In the crisis-ridden investment world, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), who runs the Stratton Oakmont Company, lives extravagant and powerful. In 1987, 22-year-old Jordan entered the Rothschild company, starting from the operator, under the guidance of senior broker Mark (Matthew McConaughey), and entered the world of stockbrokers full of drugs and desires. But not long after he became a registered stock broker, the company collapsed within a month due to "Black Monday." Jordan switched to a small company that sold "penny stocks". The commission for selling "penny stocks" was an astonishing 50%, while the stock commission for listed companies was only 1%. Jordan got a lot of money with his tongue-in-cheek tongue, and he set up a new door with his neighbor Downey (Jonah Hill) and a group of friends. Starting from formulating a script to sell stocks, the company grew in size and wandered around the world. Jordan in the gray area made a lot of money and was called the "Wolf of Wall Street". Jordan divorced, married the Duchess, and bought a yacht and a helicopter. He lived a luxurious life with drug addiction and sex addiction. However, not only the Securities and Futures Commission, but also the FBI has begun to pay attention to him. Jordan transferred the illegally obtained funds of more than 20 million yuan to a Swiss bank by strapping them out of the country with his friend's wife, and put them in the name of his wife's British aunt. The Swiss bank staff who did not want to operate at this time were caught in the United States because of another Red Flower restaurant owner who was arrested for laundering drug money. He was convicted of securities fraud and money laundering. Because Jordan confessed everyone, he helped the police catch more than More than 20 people who seriously violated the law were only sentenced to three years in prison. After his release from prison, Jordan turned into a success speaker, teaching his sales skills.
"As a salesman, customers don't have demand, so you have to create demand."
"Rich people are too smart to buy penny stocks.
" Firefighters, teachers, the FBI, and in the end you get paid so low."
"I live in a place where everything is priced out, if you learn how to sell." The
film is based on ex-Wall Street stockbroker Jordan Belfort Adapted from his autobiography The Wolf of Wall Street.
Originally thought it was a financial and business war movie, but after reading it, I found out that it was actually a biographical film of diaosi creating a myth. The conspiracy to trade stocks also involves repeatedly earning commissions by constantly selling stocks to clients and not letting them exit, earning huge commissions for selling risky penny stocks, helping a friend's shoe company IPO and owning 85% privately The dry shares of the company are held by friends for arbitrage, etc., and most of the time, they are showing a large-scale picture of paper drunkenness. The financial circle is really messed up. Is it sad that those who work in industry can’t make money but those who engage in finance?
It is really important to be eloquent in sales, as can be seen in the two scenes of selling pens in the film. Jordan's speech can really stir people's hearts.

    It’s a good shot, but it’s basically just putting the story of "Good Guy" with the background of Wall Street. Isn’t it too confusing? Leonardo is still inferior to De Niro in the sense of proportion. It's the same as that of chicken blood. Look at McConaughey's sense of proportion.
