The Wolf of Wall Street is a black comedy movie directed by Martin Scorsese, based on a true story of a man who makes millions. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, a penny stockbroker who wants to make a lot of money. He started a company, Strafford Oakmont. He starts small and starts ripping people off because of the way he trains people. He makes it to Wall Street, where the biggest stock market deals happen. They start to get a lot of attention because of how quick their success is. With fame and money come drugs. Belfort does a lot of cocaine to stay on the edge of things and keep up with his competition. They throw a bunch of parties with their staff with all their money they are making. He makes it onto Forbes magazine, and that’s how the feds find out about him. He tries to cover up his scams and make it not look so obvious for the feds, but starts to take the right approach and moves his money to a European bank. The feds find out about him and he has to make a decision if he wants to retire from his company and go to jail, and of course, because he’s insane, he keeps the company going and it goes under.
