Scorsese has directed many films that have won academy awards but he had never achieved the award for the best director. This changed with the 2006 release of The Departed and Scorsese got what he had ached for so many years. This film was indeed a film that I enjoyed watching. However it also got me thinking what role ethics played in this blockbuster

The Wolf of Wall Street The Wolf of Wall Street is a film which was released on December 25‚ 2013 and managed to make a grand impact on all who ventured to see it. Director Martin Scorsese and writer Jordan Belfort were able to manipulate the story of Belfort’s life through extravagant‚ lavish‚ and relatively vile acts; which‚ in the movie seem to vicariously satisfy many viewers unknowing needs for a crime-comedy movie with a degree of intellectualism and semi-tonal black comedy.

Martin Scorsese is known to be a famous filmmaker and almost as famous for being a New Yorker. Many of his films are based in New York which are most of the time films that are gritty and about the darker side of urban life where he focuses his vision to the city’s neighborhoods‚ especially Lower Manhattan and Little Italy.

This is displayed in an aerial shot of the dessert of Vegas in which Ace states‚ " At that time‚ Vegas was a place where millions of suckers

In the mid 1900’s Western films were at their peak and Saturday afternoons would be spent watching cowboys and Indians battle until the end while watching comfortably from a movie theatre. Knowing this‚ it’s not hard to understand why film makers later on would base plots and characters off of these mystifying films. The Searchers‚ made in 1956 by John Ford‚ was a movie that followed the journey
