to be fair, this was her breakthrough film and she just played an attractive lady who causes our main character to cheat on his wife and later on leave him due to his continued, excessive debauchery. That's pretty much it. She exists in the movie so he can further show off his immorality and because he has something to lose (other than this his money + property). She's not much of a character otherwise. But she is hot. So I think we can forgive Chris on this one. Also, her acting was good but not on the same level as DiCaprio and Hill (although that's not her fault, as I said, she's not given too much to work with).
I watched this movie with my mom because she thought it would be great to watch together. Let's just say she regretted that statement before the movie was halfway through.
Brannon Hautanen I'm sick of people talking about opinions. If one opinion never out ways another why bring up your opinion in the first place? By putting up this list, what are you asking for, exactly? For people to look at it, think nothing of it and move on?
"Chop?" "Yeah chop! We're not going anywhere if there's chop!" "How about I chop your fucking credit card in half? How 'bout that?" *Wife shuts up and calms down* I loved this scene.
Am I the only one who likes casino better than goodfellas? Maybe it's just because I can't stand the sight of Ray Liotta. Always have hated that prick.
Lol the "Ludes" scene was the most hilarious thing I've seen all year. Especially the contrast between what Belfort thinks his drive home was like and was it was really like. Hahaha.
A lot of the stuff the main character did in this movie was just so unbelievable but he had the amount of charisma to pull it off. Like i was just thinking the whole time "that's totally illegal" and yet i was like "well wait i mean... It is right?" i totally enjoyed this movie
I would compare the main character in this movie, even the entire movie, to the character of Alex DeLarge in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, in that in both of them: 1. The main character is doing so many terrible, corrupt things and enjoying every minute they're doing it, yet they carry a certain amount of charm, charisma and even some degree of likeabilty 2. The plots are somewhat similar as well, in that they both have their main anti-hero doing they corrupt business with some hiccups along the way - until it all came crashing down. I think my favourite Scorsese is probably Hugo, it's a beautiful looking movie that just has this euphoric feel to it and even an element of nostalgia.
@@Justice237 lol Just no. Jorden Belfort is an anti-villain where he's definitely doing illegal stuff but he's not outright hurting anyone entirely and making others rich in a relative harmless way. Alex Delarge is a flatout VILLAIN as all he does is harm people in a sadistic evil way that has nothing to do with anything other than but pure malice. Nobody supports Alex or sides with him AT ALL because he just comes off as mean-spirited, unlike Jorden Belfort whose a jolly guy whose positive to everyone around whose doing illegal stuff with style and likable charisma that makes you WANT to side with him from how likable he is from how he's helping people like his employees through his money. Unlike Alex who doesn't help anyone but destroy everyone around him. Alex has no charm at all as all he has is menace and sinister aura that comes off him nonstop from how he mistreats everyone around, you're just engaged by what he's going to do and that's enough for a compelling character. They're NOT the same AT ALL and their plots are NOTHING alike as what you said is a MASSIVE over-simplification of Clockwork Orange as that movie was about how the rehabilitation system can not help out people as much as they claim they do. These two movies are NOTHING alike and they nothing in common other than having two criminals as protagonists and the extent of their illegal actions are MASSIVE different from one another. And Hugo is a great beautiful movie but what you're saying here comparing those two movies is completely misplaced.
I really really loved this movie. I would actually say it is almost tied with Goodfellas for Scorceses best film. What a great film. How in the hell did this get snubbed by the Golden Globes for Best Picture? Wow.....
Shutter Island is really underrated. I love Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Cape Fear, Mean Streets, Casino, Taxi Driver, and Goodfellas also. Raging Bull is my favorite.
I just saw this today and it was SO fucking hilarious and ridiculous, I loved it. At one point I was laughing so much I actually thought I was going to throw up (although I'd been stuffing my face with popcorn for an hour, so that didn't help). The scene where Leo was absolutely fucked up on quaaludes killed me. Him and Jonah Hill need to do more movies together, they have amazing chemistry and play off of each other so well.
Scorceses is a true and best story teller. That narration of the main character in every of his movies is insanely well used, its crazy! But this movie is one of the best ever!
I've been watching your videos a lot lately and can't wait to see you direct a movie. You give a well rounded wealth of pure cinematic depth and love to your reviews! I'm inspired
The King of Comedy is actually my favorite movie of his! I got so invested in the characters and I am such a die hard Jerry Lewis fan. What's amazing about that movie is how, I can also see why people wouldn't like it, it's so fucking awkward! Everything makes you feel incredibly uncomfortable. The use of color and the concept is so great though and it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Favourite Scorsese film? Shutter Island. I liked Wolf of Wall Street but Shutter Island has one scene that still makes my blood chill every time I watch it (no spoilers)
Iron2Man911 I know the scene you mean. As a father of two I could NOT watch that scene again, ever. It was easily the most I have been affected by any fictional film, ever, and I have seen some extreme stuff. If I could unwatch that scene and erase it from my memory, I think I would. Chilling is only the beginning.
I just saw this movie and hands down I think it is one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. As far as Leonardo DiCaprio, he does an extraordinary job acting, as always, and gives the movie the humor and attitude that it deserves.
Are you really making me say which movie is the best between "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas", "The Departed", "Casino"... because I CAN'T CHOOSE!
wow, Mr Stockman, you blew my mind when you said The Departed was your favorite film from him! I remember walking out of the theatre thinking it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen! **I was so surprised only because not only do I love your presentations (you're by far my favorite critic) but also I tend to agree with you on everything almost. So maybe I'll have to see The Departed again. it's been a while and my tastes do change. keep up the excellent work, and thanks for your awesome reviews! -Kevin
The quaalude scene made me laugh so hard I almost stopped breathing. That scene is pure perfection. Leonardo DiCaprio should win an Oscar just for that performance.
Shutter Island! How is no one saying that?! One of my favourite films of all time, pure amazingness. Sucks here in Australia I have to wait until January 23rd to see this!
UR BONED because it got a lot of mixed reviews by the critics. It should be praised in the exact same was as other Scorsese masterpieces like Goodfellas and The Departed, hence misunderstood.
Okay. I have a question here. I'd prefer the answer from someone who loved the movie, like me and most other people. Okay, here goes. So, a lot of critics slammed this movie for glorifying lifestyles, etc. But we all know this movie is awesome aside from our own opinions. We know that most consider this an awesome movie. We know from sites like Imdb(8.2) and youtube reviews from Stuckmann, Jahns or Schmoes. But like I said, most critics slammed it. Do you think Scorsese even knows that this movie is excellent?? Cuz RT has this at only 75% which says that it hasn't received great reviews from most critics. My point is how does he know he made a fantastic movie??? Pretty sure he doesn't log on to Imdb and check ratings.
awesome420ication I would imagine that he just knows whether the movie is good or not after he's finished making the film, and I hope he realised how amazing this film was
This is a really good review, it sums up everything I thought about the movie really well.(: I love this movie. Looove it. It was the type of movie that you could just enjoy, you didn't get distracted by bad acting or bad camera work or editing. It's amazing.
Leo Dicaprio´s career is stunning at this point. Brilliant performance after the other. And always in quality films, nothing else. He must be almost the only one.
Just finished this film from Netflix and I can't stop thinking the acting in this film is great. Very good! The thing is the parties are so extravagant that it almost overtones the amount of great acting in this film. Other that that I had no complaints with this movie.
Hugo! Hugo is one of my favorite dramas ever. It is amazing to look at. It has a phenomenal cast. I love Chloë Grace Moretz, she is my favorite actress of all time. This movie is all around great. After I watched this movie I immediately re-watched it.
i'm still waiting to see a Leo, DeNiro film directed by Scorsese. it's a necessary project giving the three of their talents and history. maybe a supporting actors role for Joe Pesci? that would be epic.
Great review Chris! Really looking forward to it, Scorsese is definitely my favourite director working today. My Top 5 would have to be: 1. Goodfellas 2. The Aviator 3. Taxi Driver 4. Hugo 5. The Departed, although I think this movie might bump The Departed off.
Don't know how I feel about this one. As a movie I really enjoyed it but by the end it left a bad taste in the mouth. I feel like they could have done more to show the effect his actions had on the people who he was ripping off. At times the comedy element seemed to make light of a man that is an absolute monster and is making money by his story being made into a movie.
***** www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/the-wolf-of-wall-street.php It says here that he is paying back *100%* of his money from the book and the movie to the people he had scam. Of course, we don't know how much truth there is to his word. And more importantly, i don't believe he can ever pay those money back.
I've read interviews with the actors and director about why they chose to focus on Belfort and not his victims, and the response they gave was generally along the lines of "when you are being a terrible person you are so caught up in all the fun you're having that you don't take the time to reflect on your terrible actions".
I remember watching this movie with my mom for the first time, she turned it off within thirty minutes. A week after that I watched it in full and it became one of my favorite movies. Though it isn't in my top ten anymore, I truly, truly love it so much.
Thank YOU! Someone else besides myself thinks (and knows) that this is his best film since Goodfellas. No matter what the Academy, Metacritic, RT, or audience members are saying. This film is a MASTERPIECE.
Jonathan Blaze I like your list but IMO id switch The Aviator and The Departed I absolutely loved The Departed, may even put it #1. I respect your opinion though at least you know some great films.
Jonathan Blaze My Top Ten Scorsese flicks 1) Taxi Driver 2) Goodfellas 3) The Wolf Of Wall Street 4) Mean Streets 5) The Departed 6) Casino 7) Aviator 8) Cape Fear 9)Shutter Island 10) Raging Bull And I'm looking forward to his next film 'Silence'.
10. Hugo 9. Mean Streets 8. The Aviator 7. Casino The masterpieces: 6. The Wolf of Wall Street 5. Raging Bull 4. Taxi Driver 3. The Departed 2. Goodfellas 1. Silence
I remamber as I watched this movie and when it started the gross things, the drugs and all the sex were ok and at some points funny for first hour or so, but after that it just became boring. I get it it was there to show what type of life these people live and I think it did a great job in doing that, but I don't think it need to be 3 hours long movie. The thing I liked about this movie is the 3rd act where thing start to go shout. That is the part of the movie I liked the most. I loved seeing how all the things he has done started to backlash and that was what saved the movie for me. Also 3rd act had the best comedy I kind of had a feeling, a lot of humor was gross out humor and that can work if it's done right (there were few of those as well, as stated previously) but it just felt like the people who wrote were like ok lets throw some gross things in here and hope for it to make people laugh. Idk it was a good movie, I like the first act and 3rd act but I think the middle part could have been shorter and the massage would still be as strong.
This is a close second for my favorite Scorsese film, but my favorite is still Taxi Driver. Taxi Driver really puts you in the environment of New York in the 70s and in the environment that is the mind of Travis Bickle.
Anyone else feel like this movie was grossly overrated? And I say this as a fan of Scorcese. Yes, there were some funny scenes, but what should have been the Wall Street equivalent of Goodfellas turned into what felt like a teen movie about coke and hookers. Boiler Room did this story better, in my opinion.
Went into the theater knowing absolutely nothing about this movie and it was hands down the best time I've ever had at the theater BY FAR. and I watched Interstellar in 70mm film IMAX. Fantastic film, was best picture of the year for me but was sadly overlooked by weirdos who get offended while watching a make-believe medium. Great review!
I normally cannot stand to sit through a long movie without getting restless in my seat. This movie kept me entertained from beginning to end & it didn't seem as long as others are complaining about. I thought it was funny & the acting was on point. A++
I hate bankers. I hate Wallstreet schmucks. This movie got me rooting for those assholes and... FUCK this is such a terrific movie I can't describe it. A+++++++ Di Caprio is indeed a FUCKING actor. A have nothing remotely negative I can say about this movie. I think the new standard length for a serious film should be 3 hours at least. Such a satisfying experience. FTW.
after this review this guy has now become my FAVORITE film critic! He could not have described this film better! And what made the review better is when he said The Departed is his favorite Scorsese film....FUCK YES THAT'S HIS BEST FILM! Great going Chris!
Only now did I realise the movie was supposed to be funny. Honestly, I wish I had stopped watching 15 minutes in when I started being bored. Instead I wasted two hours (which I hear is two thirds???) of a fine day watching it. This movie was very much like pornography in that the plot was just a shallow hollow excuse for nudity. However pornography has the redeeming quality of lasting 25 minutes and being watched on one's own. Absolutelly despicable. This movie made me sympathetic to Al'quaida.
Anyone who says "this movie is just pornography is just too simple minded to realize the excessive nudity in the film is just an accurate representation of that guys real life. In fact, the real Jordan Belfort claims his life was even crazier.
My brain is small? You're the one who sees boobs in a movie and decides to just blatantly dismiss it as pornography, because you can't comprehend that the nudity in the movie isn't just there to look good, it shows the way this guy actually lived. Yes, believe it or not, sometimes in real life, people get naked! It doesn't just happen in porno, it happens in real life too! Crazy right?
Well then I suppose I don't get why they would want to make a movie about this guy. It was borring as heck, there was no story. To me it seems like they could have made a movie about just any other guy with the same effect. But they chose this guy... why? Because it's a good excuse to have nudity for 3 hours! Plenty of things happen in real life and we don't make movies about it. And it's not the nudity that bothers me here, it's the fact that there is nothing else. No content. And also the line of men waiting in the office to fuck ugly prostitutes, that was too much. And also the panties tease part, that was really idiotic and had no reason to be there. And... oh, lots of other stuff were really unecessary for the movie, and quite distasteful.
The movie is about how this guy built a billion dollar company both legally and illegally, and his pride, drug addiction, and other aspects led to his downward spiral, and apprehension by the FBI. There's your story right there, its not that hard to find. Saying that the movie is just nudity for 3 hours, and has no content is completely absurd. The nudity is there to show the rich and partying lifestyle he lived in real life. What did you want them to do, remove the nudity? Its actually important to the story, for reasons I've already explained.
Gave my friend the Departed for his Christmas gift. We are playing Shipping out to Boston for orchestra and we watched the music video which features scenes from the Departed. Hope he enjoys it and I cant wait to enjoy the Wolf of Wall Street.
Noah Rubin I honor women too but that doesn't mean you can't like this amazing film. Sorry they didn't twist the true story behind this to make the male figure a knight and the female a princess in waiting...
I watched this with a packed Theater, and was surprised that there was no point to the Movie, or any redeeming parts, also that only 3 people gut up and left
Shutter Island, Aviator, Good Fellas, The Departed, Casino - I can't name just one. There's an amazing interview with DiCaprio, Scorsese, Hill & the screenplay writer on the Hollywood Reporter's YT channel. Check it out - so good.
If this enthusiasm leads to an A, which film was ever 100% perfect to receive an A+? Or A++? Or could another film reach a higher verdict when the tonal rhythm and energy pace is so equally intense from start to finish, that it is forgiven for, for instance, little plot holes?

What I got out of this review: Martin Scorsese is a director and Leonardo Dicaprio is an actor
Was looking for this comment ahahah
the words fantastic and amazing
to be fair, this was her breakthrough film and she just played an attractive lady who causes our main character to cheat on his wife and later on leave him due to his continued, excessive debauchery. That's pretty much it. She exists in the movie so he can further show off his immorality and because he has something to lose (other than this his money + property). She's not much of a character otherwise. But she is hot. So I think we can forgive Chris on this one. Also, her acting was good but not on the same level as DiCaprio and Hill (although that's not her fault, as I said, she's not given too much to work with).
I was looking for that comment too! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Yeah, not much content, here... Should also have a warning that the movie's R+++++...
One of the shortest 3 hr movies ever.
No kidding
@@noahverhoff6203 yeah
This and now the Irishman Scorsese just makes long movies fly by
Is that of long? I believed that was 2 hours.
Jero tacu nah it’s 3
“I’m not even exaggerating, this guy is a director”
Yes Chris. He is a director. You indeed are not exaggerating.
I’m not even exaggerating, Chris is a reviewer
i am readin this comment while chris says those words
This movie is worth watching for Margo Robbie alone.
+Leopard95 Margot
Margowe
W-James she's not only hot. She's talented
Yep
I loved her in Not Another Teen Movie *oh it's already been broughten!* [just kidding]
I watched this movie with my mom because she thought it would be great to watch together. Let's just say she regretted that statement before the movie was halfway through.
That's worse than parents taking their little kids to Sausage Party because its animated.
Surprised she didn’t regret within the first 3 min
same
LoL doing cocaine out of someone's ass is totally a normal thing to do on regular basis
i loved Casino but this was the fastest 3 hr movie Ive seen. Leo really is an actor. This and Django unchained are two movies where he really shines.
I agree. Both movies fly by!
+Carl Wilson The Aviator? What's eating Gilbert Grape? Blood Diamond? The Departed? I would say he shined in all of these
He was good but Ive really think hes gotten to be a really well rounded actor of late. Basically im saying he now has more of my attention. :)
+Carl Wilson The Basketball Diaries? This Boy's Life?
I really liked Wolf but I do think it was about 20-25 minutes too long. But for me, 2 1/2 hours is usually my attention span limit in movies
This was probably the best 3 hour movie I've ever watched. Didn't feel like 3 hours at all, it was so good
CarAmeL624
I totally agree. the 3 hrs flew by as if it were a 90 minute movie.
CarAmeL624 I'm just realizing its three hours loool. I watched the Godfather recently I couldn't stop looking at my watch
Lotr
@@fouadibrahim9508 godfather is phenomenal
I agreed with this until I watched endgame this morning
This is by one minute scorsese's longest movie.
The irishman: hold my beer
Hahah
To many peoples hate, this movie is easily one of my favourites movies of all time
Commander Shepard hugo? Lol
I agree
@Jack The Film Fanatic you're not supposed to like him, idiot.
@Jack The Film Fanatic ) this is just dumb.
Yup in my top 10 of all time
dude why are you tucking your hoodie strings in?? let them be free
Departed
Goodfellas
Wolf of Wall Street
Casino
Gangs of New York
+Yuri Lopes I'd put the Aviator in probably one before that
Mean Streets is pretty awesome too
Shutter Island
+Taylor Downs Fucking loved Aviator.
Taxi Driver
I agree my favorites of his are
1. Goodfellas
2. The Wolf of Wall Street
3. Taxi Driver
4. The Departed
5. Raging Bull
The Departed ain't THAT good...
bob bill that's your opinion
Brannon Hautanen
I'm sick of people talking about opinions. If one opinion never out ways another why bring up your opinion in the first place? By putting up this list, what are you asking for, exactly? For people to look at it, think nothing of it and move on?
bob bill yes.
Brannon Hautanen What a pointless waste of time.
How is it funny Chris? Like ha ha funny? Does it amuse you?
The car scene where he thinks he’s got home safe
It is haha funny
Am I a clown to you? How am I funny?
Funny how?
@@derekescalante1355 nothin'. its juts the way you tell a story tommy cmon ...
"Chop?"
"Yeah chop! We're not going anywhere if there's chop!"
"How about I chop your fucking credit card in half? How 'bout that?"
*Wife shuts up and calms down*
I loved this scene.
My favorite Martin Scorsese movie = Goodfellas
damn right! me too
Am I the only one who likes casino better than goodfellas? Maybe it's just because I can't stand the sight of Ray Liotta. Always have hated that prick.
TheFootyCast Well, everyone has their own opinions.
Now go get your fuckin' shinebox
TAH-DAY
Although I have not see all of Scorsese's movies, my list is:
1. Taxi Driver
2. Goodfellas
3. The Departed
4. Wolf of Wall Street
5. Mean Streets
Tyler Appleby a fine list, sir, a fine list indeed.
list of all the Scorsese's I've seen! (except for the wolf of wall street)
I'm sorry but Raging Bull needs to be on that list.
The Aviator should be on this list.
Frankie Gino never seen it, on my list of shame
The best Scorsese film is without a doubt Taxi Driver.
Damn straight dude. Damn straight.
Agreed.
The Departed
Goodfellas
Edit: actually no, taxi driver is his best
Nope it's goodfellas
"He is a director" ; "That guy is an actor.". AMAZING review, Chris.
haha
my favorite Scorsese movie is Goodfellas..man, what a movie! In fact, it's almost impossible to choose. Taxi Driver, Raging Bull..
Yeah, I like Casino as well, but for me Goodfellas is way better
@@Murilo5150 Goodfellas is way worse than Casino. The characters are unlikeable and the story goes nowhere
Taxi driver is by far my favorite. One of the best movies I've ever seen and my second favorite movie of all time.

UR BONED because it got a lot of mixed reviews by the critics. It should be praised in the exact same was as other Scorsese masterpieces like Goodfellas and The Departed, hence misunderstood.
I know, I meant more so that I dont understand how anyone could not like it haha
UR BONED because there stupid.
Okay. I have a question here. I'd prefer the answer from someone who loved the movie, like me and most other people. Okay, here goes. So, a lot of critics slammed this movie for glorifying lifestyles, etc. But we all know this movie is awesome aside from our own opinions. We know that most consider this an awesome movie. We know from sites like Imdb(8.2) and youtube reviews from Stuckmann, Jahns or Schmoes. But like I said, most critics slammed it. Do you think Scorsese even knows that this movie is excellent?? Cuz RT has this at only 75% which says that it hasn't received great reviews from most critics. My point is how does he know he made a fantastic movie??? Pretty sure he doesn't log on to Imdb and check ratings.
awesome420ication I would imagine that he just knows whether the movie is good or not after he's finished making the film, and I hope he realised how amazing this film was
awesome420ication Well it got OSCAR nomminations for EVERY major catrgory. Besides who gives a shit about critics.
I saw this with my mum.....................AWKWARD..............
The Departed is my favourite Scorsese film!
The Departed, and Shutter Island
yes yes yes yes yes
im seeing a pattern in these picks...lmao they're my favourites as well plus aviator
This is a really good review, it sums up everything I thought about the movie really well.(: I love this movie. Looove it. It was the type of movie that you could just enjoy, you didn't get distracted by bad acting or bad camera work or editing. It's amazing.
I still think Shutter Island is SO underrated
Police: Did you drive your car last night?
Jordan: Yes but everything was fine.
*sees his completely wrecked car*
Ouuuuuuuuuhhh
Fucking love The Departed. Watch it every month.
same at least every two months
That scene you're thinking about was improvised by Dicaprio btw, they kept on rolling when he fell down the stairs.
Leo Dicaprio´s career is stunning at this point. Brilliant performance after the other. And always in quality films, nothing else. He must be almost the only one.
This movie is an A+
Easy.

Just finished this film from Netflix and I can't stop thinking the acting in this film is great. Very good! The thing is the parties are so extravagant that it almost overtones the amount of great acting in this film. Other that that I had no complaints with this movie.
My favourite Martin Scorsese movie is Raging Bull. Such an amazing
Movie with spectacular performances. Robert de Niro, just wow!
Hugo! Hugo is one of my favorite dramas ever. It is amazing to look at. It has a phenomenal cast. I love Chloë Grace Moretz, she is my favorite actress of all time. This movie is all around great. After I watched this movie I immediately re-watched it.
Cop siting in a New York City subway scene was absolutly brilliant !
Chris, please try to review Spike Jonze's Her before your Top 10 video. It wouldn't seem like a complete list without it.
i'm still waiting to see a Leo, DeNiro film directed by Scorsese. it's a necessary project giving the three of their talents and history. maybe a supporting actors role for Joe Pesci? that would be epic.
@@leomount9037 Leo probably would have been in the Irishman if he wasn't already working with Quentin Tarantino in Once upon a time in Hollywood.
They’re working together next year in Killers Of The Flower Moon.
If you saw Internal Affairs, then you saw The Departed, you will conclude Scorsese is the master of crime films
Awesome Review Chris. This movie was so good. I agree I got a headache because I laughed so much! Martin is a genius.
I so want to see this because I am dying to see this good review I can't wait to see this
Great review Chris! Really looking forward to it, Scorsese is definitely my favourite director working today. My Top 5 would have to be: 1. Goodfellas 2. The Aviator 3. Taxi Driver 4. Hugo 5. The Departed, although I think this movie might bump The Departed off.
Between Goodfellas, Wolf Of Wall St or The Departed
There isn't any comments on this...weird, great review again man, although you need to review Gladiator! Now stuckmaNn!
Don't know how I feel about this one. As a movie I really enjoyed it but by the end it left a bad taste in the mouth. I feel like they could have done more to show the effect his actions had on the people who he was ripping off. At times the comedy element seemed to make light of a man that is an absolute monster and is making money by his story being made into a movie.
***** SPOILER: At the end he has to pay back approximately 200m back to clients he ripped off. To this day he hasn't paid it back
***** www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/the-wolf-of-wall-street.php
It says here that he is paying back *100%* of his money from the book and the movie to the people he had scam. Of course, we don't know how much truth there is to his word. And more importantly, i don't believe he can ever pay those money back.
I've read interviews with the actors and director about why they chose to focus on Belfort and not his victims, and the response they gave was generally along the lines of "when you are being a terrible person you are so caught up in all the fun you're having that you don't take the time to reflect on your terrible actions".
I remember watching this movie with my mom for the first time, she turned it off within thirty minutes. A week after that I watched it in full and it became one of my favorite movies. Though it isn't in my top ten anymore, I truly, truly love it so much.
Taxi Driver is amazing
Definitely Taxi Driver. Which is actually probably my favorite movie ever made. Would love to see a review of it some day!
Amazing Film, Best Scorsese movie since 'Goodfellas'. (In my opinion.)

2. The Aviator

I remamber as I watched this movie and when it started the gross things, the drugs and all the sex were ok and at some points funny for first hour or so, but after that it just became boring. I get it it was there to show what type of life these people live and I think it did a great job in doing that, but I don't think it need to be 3 hours long movie. The thing I liked about this movie is the 3rd act where thing start to go shout. That is the part of the movie I liked the most. I loved seeing how all the things he has done started to backlash and that was what saved the movie for me. Also 3rd act had the best comedy I kind of had a feeling, a lot of humor was gross out humor and that can work if it's done right (there were few of those as well, as stated previously) but it just felt like the people who wrote were like ok lets throw some gross things in here and hope for it to make people laugh. Idk it was a good movie, I like the first act and 3rd act but I think the middle part could have been shorter and the massage would still be as strong.
This is a close second for my favorite Scorsese film, but my favorite is still Taxi Driver. Taxi Driver really puts you in the environment of New York in the 70s and in the environment that is the mind of Travis Bickle.
As far as Scorsese's, The Departed. But for DiCaprio, It's The Wolf of Wall Street.
My 5 favorite Scorsese films are (haven't seen Wolf of Wall Street yet)
1. Goodfellas
2. The Departed
3. Taxi Driver
4. Raging Bull
5. Cape Fear
Shit, you look at somebody's filmography and see those movies listed together, you know that person has to be a fucking genius.
Anyone else feel like this movie was grossly overrated? And I say this as a fan of Scorcese. Yes, there were some funny scenes, but what should have been the Wall Street equivalent of Goodfellas turned into what felt like a teen movie about coke and hookers. Boiler Room did this story better, in my opinion.
probably. Not me though. Every good movie has people who dislike it(and there's nothing wrong with that). You will probably get your crowd.
one of the best movies EVER, ya'll lack taste imo
No
2013 had good films, but this was the best of the year.
No
Went into the theater knowing absolutely nothing about this movie and it was hands down the best time I've ever had at the theater BY FAR. and I watched Interstellar in 70mm film IMAX. Fantastic film, was best picture of the year for me but was sadly overlooked by weirdos who get offended while watching a make-believe medium. Great review!
Martin Scorsese + Leonardo DiCaprio = Classic
This isn’t a movie. THIS is an experience.
Looking forward to your worst films of the year. I suspect Movie 43 and The Purge is going to be on that list. They're definitely on mine..
Oh The Purge, I was trying hard to forget that movie haha. So bad
Movie 43 is on my best list, hilarious movie
I normally cannot stand to sit through a long movie without getting restless in my seat. This movie kept me entertained from beginning to end & it didn't seem as long as others are complaining about. I thought it was funny & the acting was on point. A++
I hate bankers. I hate Wallstreet schmucks. This movie got me rooting for those assholes and... FUCK this is such a terrific movie I can't describe it. A+++++++ Di Caprio is indeed a FUCKING actor. A have nothing remotely negative I can say about this movie. I think the new standard length for a serious film should be 3 hours at least. Such a satisfying experience. FTW.
after this review this guy has now become my FAVORITE film critic! He could not have described this film better! And what made the review better is when he said The Departed is his favorite Scorsese film....FUCK YES THAT'S HIS BEST FILM!
Great going Chris!
Gonna watch this because it's Jack and Harley Quinn! XD
TheSimcraftFixion ugh...
"Scorcese is a director". "Leonardo is an actor". Very insightful stuff Chris haha. I kid, of course. Great review, can't wait to see the movie!
Goodfellas & The Departed
My favourites are
1. The Wolf of Wall Street
2. The Irishman
3. Goodfellas
4. Taxi Driver
5. Casino
Only now did I realise the movie was supposed to be funny. Honestly, I wish I had stopped watching 15 minutes in when I started being bored. Instead I wasted two hours (which I hear is two thirds???) of a fine day watching it. This movie was very much like pornography in that the plot was just a shallow hollow excuse for nudity. However pornography has the redeeming quality of lasting 25 minutes and being watched on one's own.
Absolutelly despicable. This movie made me sympathetic to Al'quaida.
Anyone who says "this movie is just pornography is just too simple minded to realize the excessive nudity in the film is just an accurate representation of that guys real life. In fact, the real Jordan Belfort claims his life was even crazier.
Your brain must be the size of a newt.
My brain is small? You're the one who sees boobs in a movie and decides to just blatantly dismiss it as pornography, because you can't comprehend that the nudity in the movie isn't just there to look good, it shows the way this guy actually lived. Yes, believe it or not, sometimes in real life, people get naked! It doesn't just happen in porno, it happens in real life too! Crazy right?
Well then I suppose I don't get why they would want to make a movie about this guy. It was borring as heck, there was no story. To me it seems like they could have made a movie about just any other guy with the same effect.
But they chose this guy... why? Because it's a good excuse to have nudity for 3 hours!
Plenty of things happen in real life and we don't make movies about it.
And it's not the nudity that bothers me here, it's the fact that there is nothing else. No content. And also the line of men waiting in the office to fuck ugly prostitutes, that was too much. And also the panties tease part, that was really idiotic and had no reason to be there. And... oh, lots of other stuff were really unecessary for the movie, and quite distasteful.
The movie is about how this guy built a billion dollar company both legally and illegally, and his pride, drug addiction, and other aspects led to his downward spiral, and apprehension by the FBI. There's your story right there, its not that hard to find. Saying that the movie is just nudity for 3 hours, and has no content is completely absurd. The nudity is there to show the rich and partying lifestyle he lived in real life. What did you want them to do, remove the nudity? Its actually important to the story, for reasons I've already explained.
Gave my friend the Departed for his Christmas gift. We are playing Shipping out to Boston for orchestra and we watched the music video which features scenes from the Departed. Hope he enjoys it and I cant wait to enjoy the Wolf of Wall Street.
I couldn't stand how disgusting this movie was, but I guess that was the purpose
Are you a guy or a bitch
I'm a man, I honor women.
Noah Rubin Yes, that was the purpose.. and the movies accomplished that with perfection.
Noah Rubin I honor women too but that doesn't mean you can't like this amazing film. Sorry they didn't twist the true story behind this to make the male figure a knight and the female a princess in waiting...
Which is why I acknowledged the purpose of the movie.. what point are you trying to make?
1. Shutter Island
2. Goodfellas
3. Taxi Driver
4. Wolf Of Wall Street
Mine was the departed.. Now it I the wolf if Wall Street
Martin Scorsese films:
1.taxi driver
2. Goodfellas
3. Raging bull
4. The departed
5. Casino
I watched this with a packed Theater, and was surprised that there was no point to the Movie, or any redeeming parts, also that only 3 people gut up and left
You are obviously not a fan of Black Comedies.
mrthatguyam Or good movies.
I wish I knew it was a Black Comedy and I would have skipped it
The point is being satisfied with your own life.
mrthatguyam I loved Killer Joe, there's nothing comic about real life monsters.
Shutter Island, Aviator, Good Fellas, The Departed, Casino - I can't name just one. There's an amazing interview with DiCaprio, Scorsese, Hill & the screenplay writer on the Hollywood Reporter's YT channel. Check it out - so good.
Goodfellas without a doubt
If this enthusiasm leads to an A, which film was ever 100% perfect to receive an A+? Or A++? Or could another film reach a higher verdict when the tonal rhythm and energy pace is so equally intense from start to finish, that it is forgiven for, for instance, little plot holes?
