Scorsese' Funniest movie ever and the best one of 2013

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2016)

I Have Loved every Scorsese-DiCaprio collaboration and while it definitely doesn't live up to The Departed and Gangs of New York it's is still and incredible laugh riot throughout with amazing direction and writing. DiCaprio recently won the Oscar for his role in the Revenant and to be honest he should have one for this movie instead as he gives an absolutely amazing performance as Jordan Belford who in reality is a piece of sh*t but he is a very entertaining character and steals the entire movie. Jonah Hill also gives the performance of his career with Donnie Azoff. The Wolf of Wall Street is also very entertaining which is surprising for a movie like this, but it really is particularly when Belford is addressing his employees and it's really quite inspiring and proves he does have some humanity to him. Another very good Scorsese film, Casino while fantastic relied far to much on narration to tell a story but The Wolf of Wall Street doesn't have that problem DiCaprio addressed the audience and it helped them enjoy the movie even more as it put them in the situation. Like I said this movie is absolutely hilarious for example the drug sequence featuring DiCaprio and Hill will leave you on the ground struggling the breath but it isn't all laughs and giggles this movie definitely has its dark moments when near the end of the film his wife (played extremely well by Margot Robbie) asks for a divorce and Jordan loses it and beats her then starts taking drugs leading to his daughter being injured. It's admirable that Scorsese chose not to ignore this, Belford was not a good person and this scene highlights that. With a movie that is 3 hours long it is perfectly paced very fast with just enough moment for you to breathe in between. Scorsese has outdone himself again and created in my opinion the best movie of 2013 and leaves me really wanting to see more of DiCaprio and Scorsese collaborations.
