One of the Best Films of All Time?

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2019)

The Wolf of Wall Street is filmed in a way that would appeal to a younger crowd. It's a new, modern way of making films. The scenes are shorter, things go faster. There's less emotion that way, and more "go go go" vibes. This movie is most similar for me to those vine videos.
That being said, it's also a great all around story. It depicts a man rising the ranks of Wall Street, only to purposefully get entangled into illegal activity. The character makes a killing through this, becomes recognized far and wide, and eventually meets his defeat.
Leo DiCaprio is great as the Wall Street banker. And this is also a great vehicle for Margot Robbie, who is exploding in the movie business now. Jonah Hill is memorable as well.
What makes this movie great is how it jumps from one place to another rather quickly. The parts are not necessarily needed to make the whole, but they are so humorous and fun to watch that the audience does not care. It adds a bit of glamour into the Wall Street business, which is essentially crunching numbers and taking phone calls.
I would definitely say this is one of the greatest movies of the 2000s so far, if not all time? I don't know, but it's a helluva ride.
