Wild

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2014)

To start off, this movie is crazy. Drugs, orgy's, more drugs, more orgy's, partying, strippers, language, incest & basically everything. That being said, it doesn't make it a bad movie at all. It's an incredible movie. The best part about it is that during the 180 minutes of it, you are never bored, not even for a second. Even when something crazy isn't going on, you can't stop watching. Your mind doesn't drift away wondering what time it is or when the movie will be over. I am pleasantly surprised that I never got bored, considering it's lengthy film. Great filmmaking is when you have your audience's attention the entire time. And boy, did this movie do that. The movie has a great ensemble, from Leonardo DiCaprio to Jon Bernthal, from Jonah Hill to Kyle Chandler. All amazing actors. They did an outstanding job, especially Leo. I can't tell you how much I'm rooting for him to get an Oscar for this. His performance is memorable, hilarious & crazy. I loved every second of it. This movie in a whole is just very well made. I've seen quite a few of the movie that have been up for awards this year, and this one has been my favorite so far. The film just shows you a lot of how Wall Street works, which is interesting. They explain a few things throughout the film about it, not much, but enough for you to understand what exactly is happening. It's not a confusing movie, which is nice. Also something interesting is that it's based off a true story. Yes, "based" doesn't mean this is completely accurate to what happened, Hollywood always adds a little extra to it, but if you want to learn more about the true story, I suggest you read elsewhere because I know nothing of it. This is getting tedious, so I will wrap it up here. The highlight of the movie is definitely the acting and the pure insanity of it all. The cinematography, editing, and all that jazz is good. I'm not blown away by it, but it was very good. PLEASE GO WATCH THIS MOVIE! You will NOT be disappointed!
Thank you for reading!
