REVIEWED

 This was a replay of the movie as I need to absorb whats in it the 2nd time as the movie is after all about Trading. Its based on the book by Jordan Belfort whom LD Carpio played. The real person JB who appeared very briefly at the end of the movie looks nothing like LDC. And I dont think the character was played exactly to the JB's mannerism. But like M Fassbender who played Steve Jobs, but looks nothing like him, was also able to carry the movie well.

Viewing this for the 2nd time, in Blu Ray, give the Thumbs up emoticon above. I dont think I like it at the first viewing. And this is a long movie of just 1min less than 3 hours. Mostly comedic the movie is fast paced with many tried but good camera techniques. And it is narrated also so it makes story telling very easy to understand. 

This version was not censored, so now I understand why some people term this movie close to being a porno movie. There are adequate number of scenes where we are feasted with bare naked ladies (and men too). If you are dying to see Margie Robbie naked, look no further, this shows her in full frontal. Lots of LDC's butts shots too.

Some of the parts are really funny for me. One particular scene was at the Club house. Directed by veteran and acclaimed director Martin Scorsee thats why its good.

Why I was interested was how Trading Brokers earn their living. Unlike Fund Managers, they are not responsible on thier investors' money. Like one scene when Mathew (all right all right allright) explained to young JB, that Brokers earn cash while thier investors loose or win on paper money (unless they are cashing them). Commission on Wall Street on Blue chips is only 1% that means that for a $10,000 their comm is only $100. So the fate of the investors money is not their responsibility but they earn their commission already. Now as you can see their job is to sell thier product which is the potential of making money. If their clients keep on losing money, not that they have to pay, but their reputation will be dented. So brokers must be good sellers rather than good traders. Being good at both is a blessing. But they dont trade as they only placed investors' trade which was based on the brokers' recommendation.

So thats why the baldy thumbs up as this movie showed me something. BTW, the movie was made due to the hardwork of our own PM's step son in getting $100Mil to fund the movie possibly from 1mdb.
