Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street quotes help reveal the darkly comic crime epic that tells the true story of stockbroker Jordan Belfort’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) rise to power and fall from grace. While the movie opened to positive reviews, it was criticized by some viewers who felt it glamorized Belfort’s white-collar criminal lifestyle. The film’s sense of humor and accurate depiction of Wall Street antics do make that lifestyle look fun, but it all becomes too much. That’s the message – a life of excess, as the name would suggest, is too much to handle.
