what did you learn from this movie anon?
>>61859429Wives are cool with hookers as long as you don't bring them around and are rich
>>61859429legalize kwaylood
>>61859429That Scorsese remade Goodfellas with a jew so naturally it was about white collar crime instead of mafia crime.
>>61859429I found out afterwards that Stratton Oakmont never had an office on Wall Street. They operated out of a strip mall that was like a 2 hour drive away. Jonah Hills character was not a WASP like they say in the movie - he was based on Danny Porush, a jew, who really did marry his cousin. Danny later divorced his cousin and stiffed her on child support.
>>61859429That Scorsese was always a hack
Nothing really, some memorable scenes though.> JUST SCAM PEOPLE TO GET RICH BRO> scammer gets caught because le auditor on boat> Jordan Belfort ends up in a (now super expensive because of covid fucked market) trailer houseWhat the movie doesn't tell you is that Belfort is back to living lavishly and grifting off people again these days, this time through ted talks and his "book".
>>61859429don't be a foolwrap your tool
fuck any one who aint us
>>61859429i'm mad that i missed based Qualuudes and i'll probably never get to experience it
>>61859503Isn't Belfort's restitution capped at $10k per month or something? That means he gets to keep everything as long as he is making that $10k payment
>>61859429>Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not real.
>>61859585This
>>61859429Just watched it for the first time a month ago. apart from two or three memetic scenes its mostly shit t.b.h. Glorifying hedonism & they don't really show the negative consequences of that white collar crime so it boils down to 'cocaine and sluts are le epic'
that americans value nothing in life besides money
>>61859429Read his books if you want the actual story. he is a complete deadbeat pos but it's interesting to read. marty made a total puffpiece with this film and cut out tons of bad stuff>>61859451the mafia was full of jews
>>61859429I can can fuck my cousin
>>61859429Movie in tl;dr>it's all a scam, bro, and everyone on the inside knows it and plays their partBut I found something else very interesting.>watch the movie in cinema with my gf>room filled to the brim with mostly men>after movie ends and everyone leaves, people start talking>"bro this was so fucking cool bro">"yeah bro I wish that was me">"yeah bro he was living the dream">"I would do the same"The movie was about a junkie scammer that was beating his pregnant wife he was cheating on and dumped his previous supportive-but-not-as-hot-ex-wife for - but it's all ok because he was rich.I've asked multiple people for their takes on the movie, and with just 1 exception, every single person praised the guy into high heavens.I've then searched for some directors commentary on this, as clearly he portrayed a doshit subhuman villain, but what were his intentions? Director, when asked about not making any in-your-face comments about the character being a villain said:>I don't want to patronise and insult the audience by stating the obvious, this should be self evidentThis movie showed me, in real life examples, that most people are literal cattle. They just worship money, even if held by a junkie scammer thief wife beater STDs ridden manwhore.
>>61860155Did you really need this movie to realize people generally only care about money and power after their basic needs are met?Not the fact that people murder eachother, slave away for 70 years, literally invade countries for the same reason? You really needed this movie for that discovery?
>>61860541Yeah I was quite young and naive at the time, freshly after a leftist uni, I thought that maybe 30-40% of people are like that, "the uneducated brutes", didn't expect it to be 99% regardless of educational attainment and other bullshit categories like that. The reaction of other people to that movie was eye opening.
>scumfuck movie that is beloved by other scumfucksI don’t know how people like this movie. It’s gross. It’s like an STD in visual form. I unfollowed and blocked someone on X because they said they became an investment banker based on this movie.
>>61859429Never liked this one, but the memes that came out of it are great. Would recommend The Bigly Shorts over it every time, even when it's not a fair comparison.Also, shilling Pi again. Watch Pi (1998). Extremely-peemly /biz/ film + dope jungle soundtrack.
>>61859429I learned what Margot Robbie looks like naked and that I can jack off to it.
>>61860541How did that quote go?>the pleb cattle, when left to their own devices, pose a threat to themselves and everyone around them, as their blind greed and impulsive animalistic instincts rule over every aspect of their livesThe longer I live the more I see it to be true, and the reaction of people to that movie certainly played a part
>>61859429Quit while you're ahead
>>61860155>>61860541>>61860643>YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!! THAT'S HECKING BAD!!!!!!!Spooked as fuck.
>>61860621I learned that the movie was majorly funded with funds stolen from the 1MDB scandal and have vowed to never watch it again. What can you possibly learn from a film and it's actors that gladly accepted hundreds of millions in government corruption that stole from the mouths of its vulnerable population. It's almost sick to me when I realize the people reflecting on how they want to be a shark like leos character and live large like the rich have far more in common with his victims than him.
>>61860662The ends justify the means, but if someone is 100% an absolute parasite, a net negative on humanity for the sheer reason of:>am junkie, drugz feel good>hookers on muh dick - dat feel good too>big boat so I can fit lots of drugz and lots of hoes to fugg>destroyed countless lives just cuz muh dick feel good when high xDDYou can't get any lower than that
>>61860689Have you ever wondered how Hollywood was funded in the first place? Where those people got their money from?
>>61860611Fair enough. Honestly I thought it was cool too - I got the director's intention but to me it was just one big hedonistic selfish orgy, and I love it>>61860662I'm not saying it's bad, I'm the same lolI'm just aware of it is all
>>61860155>This movie showed me, in real life examples, that most people are literal cattle. They just worship money, even if held by a junkie scammer thief wife beater STDs ridden manwhore.Yeah that's why people voted for the Bush administration lol
>>61860155there's actually 2 types of normalfags: failed sociopaths and successful sociopaths. Slave and master morality. The losers worship the alphas because they know they can get raped to death.>inb4 normalfags have empathy dude Wars prove that if you feed the rabble a word salad you can program them into rape murder machines.
>>61860662This. Sociopathmaxx. Fuck, rape, abuse, beat, lie, manipulate, steal, mentally exhaust every golem you see until you buck break him and golemize him. The world is a spook. This is a cheat code, man. I'm feeling rapey today.
>>61860757>votingniggerbrain moment
>>61860772>2 types of normalfags: failed sociopaths and successful sociopathsThis. Vast majority of people "behave themselves" only because of 2 reasons:>the fear of consequences keeps them in check>they were never successful enough to get to a point where there would be no real consequences to their actions, so they could show their true colorsOnce you know this, results of "shocking" psychological studies like the milgram electroshock study or zimbardo prisoners study are dead fucking obvious.
>>61859429crime pays out a lot. like a huge amount. and you can get away with it as long as you don’t get greedy
>>61860155Or maybe those are the kind of people that are attracted to movies like this.Also, most people don't understand movies (myself included tbqh) and take things at face value instead of trying to interpret them and look for deeper meaning to learn something.
>>61860812And after a while and a shit ton of insane copes that chronic impotence turns into a fucking slave morality philosophy. It's hilarious.
>>61860689Movies like this are propaganda, they're not meant to invite self-reflection in those who already identify strongly with the goals and values of its protagonists. And ideally they demoralize those who don't identify with them.
