History Buffs: The Wolf of Wall Street

3 years in a minimum security resort in exchange for living that lifestyle for 20 years? So worth it

The only thing bad about this movie was Leonardo DiCaprio not winning an Oscar for his performance as Jordan Belfort.

Revisiting after buying gamestop stock at $400

It’s insane that Jordan Belford got away with about 2 years after basically robbing people of billions of dollars, yet if someone were to rob a gas station or something like that they would most definitely get at least 10 years give or take depending on what state your in. I think the justice system needs to revaluate it’s crime system and serve harsher criminal sentences accordingly. (Edit man this has a lot of likes and comments lol, looking back on this I was definitely wrong on the comment, but I do still think it’s crazy)

Living that lifestyle for a decade and after all that you get to spend 22 months chillin with Tommy Chong at a "summer camp" ... dude is the luckiest human alive.

I think if you told Tommy Chong any amount of anyone's life story he'd say something along the lines of "Yeah man; you should like totally write a book or something".

I used to work in Finance, and there actually was a dwarf tossing party that did end up getting a brokerage in trouble. It was in Florida. I worked in Compliance and read the NASD and SEC write ups of it. I'm not surprised they threw it in the movie.

I met this kid in college who's father worked for Jordan, he served 3 years. He was very wealthy though which knowing what I know now I wonder how he kept all that money.

I...WILL....NOT....DIE.... SOBER!!

Ah, the days when a 500 point drop in the market could be reported as a great loss, and not just a normal Tuesday.

the part where jordan belfort introduces jordan belfort is crazy

Dunno what it is...but I can watch this movie, easily once a week. Leo is just so good in the role.

Honestly, Jordan's lack of justice is an example of how messed up our justice system is.

"Is this related to history?" "Did it happen in the past?" "Yes." "Then yes."

The waitress serving Brad in the restaurant scene was Lois in Goodfellas. Sauce?

I always like to imagine Tommy Chong saying "Whoah man, that's some stooory maaan. You should write a booook maaaan."

The biggest inaccuracy in the film: no wolves.

one day I want to work real hard and end up in rich guy prison

I find it convenient that this was in my recommended during the GameStop surge

To be fair, "history" simply means "it already happened." Since 1990 already happened, um, yeah, it is history.
