Like the genuine bine of what perfection looks like in film. And honestly the greatest comedy/drama I've seen. Scorcese hits all the marks again with this movie. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect cast. If it were up to me, I'd nominate a lot of people in the cast for an Oscar in this film, because the performances were like you've never seen. DiCaprio, Hill, Robbie, and Chandler were amazing.
Going into this I had my doubts about Jonah Hill because I'm used to seeing him in these comedic roles and I didn't think that he'd fit in well in Scorcese's movie next to people like DiCaprio. Going out, I was thinking Scorcese has got his new Pachino, just like DiCaprio is his De Niro, because he was honestly was the second best part of this entire movie (Obviously Leo was #1). I will NEVER underestimate his acting skills agian. In fact, Hill should take on more roles like this, cause he's amazing in them.
Look, as a biographical movie based off the real life events of a scumbag, I thought it was gonna be boring. This movie NEVER failed to catch my attention. I had my eyes GLUED to the screen. Everything from the screenplay, the acting, the directing was just captivating. It was supposedly 3 hours long, but I felt like I was sitting in my seat for about one hour because I couldn't feel any tinge of drag. Even from the get go at the start I was intrigued. Just jumped right into it. This movie didn't hold back any punches. As a comedy it hit EVERYTHING. I lost my near in so many times. I don't know exactly what scenes are meant for the laughs, but I was laughing a lot. So the humor is A+. As a drama, I felt the tension, due in part to amazing acting and amazing script.
So many people complain about the excessive nudity, crude nature, and language in his film, but geez. It's R rated for a reason people! Don't get too much on your high horse for it.
The one thing that I hate about this movie was the after effect of it on the real world. Jordan Belford, the guy who this movie is based off on, gets more attention for being a complete jackass and for his past criminal deeds of tricking a lot of people into going broke. It doesn't sit well with me that he gets a positive end from it. But that's just me. He deserves a whole lot worse for his past abuses.
This has gotta be one of my favorites movies of all time. And I'mma be sticking my neck out on a line, but this is one of Scorcese's best movies ever. It just is to me.
10/10. Utter perfection!
