What did you think of this film? I thought it was terrific and dare I say red pill.
After the huge beta failure that is Don Jon, I found The Wolf of Wall Street to be a breath of fresh air. Almost every woman in the film is a sex prize, it's filled with nudity and there's even a questionable "rape scene" that has feminists steaming from the ears. As far as Hollywood goes, this is pretty damn red pill which explains why the reviews are somewhat mixed. There are even a few articles condemning the film for being anti-semetic, another no-no in Hollywood.
The film doesn't portray Leo's character in a positive light. He is way too overboard, he is a man void of self-control which turns out to be his downfall. Nevertheless the movie highlights the rewards of being an alpha male who takes what he wants, while most of the negative light is shone on the corrupt banking world. This movie will for sure be snubbed at the oscars, but I tip my hat off to Scorcese. This is a movie Spielberg would never make in his lifetime.

Why is Hollywood making big-budget movies about sleazy Jewish crooks?
