Easy come, easy go

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2014)

Cynical, bacchanalian, dirty and mean, but at the same time gorgeous and hilarious... This is how I would describe Wolf of Wall Street! And, in my opinion, Leo definitely deserves Oscar! When you watch this movie, you will understand me! His acting is just amazing, he is a brilliant actor! I've been waited for this film for a long time (I guess since last February) and yesterday I finally went to see it. I was impressed; this movie surpassed all my expectations! Wolf of Wall Street narrates Jordan Belfort's (Leonardo DiCaprio) story: the way he made from being a poor guy who had nothing to becoming a rich stockbroker with no limits and then we see how easily he loses all this due to his dirty life full of parties, sex and drugs. I would say this movie represents this story about American dream: America is a land of opportunities. The same was said by Belfort himself. You can get easily everything you want and next moment you can easily lose it all. And the paradox is that you can have it back as easy as you lost it. When I was watching Wolf of Wall Street I noticed the similarity in story line with Aviator also by M. Scorsese: a young man who does everything to get rich, then when he gets it, he starts leading a decadent life, suffers from different types of obsessions/fears, etc and loses everything. But then he restores his reputation. The point is that Martin Scorsese knows how to "serve" his movies: he shows everything how it is with no exaggerations, with all details – good and bad. Martin knows how to reproduce the epoch where the movie takes place. May be, that's why all his movies are so contradictory and receive reviews of different kind. My general opinion is positive. This movie is really great! Even if you don't like the story, you will definitely love Leo's acting!
