The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street in my opinion is a favored film by Martin Scorsese's. Also one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best starred films he plays the role of Jordan Belfort who is a stock broker from Wall Street in New York. At the age of 22 he finds a job on Wall Street at a firm and meets a man that is a senior broker at the firm named Hanna that teaches him the way of the stockbroker game, this was by talking to clients and getting their money into your own pocket for your own advantages. In 6 months Jordan already was familiar of the crooks and crannies in the firm and how to play the game. Now Jordan lost his job and he found a job in Long Island at a shitty company and shitty workplace called Investor Center and he quickly becomes the apple of Investor Center's eye. He is making them money and fast. At a diner he bumps into his apartment building neighbor named Donnie Azoff who's played by Jonah Hill. He quits his job and works for Jordan they start their own company in a garage w/ a few brokers. He created a company called Stratton Oakmont, Inc. He teaches them how to sell not only to poor people but rich people to start getting real money. They're scamming salesmen who manipulate to get the clients money for themselves. It's a hit and they're off. Money coming out the ass. They get crazy and reckless w/ their money and eventually it all catches up to Jordan and he ends up in federal prison. But that doesn't stop him from doing it in there too. This movie is an example of business. Business can be very clean but its sleazy everyone wants to be rich and rich quickly. Supply, demand, urgency, becomes a necessity and you made a sale. I really love this movie because it's real, it's exactly what happens without being sugar coated.
