The Ultimate Rich People Simulator

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2014)

Wolf of Wall street was not only easily one of the best films of the year but an accomplish in cinema also. Here's why. Leonardo Dicaprio, one of the most underrated actor in our generation fails yet again to win an Oscar who happens to deliver one of the strongest performances in his entire career. Not once during this film the audience should consider recognising Dicaprio but his convincing character (Jordan Belfort). His performance was intense and impacting, along with Jonah hills improving attempts. The direction of this film was memorising frame buy frame, not one scene was lazy or tedious despite its outrageous runtime, the film successfully sustains focus and confidence. The editing was extraordinary and the films script holds pure brilliance. The film explores the lives of beyond rich stock brokers in wall street during the 80's and their consequences when their obsessions get out of hand this films plot is limited but surprisingly intriguing. Now because this film is directed so magnificently well, I had literally transported myself into the skin of Jordan Belfort and when the film had ended I returned back to my average home feeling the need to blend into the environment of not being rich. The only down side was there were a few unresolved sub plots and not enough character development for the side characters, which made me feel that Jordan Belfort was the absolute centre of attention which is fine but this resulted into the other characters to look like they're worth jack sh*t.
