I consider it the best film of the 21st Century to date.

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2014)

A thousand years from now, when historians study the fall of the American empire, they will watch this tale of sex, drugs, money, power, corruption, greed... and will laugh their asses off. The movie is about indulging excess, and it's an indulging excess itself. I mean, a three-hour comedy? Are you kidding me? Who else can pull this off? This is a master, Martin Scorsese, at the top of his form. DiCaprio's impeccable comedic timing in this film cements him as one of the greatest actors of this generation (to me, comedy is far, far harder to do than drama. It's harder to make people laugh than you think). And don't get me wrong, this is a film of horrible people doing horrible things, and most people will be offended how this movie turns horrible things into laughs. That doesn't take away that it's a masterpiece.
