Why I walked out on "Wolf of Wall Street"

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2014)

I love Scorsese's films. Sure his films are violent, male oriented, but beautiful filmmaking. Yet I began to be bothered in "The Departed" by his repeated use of the f-word in the script. It was distracting from a great story, great acting. But "Wolf" was something else. An hour of relentless f-wording and brutal sexist behavior toward women was enough for me. I walked out. Mr. Scorsese you are starting (if not already) losing some of your best admirers by this. To me it reflects a screenwriter who thinks he needs to use explicit language to make a film about a bad guy interesting to audiences. Might I suggest you get your screenwriters together in one room and watch the entire series of "Breaking Bad" to see how to write a great script. No profanity. No sexist drivel. Just creative language for a great actor to speak and to build his bad ass character as someone we'll never forget.
