I'm going to enjoy this film. However, it's the last thing my Grandma needs to see when she knows I work in finance.
I'm just afraid it's going to make Belfort the least bit likeable/sympathetic, because he's not.
Will watch/10
I can see this movie making him a new role model akin to Bateman, Gekko, etc.
I dunno. They were both the first personalities from banking people had seen, and subsequently, traders have been seen many times over, non of which made a huge impression. Further, they were worlds away from what people were used to at that time; now, people are used to this image of a trader stockbroker etc....
Am i over thinking this?
Definitely going to be this decade's Wall St/American Psycho imo.
You don't have to be likeable to be idolized.
Models and bottles... I'll be seeing this
good shit
Eddie, did you have run-ins with Belfort during your time back then? Was he a mega-douche?
I go into a bit in my book. He and I never knocked heads, but I had the unfortunate privilege of working with a few of his crew. Fucking animals. And it takes a lot to shock me.
Do tell
Wow they managed to turn a bad book into what appears to be a very watchable movie.
I wouldn't say you are over thinking it... You bring up valid points, especially the last one.
Definitely looking forward to this movie.
I don't think I've ever seen a bad DiCaprio movie, or Scorsese for that matter. And I like what I'm seeing from Matthew McConnaughey and Jonah Hill in the trailer.
I'll have to read the book sometime before this comes out.
When is it out?
November 14th I think
Damn I was hoping for something earlier than that..looking forward to it though.
My thoughts exactly, can't wait for this to come out.
Leo is killing it right now.
i cant WAIT
Right now? Dude has been killing it for years
He is truly a bum and disgrace to Wall Street in my opinion. If he didnt end up in jail and off the deep end not such a disgrace. But Boiler Room was good and I need to watch every Wall Street movie so count me in. But because he never could cut it and now sells himself to a book etc. is just bad..... There is a saying that if you sell research or a book, it is because your account cannot accumulate enough gains.
The guy in the french collar shirt looks like he could be Bateman 15 years after American Psycho, if he lived that long.
lol what an over exaggeration I bet this guy was probably an awkward nerdy finance guy with a certain aptitude for low cunning that didn't last not nearly long enough.
Sure they probably had extravagant parties but not as cool as it seems here.. still I guess this is the type of hype that sells hah
Look forward to it! Excited for the response of my "non finance" friends :D
Knew they'd make a movie about me
"Which really pissed me off..." Great line
That's where you're wrong. Based on what's in the trailer, I can verify that all that stuff went on. You can't believe the kind of money this guy had in the early to mid 90s and the mountains of blow he turned it into. And he trained his guys that everyone on Planet Earth was a victim just waiting to be abused. We certainly weren't altar boys all the time, but Stratton Oakmont took it to a whole other level.
Where Meyer Blinder was self-aggrandizing (he actually had a throne you approached in his office), he at least wasn't outwardly destructive of the business and he actually was something of an innovator in his time. I'm trying to find the right words to describe Jordan, and I can't. It was like he saw what Meyer built and decided the best way to duplicate it fast was to just make everything a scam from the get go. He hired the absolute dregs of humanity, I'm talking about serious telephone terrorists, and he turned them loose on retirement homes. The midget toss absolutely happened and was a back-alley Wall Street legend for a time. Keep in mind the stuff in the movie is only the stuff he's willing to cop to. I'm sure there's a lot worse shit that happened.
He is pretty much the exact opposite of that. Brokers in the 80s and 90s were mostly frat bros who could sell. Now most of the successful people in finance are nerdy but it was a completely different atmosphere back than. I know a few guys who were brokers in the 90s and they are hyper aggressive and loved selling people and took joy in getting someone to buy stock over the phone, completely different than your average financial advisor working today.
Looks good, Dicaprio and Scorsese always deliver. I hope Dicaprio gets an Oscar one of these days.
I am having a hard figuring out how he made over 100m as a broker in such a short time. I mean he was head of brokerage, what kind of fees does it amount to ? Cuz I don't think his boys worked for free either.
i am in the middle of the book... cant wait for the movie.

I cover a lot of this stuff in the book, too.
As opposed to when he wasn't?
Hate rap music (no class)-love the trailer though.
Was at a hedge fund conference the other week and people were commenting on how Wall Street movie's often pick the least intelligent plot lines to showcase to mainstream America. How many pump & dump movies can they possibly make?
How good is Dicaprio - the Brando of our time?
“You have my money taped to your boobs, technically you do work for me.” - Haha, classic. This movie will be the new "Wall Street", and hopefully Leo will get an oscar.
Surprised there are so many WSO'ers dangling from DiCaprio's nuts.
Hilarious visual notwithstanding, I think he's actually a pretty decent actor though.
Movie does look a bit lame to honest, but I'll probably go see it anyway. Looks like a bunch of folks just frolicking in the cheddar.
Does anybody know what years this film is supposed to depict?
1990s.
Did you see the Great Gatsby?
I'm actually unaware. You have a book? Link?
Patience, grasshopper. The editor assured me today that I'll have it by June 24th. I'll have a link a few days later.
Nothing like a bucket shop
Mandatory viewing...
looks good.
As far as shady tales of excess go, I'm actually much more excited to see American Hustle, whose trailer just dropped. 10 bananas says it will be really fucking good.
