"The Wolf of Wall Street": a financial version of "good guys"

If I choose one of Martin Scorsese’s best movies of the century, I would hesitate between "Closed Island" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", and then choose the latter, because it is more representative of Martin Si Coses's personal style is a fast-paced, tumultuous, biographical, and slightly joking way of narration that has continued since "The Good Guy".

Martin explained the word drunk life and dream of death in a three-hour movie. The first two and a half hours let the audience feel the extravagant desire. When we have experienced what is materialistic and produce a kind of exhaustion and disgust, the movie will let the characters walk in time. Disillusionment. Martin did not make any moral judgments in the movie, but left all judgments to the audience. Whatever we understand, the movie is what.

Of course, Martin Scorsese’s intentions are not limited to showing the fortune and private life of a Wall Street financier. The core scene of the film is in the middle part of the film. Little Li plays Belfort and FBI agent Dehan. M’s yacht dialogue, this scene is just an ordinary pros and cons dialogue scene in the scheduling, but the lines and performances are quite exciting. The two characters tentatively explore each other, like a contest between a witty cat and a clever mouse. Martin did not forget to use Belfort to ridicule the financial giants on Wall Street, and more importantly, the dialogue between them conveyed class differences interestingly, as the working class Deham and the rich class Belfort The relationship is antagonistic but not equal. If it were not for the agent's moral persistence, Belfort would probably easily settle his troubles. Martin made a collision of two values ​​in this scene.

One of the important reasons for Belfort's success is his excellent speaking ability. Every time he speaks to employees, he is full of passion and inflammatory. There is a plot in which Steve Madden, a shoe tycoon, came to Belfort's company to introduce his products to the employees, but was ousted in embarrassment. At this time, Belfort hurriedly came up to find Madden down, and In a few words, the atmosphere was mobilized, and everyone immediately became enthusiastic about Madden's shoes. Then Madden was given the shots. From the beginning, the embarrassment became more natural. The contrast of several shots showed Belfort's personal charm.

can be said that this character is tailor-made for Xiao Li, not only the character itself provides him with a huge space to play, but also because his famous work is "Titanic", so when Belfort is on a yacht and encounters a shipwreck, he will It gives some viewers a sense of chaos in time and space, and has a wonderful intertextuality.

In this movie, Xiao Li Zi dedicated one of his best performances since filming, taking drugs, making love, and giving speeches. Every scene is hand-in-hand, from the fledgling youth at the beginning to the frustration at the end. The quality of the actors, outstandingly supported this three-hour one-man show. However, the actors only added some topicality to the film, and too much attention is a bit distracting. It is still a pure Scorsese movie, and it can even be said to be a masterpiece of Scorsese’s personal style in the 21st century. .

was released at the same time as the "Wolf of Wall Street" and competed for the 86th Oscar at the same time as "American Hoax". In this film, director Russell sacrificed the play in exchange for the full display of the characters, and tried to imitate the style. Coses, although the degree of completion is acceptable, but compared with the "Wolf of Wall Street" shot by Martin Scorsese, it is a bit tricky. This may be one of the reasons why "American Scam" was 0 in Oscar 12 . The movie

shows Martin's skillful scheduling skills. In addition to the iconic Steadicam long lens, the control of the group scenes can also be said to be seamless. The Selma textbook editing makes the movie go smoothly, every flashback and Freeze frames are all examples of learning, which is why I really like Scorsese movies.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" can be regarded as the financial version of "Good Guys". It is generally the framework and routines of gangster movies. It is a story about the rise and failure of gangsters. It only replaces gangsters with stockbrokers. The core has not changed, even the audio-visual language is even better than "Good Guys" and "Lady from Casino". The protagonist is not a bad guy in the traditional sense, but they are all engaged in squeezing bones, in other words, financial tycoons. Not much better than the gangsters, they are more like wolves in sheep's clothing. When the chest-beating song sounded again at the end, I realized that this past episode is just a reincarnation of countless tragedies and comedies.
