"Another Wall Street"

The

general background introduction of "Another Wall Street" is:
DiCaprio will play Long Island stock broker Belfort in the film. He refused to cooperate with the police in a large-scale securities fraud case in the 1990s. Cooperation and imprisonment for 20 months.
Belfort, who was hailed as the "Robin Hood in the stock market" by Forbes magazine at the age of 30, made a fortune by walking on the edge of the law and even breaking the law, creating a miracle of making $12 million in three minutes. In 1997, his company, Stratton Oakmont, was delisted by the National Association of Securities Dealers for defrauding customers. He himself was charged with fraud by the federal government and was sent to prison.


The fraud case involved extensive corruption on Wall Street and commercial banks including gangs infiltrated. Like DiCaprio’s previous "Cat and Mouse Game", there will be two protagonists in "The Wolf of Wall Street" — the majority of the film’s storyline will fall on Belfort and a person who wants to take it from him. On the relationship with the FBI agent who was inside.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is not so much an autobiography as it is a wonderful novel. It is worth mentioning that this fraud case revealed many ulterior secrets behind Wall Street and involved a large number of corruption cases of the boss behind the scenes.


I myself saw that in the film, DiCaprio used his best, best, and best acting skills to interpret a slightly bad script into a so-called Wall Street ugly drama in the late 1980s!
Of course, before making money is the kingly criterion, the characters in the play are temporarily labeled "wolves"!

After reading it, I feel that the directors did not want to describe the large-scale securities fraud case clearly, nor did they want to understand the essence of them. Instead, they spared no effort to exaggerate the beauties, yachts, orgy, drug abuse, and drug use. Is it because of the real needs of the actors?
Well, director, you won. You used your own scripts filled with water to play the so-called securities sales (pink orders?) filled with telemarketing, fake accounts, etc., as a member of Wall Street.
You won and completed the protection of Wall Street, because what you mocked is illegal securities sales, it's just a pyramid scheme!
Of course, regardless of Wall Street or illegal pyramid schemes, two points are pointed out at the end of the film:
1. No matter how you get money, but as long as you have money, your life in prison will still be splendid;
2. They are two types, At all times, without squeezing blood and sweat from the lowest level of all beings, the straw is cut one after another, seemingly endless!

Because this is in America!

    A glimpse into the MLM group, the whole film is in a state of being tired and panicked most of the time... Xiao Li is gone on the road of roaring and exaggerated acting. This year's Oscar is estimated to be out of play. Take a golden ball. Comeback awards can go home.

    Wonderful! Leonardo DiCaprio’s most actor-like work, don’t repeat the same mistakes until the end in the melee without a nomination...

    [to Donnie]

    Jordan Belfort: And you brought in all the sides... Tell him about the sides.

    Donnie Azoff: I ordered the sides, so...

    Max Belfort: Sides? Sides? $26,000 worth of sides? What are these sides? They cure cancer?

    Donnie Azoff: The sides did cure cancer, that's the problem, that's why they were so expensive.

    Jordan Belfort: [bursting into laughter] Shut the fuck up!

    Donnie Azoff: I'm serious.

  • Jordan Belfort: [narrating to the camera] An I.P.O. is an initial public offering. It's the first time a stock is offered for sale to the general population. Now as the firm taking the company public, we set the initial sales price then sold those shares right back to our friends. Yet...

    [stops and chuckles]

    Jordan Belfort: Look, I know you're not following what I'm saying anyway, right? That's... that's okay, that doesn't matter. The real question is this: was all this legal? Absolutely fucking not. But we were making more money than we knew what do with.
