Not as good as it's hyped up to be

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2020)

I get it that the creators of this film are trying to portray disgraced stockbroker Jordan Belfort's unabated, untethered debauchery, but I felt there did need to be some balance.
Maybe a character with some moral compass?
Or what about a few scenes portraying the investors who Belfort ripped off?
Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine did this better by telling the wife's story, and her encounter with her sister's angry ex husband, who was financially ruined by a Belfort-like investment character.
I just fear that some viewers will watch Wolf of Wall Street and think that Belfort didn't do too badly from his practices, apart from a short stint in jail. He had a fun time and made a lot of money. They will laugh at his drug fuelled antics.
There was one speech Belfort makes to his workers where he says something like, "this is America" and that making a lot of money is why they are here. It's a strong message - asking the audience, are these really our values? But my guess is that the message would have gone over most viewers' heads.
I was also appalled at the depiction of women throughout the film. They're disembodied bodies. Sure, Belfort's strippers and hookers may very well have been like that.
But I just found it degrading, and always from the male point of view. And why was Margot Robbie so nude all the time when Leonardo Di Caprio was dressed or seen from behind?
And again, there was no balance - what about a scene in how the women involved felt?
I really hope most people who see this film see how appalling Belfort is, but I'm not convinced.
