DeCaprio and Jonah Hill are brilliant -- our nation through the prism of greed

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2014)

Where did the three hours go? It was a very long film which I utterly LOVED. The time flew by. The performances were riveting and dazzling. Leonardo DiCaprio proves over and over again to me just how superb an actor he is. I believe he has not gotten the recognition he deserves. Glad he received the Golden Globe and hope he receives the Academy Award. He is probably among difficult competition but he surely will be in contention. The foreign press gave him the Globe for best actor in a comedy. I was surprised about the comedy part but after seeing the film, my sides hurt from laughing so much. Does it glorify Wall Street? NOT from my perspective. I think it makes fun of Wall Street by its never- ending Roman orgy like spectacle. If one is offended by bad language, tons of sex, tons of nudity and drugs galore than this is, perhaps, not the film for you. I,however, a constant critic of Wall Street, thought this film indicts it like no other has and by the way Margot Robbie is drop dead gorgeous!
I do not know, however, how either the actors or the real life perpetrators of this Roman orgy investment insanity came out alive.
Incredible entertainment that says something as only Martin Scorsese can about the nature of our nation. It is one of his best!
