My Favoite of 2013

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2014)

Martin Scorsese once again has done a fantastic job on making a remarkable film that will be appreciated 20 years from now. The story is obviously based on true story of a stock broker in Wall Street. Right out of the bat, this is absolutely a dark subject matter but colorful comedy story that makes you laugh your ass off. A lot of critics have complained it's just a repetitive and pointless film, well several things you need to concern, first if the nudity and profanity bothers you, this isn't your movie, and indeed, there is a lot of it in this film, and it gets worse and worse as the story goes along. However, you need to realize this shows the reality of these characters, it shows their greediness, it shows how the more they make money the greedier they become, and they want the same thing over and over again but just in bigger or stranger stage, it shows how much nothing matters to them, I mean absolutely nothing, it shows how much these people who used to be nothing now they are all everything and want everything with giving no crap to anybody else, that's the reason it can be repetitive to some people. The dialogue and narration are very smart and natural in this film, it's not just there to fill the gaps, and it's there to show the nasty nature of these greedy bastards and inside the protagonist mind. It shows how much fun these people were having and it's shown in hilarious and comic tone, but it's the truth, I personally think the laugh at these situations are more affective than in drama tones, be you ask yourself "Am I laughing at someone's stealing money and ruining someone's life?", the audience feel more guilty, and that's the point but it is not represented the usual and cliché way, which is why it's difficult for some to approach this with a comic tone. Regarding the performances, oh my lord, Leonardo DiCaprio brings his best performance of his career, prepare to be amazed by that; Jonah Hill absolutely deserves a nomination; Matthew McConaughey, oh my god, he's there in three or four scenes, and he kills it all - also I think he was getting prepared for Dallas Buyers Club; Margot Robbie astonishingly a beautiful and hot woman and talented actress, watch out for her in the next couple years – Aussie actresses are pretty talented honestly. The soundtrack fits the film so well, I just wish they would have released the end credit track that Matthew McConaughey hums, it's pretty awesome – FYI, that single improvise make two other scenes to be awesome in the final act. I also think the pacing and editing is absolutely fine; the three hours was gone quickly for me, I was so absorbed that I only looked at the time to make sure that I've been really laughing and enjoying this for 2.5 hours.
Overall, this is my favorite film of 2013 and one of my favorite of all time. I had never laughed so hard in theater before (I almost rolled over or broke the front seat), I had so much fun watching this film that is unexplainable. To tell you the truth, that day I was all grumpy since the weather was all cloudy, insanely cold outside, and my cousins had left visiting me and my brother, so I thought I'd be bitching about it afterward, but this film changed my mood 180 degrees. I always read how people were critical about Stanley Kubrik's "A Clockwork Orange" or even "The Shining," and look now, they're both appreciated and praised, and I think the same thing will happen to this film, so please be open minded and clever, then watch this awesome film. Since some critics are being crying baby to this film, I give the highest rating, 10/10, THANK YOU MR.SCORSESE.
