The Wolf of Wall Street / int_118bba4	type	NonindicativeTitle
The Wolf of Wall Street / int_118bba4	comment	Non-Indicative Title: To some extent and Lampshaded in the film, but Jordan Belfort only works briefly at Wall Street before the 1987 crash ended his career as a legitimate broker. Stratton Oakmont starts as a penny stock operation, at Long Island, and Jordan exploits the fact that it's even more deregulated than Wall Street to make his fortune.

Jordan himself initially resists this, but after facing the reality that he'd be serving at least 20 years in jail, decides to rat out all of his associates. In the end, Jordan who tries to warn Donnie not to incriminate himself discovers that he had already made a deal with the FBI to rat everyone and Jordan out too.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Set at a minor-league brokerage firm on Long Island that specializes in penny-stock pump-and-dump schemes? Most of the employees foul-mouthed younger single men from modest backgrounds wearing expensive tailored suits who indulge their considerable fortunes on hookers and cocaine at debauched company parties? Motivational speeches by a charismatic asshole who drives a Ferrari? An FBI investigation closing in and turning the main character into an informant? If it sounds a lot like Boiler Room, it should because that film was also inspired by the real-life Stratton Oakmont firm. note The major difference in that Boiler Room has an Audience Surrogate show us the firm from a NaÃ¯ve Newcomer perspective, a conventional approach compared to the full press fly-on-the-wall Villain Protagonist we get here.

The ending, consisting of Jordan Belfort giving a motivational speech to his audience, ends with a shot of the audience starting at Belfort with interest. Word of God dictates that the audience is meant to represent American society as a whole, and that the reason people like Belfort get away relatively easily is because we have the innate desire to have this same wealth and luxury. In other words, we let people like Belfort win because we secretly want the same thing.

As absurdly rich as Jordan becomes, at the end of the day he is never more than a small fry by the standards of the true, big-shot Wall Street sharks. And as powerful as he feels and appears, the FBI isn't impressed by his money.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: Jordan gives lengthy explanations to the camera of how pump-and-dump schemes and money laundering work, something that might have been justifiable in the time frame of when the movie is set but seems unnecessary with the degree of financial literacy in the general public when the movie came out. It's subtly lampshaded when he begins to explain what an initial public offering is, but then just drops it midway through. According to screenwriter Terrence Winter, this was an in-joke since Scorsese didn't understand the stock market terminology too well either and didn't know what an IPO was. Winter, who worked as a paralegal in Wall Street and considered becoming a broker himself knew the scene and terminology well.

Indeed, when Belfort, Donnie and their wives are in a yacht and caught in the middle of a storm, Belfort commands Donnie to go below deck, which is submerged in water and bring the Quaaludes stating, "I will not die sober." The miraculous survival of everyone on the yacht, their rescue by the Italian navy, and the sudden deaths of three people sent to rescue them because a seagull got sucked into their helicopter brings Belfort to an epiphany. He sincerely decides to quit and change his life. For a while, at least.

Of all the people Jordan brings in to help him establish his own firm, he's the only person who manages to understand Jordan's "Sell me this pen" motivation speech. Amid his hot-blooded outbursts of anger, Jordan's father Max is the only one who consistently offers him good and level-headed advice.

Nothing happens. They pop a couple more. Nothing happens. They pop a couple more and do some exercise to work the drugs through their systems, before concluding that the Quaaludes have expired after years in storage. About ninety minutes after his initial dose, Jordan drives down to the local country club for a secret meeting with his private detective over the payphone... only for the Quaaludes to hit all at once in the middle of the call, sending Jordan crashing to the ground, half-paralyzed and completely incoherent - meaning he can't just ask the private detective to send help. He's left to get himself home, crawling out of the building and clumsily driving off in a hurry to stop Donny from making stupid financial deals while in the midst of his own delayed high.

As the movie shows, Belfort's long running senior staff is composed of drug dealers and other lowlifes who would never get access to the education and opportunity to work in Wall Street for real and Belfort trains them to speak professionally and make them more palatable to audience tastes. As his Pet the Dog moment below shows, he provided help to a struggling single mother and empowered her to make money.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: In real life, Jordan Belfort actually met Danny Porush (the man Donnie Azoff is a stand-in for) through Porush's wife, whom he shared the bus with on their daily commute into the city for work, not at a diner. Porush claims that, contrary to what the film depicts, the real life Stratton Oakmont office didn't have any pet animals other than fish nor did the employees ever have dwarf tossing contests. In real life, Jordan followed through on stepping down from Stratton and let his cronies take over (though he managed to exploit a few legal loopholes to act as an advisor and make money from the firm). The real Jordan Belfort never met the FBI agent who was investigating him until he was arrested. Although Rocky Aoki was indicted for insider trading in 1998, his son Steve Aoki claims that Belfort's arrest a year later was unrelated. He thought that the rant scene was hilarious anyway though.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_9053903	type	Ignored Epiphany
The Wolf of Wall Street / int_9053903	comment	Ignored Epiphany: Jordan has multiple chances to change his ways, none of them ever stick. Early on, Jordan expresses remorse over the pain he causes his first wife by cheating on her. His guilt lasts until the very next scene, where he divorces her, and then he's back to his usual philandering self. After Jordan attracts the attention of the FBI, and instigates the issue by trying to bribe Agent Denham, his father urges him to quit while he's ahead and walk away from the company to live off his (already quite impressive) fortune. Jordan relents at first, then mid-way through giving a farewell speech to his employees, switches gears and decides to stay. After almost killing himself, his best friend, and their wives by forcing their ship captain to fly through a hurricane, Jordan is barely saved by an air-rescue. He resolves that this is a sign that he needs to turn around and come clean, but when he finds out his wife is divorcing him, taking half his money, and wants full custody of their daughter, he falls back into his old habits. By the end of the film, Jordan is upset at losing his wife, his company, his friends but cheers up when he sees that he's being sent to a Luxury Prison Suite where he can play tennis, feeling that prison might not be so bad after all and that he's not being really punished. He winds up making a comfortable living as a public speaker.

What's interesting is that, perhaps of all the characters in the film, Teresa is perhaps the least encouraging of Jordan's immoral behavior and life habits... It's just that at the points where she keeps pushing him towards stock brokerage, she has no idea what he's engaging in and is very idealistically thinking that she's pushing him towards fulfilling his potential and following his dreams.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: It is rather brief, but the film does not try to hide the attitudes towards gay people in the 1980s and 1990s in America. While Jordan, Donny, and a couple of the other main characters don't have an issue with the gay butler, they are very much the exception, and once the butler starts testing the patience of some of the investors, they openly call him the f-word openly and with no sense of shame. While it is debatable what exactly Jordan told the cops, they are shown hitting the butler with a billy club, as being homosexual, while no longer a crime in New York by the eighties, was still looked at with scorn and suspicion. Donnie's rather severe reaction to being accused of being gay also highlighted the fact that being accused of being gay in the '80s and '90s often resulted in social mistrust.

The Wolf of Wall Street / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Wolf of Wall Street / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Like Goodfellas, to which it's a Spiritual Successor, the film's ending incorporates an up-tempo cover of a classic song (in this case, the Lemonheads' version of "Mrs. Robinson.") The movie has many shout outs to classic films as is common in Scorsese films. The parade of naked girls coming into the office, complete with double handed whistle is from Citizen Kane where Charlie Kane brings a more modestly dressed entourage into the office of his news staff. Jordan Belfort's mad rush to drive the car under the influence of Quaaludes seems inspired by Vincent Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town and Federico Fellini's Toby Dammit where Kirk Douglas and Terence Stamp are strung out and drive the car despite not being in the right state of mind. "ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US" "Denham's a Boy Scout. He thinks you're fucking Gordon Gekko." During Madden's IPO, Jordan brings up Willy Wonka, the golden ticket and the Oompa Loompas in his rip-roaring speech. "Who? Who? What are you, a fuckin' owl?!" Jordan peers through a fish tank before taking a risk, tries to survive a flooding Cool Ship, and awkwardly wakes up in first class. The bar scene from the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, has very similar dialog to the restaurant scene with McConaughey and DiCaprio. See the two scenes together.

What's interesting is that, perhaps of all the characters in the film, Teresa is perhaps the least encouraging of Jordan's immoral behavior and life habits... It's just that at the points where she keeps pushing him towards stock brokerage, she has no idea what he's engaging in and is very idealistically thinking that she's pushing him towards fulfilling his potential and following his dreams.

He tells the story behind Kimmie Belzer (one of the original 20 brokers and probably most successful woman at the firm) and her hiring, where she asked for a $5,000 advance to pay for her son's tuition. Kimmie tells everyone how Jordan gave her $25,000, because he "believed in her."
