I guess if you had never met anyone like that, the characters in this movie might shock and surprise you. I guess if you didn't already know that sh*tty soulless sociopaths run the world this movie might be edgy for you. Ignorance is bliss. Martin Scorsese is a master film maker. Over time we have seen that he has a fascination with the American experience, specifically with the lives of Americans who make their fortunes outside of the law. I get it. Martin is doing just fine. The Wolf Of Wall Street is well directed well acted well written and worthy of whatever praise and accolades it can gather. My only complaint is that sociopaths are sh*tty boring people and their stories are unworthy of glory. Empathy kicks ass! Mr. Scorsese make a movie of that.
