True Story

The Wolf of Wall Street is basically about the American Dream on steroids.  Director Martin Scorsese absolutely nailed the opportunity to share the successful and true story of Jordan "The Wolf" Belfort. Through determination, and any means to become rich, a young Belfort realizes stock manipulation of penny stocks  yields the greatest returns in the investment industry. Ultimately, Belfort built an empire based off the simple concept and attracts attention of everyone, including the F.B.I. . The genius that entailed this real world story didn't hault there. Martin knew a a film of this magnitude needed a more than average A-list actor.Someone who wouldn't just repeat lines to a camera. So, he did what any credible director would do and handed the leading roll over to, the very successful and talented, Leonardo DiCaprio. To this day, I have never been dissatisfied with any of DiCaprio's roles, so you could say he had slight hand in my initial decision to watch the film. Belfort's outrageous success demands respectsafter the successful growth of his Wall Street powerhouse though a golden idea and a simple, but uncommon, determination. Throughout the film, DiCaprio's portrayed motivational speeches command your attention with his body language and energy. Essentially, it's a remarkably true story Hollywood could not conjure up at a round table  with events that seem almost too ludicrous. From crimes committed to the carrier explosion, it was absolutely a true story.
