This year has been an interesting one for Leonardo DiCaprio, first with “The Great Gatsby”(the first film in the history of TheLifeStyleElite.com to ever make it on our “Must See Film” list in less the 7 days), and now he finishes the year off with his fifth collaboration with Martin Scorsese “The Wolf Of Wall Street.” Their collaboration is based on a book of the same title in which written by Jordan Belfort himself. Belfort was a New York stockbroker, who refused to cooperate in a large securities fraud case that included mob infiltration into Wall Street, and the corporate banking world.  The film opens with a strong lion walking through an office we soon after find out it is an ad for Belfort’s company Stratton Oakmont. This is the first and only real quit moment in the film; after this, the chaos begins, are immediately see the crazy sex, drug-induced lifestyle. Then you are offered a glimpse into his past, and how he became the man, he is in front of us. With its breaking of the fourth wall, it allows the audience to have a more intimate relationship with him and helps us understand what is going through his head as all the comical mayhem unfolding.

At the beginning of his career, Belfort, is a seemingly upstanding businessman, with since of right, and wrong, just wanting to make an honest living for him and his wife. One his first day he impresses his boss, Mark Hanna, (played by Matthew McConaughey) who takes a liking to the very naive Belfort and give him the advice he will live by throughout his financial career. (which is also the advice that will eventually lead to his downfall) He tells Belfort that the key to success was masturbation, cocaine, and hookers, in addition to making your customers reinvest their winnings so you can collect the commissions. Above all else do cocaine to keep you level headed because in this business you don’t want to implode. He takes this advice to heart and begins his crazy drug induced rise to riches. Unfortunately the newly married Belford’s riches is short lived with fall of the stock market in the early 1980s which leaves him penniless and forced to make a restart.

This later leads him to answer an ad in the newspaper (with the help of his wife) looking for stock brokers. He answers the ad, only to find out that it is apparent that it is far from his old wall street days, and has reservations about taking this job as there is not much money in them. When he finds that unlike his pervious job that only offered him 10% compensation; sell penny stocks offers him a 50% comment. Within his first few hours, he makes $5,000, and this begins his rise back to riches he so longed for as a child. He meets Donnie Azoff, not soon after at a dinner, and he begins to start working for him.( A scene made famous by the trailer) Soon after Azoff becomes his business partner, and they start “Stratton Oakmont.” This begins with their rise to major fortune, and the film’s dark sense of humor starts to take off.

It is at this point he assembles a team of hand-picked salesmen, none of them are professionally trained, but that does not stop Belfort from molding them in his imagine, by writing a script, and having them recite it to everyone they call. By doing this the money pours in, making Belfort, and Azoff wealthier than either of them could ever imagine. At this point, the drug use becomes increasingly important part of Belfort’s life, and much to the viewing audiences pleasure makes even more amusing moments to enjoy.

They are starting to make so much money that they move to a bigger space, and even throw office parties including one infamous office party involving little people. These parties make for great comedy and offer enough nudity to almost warrant an NC-17 rating. With the parties, money is flowing, and Belfort’s ever wondering eye things at home start to change.

He meets Naomi Nadine, a model who comes to his house for a party she is so attractive that Azoff high on drugs starts masturbating in front of everyone. This, of course, starts a fight between, Azoff, and his “wife” with plenty of laughs for the audience. Shortly after meeting her, Belfort falls in love, and marry her. With his new wife, hs life seemingly becomes better, and his business began to become even more profitable. The drug use grows along with his profits which in turn leads to more comedic moments.

Shortly afterward Belfort is interviewed by Forbes, and what seemingly comes across as a good interview, ends up as the beginning of the end for him, and his company. As this Forbes article entitled “The Wolf Of Wall Street’ is what eventually gets the FBI to investigate him, and bring him down.

Leonardo’s performance as Belfort is quite amazing, and his comedic sense of timing is quick impeccable.(giving the fact that most of the roles he has taken over the years are rather serious ones) What makes Jordan’s story different, and compelling is the honesty he brings to his story. Though there are multiple references the film ‘Wall Street, it is clear that Belfort’s actual life was wilder than any Hollywood screenplay writer could ever dream up.

Verdict: See it now and laugh at the unexpected comedy of the year.
