set up a specific vision and give meaning to existence. Even if everything is nothing but the deception of the leader in order to realize his personal interests.

    After watching "The Wolf of Wall Street" in nearly three hours, I was full of emotions. How to become a wolf in a highly stylized modern business society? Fight like the little plum in this film, go to scams. This is the true American spirit, and this is the true American dream. Those desperadoes who first traveled across the ocean to the North American continent to find new opportunities have the deepest understanding of the American spirit and American dream...
