Its a black comedy not deep stuff drama

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2014)

**spoiler alert**
The most genius part about this movie is that it was a "Black Comedy". I'm sure that the memoirs were not meant to be a comedy but Scorsese made the right call. i can see that such a story might be very controversial if it was done as a biography-drama, as it is being told by one side of the story who is the bad guy. people will start saying (and they are already)that the movie celebrate this criminal. but if you would forget for a moment that it is a real story, i think most of us will agree that it was hilarious and fun to watch. and this is what the movie is all about. its about a con artist who scammed people and did so many bad things and finally he was able to have a happy ending (not fair but true).
what i most like about this movie is that it is one of those movies which show us the inside of a situation and make us more aware. this movie did not show us the effect he had on his victims but it showed us the strategies these brokers pull to get a commission. whenever a sales person call me now i will probably imagine him doing what DeCaprio was doing when he was convincing that man to buy from him (when he was teaching his employees how to close a deal). I remember when i first saw "wag the dog" i swear i look at the media and politics from a different perspective now !!
so i really wish those who are looking for "depth" and tears to just try to relax and laugh at this movie and perhaps take a lesson or two from real events happened to real people.
I never thought that Leonardo DiCaprio can be this funny and at the same time give one of his absolutely best performances. and Jonah Hill was hilarious.
i noticed one tiny mistake that i think i shouldn't be picky and mention it, but im going to anyway, coz well, I'm. in the scene where DiCaprio and his wife had their last sex together, DiCaprio was without his pants laying with her arguing about the divorce and in the next shot he was fully dressed !! it was so obvious i had no idea how it passed by Scorsese !!!!
otherwise.... a fantastic movie
