growing to be much more than an excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2014)

Having been in successful circulation for just over a month, it surely looks like 'The Wolf of Wall Street' will grow much bigger than being just an excellent film.
It's about the first years of the 21st century, an era when the financial responsible people behaved themselves utterly irresponsible. Thus causing severe financial damage, that had to be paid for with taxpayer's money. Generating in its turn a severe government cost-cutting, that hit the poor & less-gifted among us in the first place. This rude betrayal of public confidence has sowed considerable mistrust, sharpening appropriate laws considerably. And will complicate honest business for a long time to come.
The financial disaster from 2008 will probably be remembered in 2114, just like we remember us the Wall Street crash of 1929.

Eisenstein's 'Aleksadr Nevski' (1938) symbolizes Adolf Hitler's threat to Communist Russia. Antonoini's 'Blow Up' (1966) symbolizes the Swinging Sixties in London. I expect that 'the Wolf of Wall street' will in the same way symbolize the financial disaster from 2008.
