I know it was based on a real person but i'm sure there must have been healthy amounts of literary licensing taking place. It was just overdone and STUPID STUPID STUPID. literally made me want to kill Dicaprio's entire team. Literally. It was just that dumb. I was really disappointed since I was expecting a good movie. I'M surprised this got good reviews from the critics but what the hell do they know. Back then I wondered why this movie didn't receive any Oscars when it had such high reviews and acclaim. But i guess now I know why. This was more like watching Animal House on Wall Street than anything else. So WHACK! I couldn't believe how disappointed I was in both Dicaprio and Scorsese
