OT but i'm happy to see someone else was also disgusted so much by that movie. I'm not a moralist but the glorification of such degenerated values in that movie

- scrollaway 11y agoThe glorification in the movie was there to make this exact point. Be disgusted that people took it as some sort of how-to be successful guide. Don't shoot the messenger.
- spdionis 11y agoThat's the meaning I actually took from the movie, but I'm still not sure that was the purpose of the authors. A lot of people didn't understand it that way anyway. Edit: tried to take, because it's still hard to assimilate
- samstave 11y agoI loved the movie! It was great inspiration for me to hope that one day I could hope to take a bunch of SSRI drugs and go on a murderous rampage in some random Wall Street hedge fund office! (I'm mostly kidding)
- rconti 11y agoLoved the movie. Doesn't mean I want to be like him. One of my favorite movies, The Talented Mr Ripley, leaves you feeling unsatisfied about the conclusion-- not a typical Hollywood ending. Boiler Room is also a favorite, which of course is related to Wolf of Wall Street.
