The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 American black comedy film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on Jordan Belfort's memoir of the same name. It was released on December 25, 2013. The screenplay was written by Terence Winter, and the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Belfort, a New York stockbroker who runs a firm, Stratton Oakmont, that engages in securities fraud and corruption on Wall Street in the 1990s.
The film also features Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey. It is the fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio, and the second between Scorsese and Winter after Boardwalk Empire.
Plot
In 1987, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) becomes a stockbroker at an established Wall Street firm. His boss, Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey), recommends to him that he adopt a lifestyle of drugs and prostitutes in order to succeed. He passes the Series 7 Exam and earns his broker's license, only to lose his job when the firm fails after Black Monday.
With the job market for stockbrokers slack, Belfort considers another career, but his wife Teresa Petrillo (Cristin Milioti) finds an ad for Investor Center, a Long Island boiler room which deals in penny stocks. Here, his aggressive pitching style soon earns him a fortune. He befriends Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill), a salesman who lives in the same apartment complex as Belfort, and they decide to open their own firm together, recruiting several of Belfort's friends (all experienced marijuana dealers) and some co-workers from Investor Center to join them. The firm, Stratton Oakmont, soon becomes a billion-dollar company, and Belfort brings his parents, accountants "Mad" Max (Rob Reiner) and Leah Belfort (Christine Ebersole), to handle his finances.
Belfort and his employees lead a lifestyle of total debauchery with lavish parties, sex and drugs both in the workplace and in their personal lives. He begins cheating on his wife with several prostitutes, and becomes addicted to cocaine and Quaaludes. FBI agent Patrick Denham (Kyle Chandler) begins investigating Belfort and the company. At one of his parties, Belfort meets Naomi Lapaglia (Margot Robbie) and begins an affair with her that leads to him divorcing his wife. Belfort falls in love with and proposes to Lapaglia. They wed, and a few months later, have a daughter, Skyler.
The FBI investigation continues, with the Securities and Exchange Commission joining in. Belfort opens a Swiss bank account with Jean-Jacques Saurel (Jean Dujardin) in the name of Naomi's aunt Emma (Joanna Lumley). She and other non-Americans regularly carry cash to Geneva for deposit, helping Belfort launder the proceeds of Stratton's securities frauds. The scheme is nearly exposed by an incident where Azoff gets into a fight with Brad Bodnick (Jon Bernthal), a drug dealer and friend of Belfort's who has been helping transfer money to Switzerland.
After Bodnick is arrested, Azoff decides to take extremely powerful "Lemmon" Qualuudes with Belfort, in an attempt to break the news to him. The two take the pills and watch Family Matters, with no effect. Belfort soon receives a call from his private investigator, who advises him to call him on a payphone. Belfort goes to a local country club and talks to his private investigator on a payphone, who tells him that his house phone has been wiretapped. The Qualuudes then begin severely affecting Belfort, who drives home and finds Azoff talking on the phone about the laundered money, before almost choking to death on a ham sandwich. Belfort counteracts the effects of the Qualuudes with cocaine, then performs CPR on Azoff, saving his life.
Belfort and Azoff take their wives on a yacht trip to Italy, where they learn that Emma has died of a heart attack. Over his grieving wife's objections, Belfort orders the boat to Monaco so they can stop in Switzerland on the way to the funeral and settle the bank account, but it is capsized by a violent storm. After their rescue and to Belfort's eyes, a plane sent to take them to Geneva explodes in midair just before landing. Belfort considers this a sign from God and decides to sober up.
Two years later, Denham arrests Belfort during the filming of an infomercial. Saurel, arrested in Florida due to another scheme, has told the FBI everything. Since the case against him is overwhelming, Belfort agrees to wear a wire to gather evidence against his colleagues. He slips Azoff a note alerting him of this during a conversation.
Optimistic about his chances at sentencing, he attempts to reconcile with Naomi. Instead she tells him she wants a divorce, provoking a violent confrontation in which he rapes Naomi and crashing his car while attempting to kidnap Skylar, who is unhurt in the accident. The next morning, Denham, who had obtained the note Belfort passed to Azoff, arrests him. This time Belfort tells the FBI everything, leading to over 20 arrests in the ensuing raid on Stratton.
Belfort is sentenced to three years in prison. He serves his time at a minimum security Nevada facility where, just like Wall Street, "everything is for sale." At the end of the film, he is teaching sales techniques at a seminar in New Zealand.

Production
Development
In 2007, Leonardo DiCaprio won a bidding war against Brad Pitt for the rights to Jordan Belfort's memoir The Wolf of Wall Street.[20] During pre-production, Scorsese worked on the film's script prior to working on Shutter Island. He describes having "wasted five months of [his] life" without getting a greenlight on production dates by the studio Warner Bros.[21]
In 2010, Warner Bros. had offered Ridley Scott to direct the film, with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the male lead.[22] Warner Bros. eventually dumped the project.[23]
In 2012, a green light was given by the independent company Red Granite Pictures. Scorsese came back on board knowing there were no limits to the content he would produce; as it stands, the film has an R rating.[24]
In the film, most of the real-life characters' names originally in Belfort's memoir have been changed. Donnie Azoff is based on Danny Porush; the FBI agent known as Patrick Denham is the stand-in for real-life Gregory Coleman;[25] and lawyer Manny Riskin is based on Ira Lee Sorkin.[26] Belfort's first wife, Denise Lombardo, is re-named Teresa Petrillo, while second wife Nadine Caridi became on-screen Naomi Lapaglia. In contrast, Mark Hanna's name remains the same as the LF Rothschild stockbroker who, like Belfort, was convicted of fraud and served time in prison.[27][28]
Filming
Filming began on August 8, 2012 in New York.[29] Jonah Hill announced that his first day of shooting was September 4, 2012.[30] It was also reported that filming took place in Closter, New Jersey[31] and Harrison, New York. In January 2013, additional scenes were shot at a set built in an abandoned office building in Ardsley, New York.
Scorsese's longtime editor Thelma Schoonmaker stated that the film would be shot digitally instead of on film.[32] Scorsese, who had been a proponent of shooting on film, decided to shoot Hugo digitally because it was being photographed in 3D; however, The Wolf of Wall Street was originally planned to be shot digitally despite being filmed in 2D.[33] Schoonmaker expressed her disappointment with the decision, saying, "It would appear that we've lost the battle. I think Marty just feels it's unfortunately over, and there's been no bigger champion of film than him."[32] After extensive comparison tests during pre-production, eventually the majority was shot on film while scenes that used green screen effects or low light were shot with the Arri Alexa.[33] The film contains 400-450 VFX shots.[34]
Release
The Wolf of Wall Street was released on December 25, 2013. It was previously slated to be released on November 15, 2013, but the date was pushed back after film cuts were desired in order to reduce the run time.[35] On October 22, 2013, it was reported that it was set for a Christmas 2013 release.[36] Paramount officially confirmed the Christmas Day 2013 release date on October 29, 2013 with a running time of 165 minutes.[20][37] On November 25, 2013, the length was announced to be 179 minutes.[2] It was officially rated R for "sequences of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language throughout, and for some violence".[19] Scorsese had to edit sexual content and nudity to avoid an NC-17 rating.[38] The film contains between 506 and 544 uses of the word "fuck" [39][40] and sets the record for the most uses of the word in a mainstream non-documentary film.[41][42]
Promotion
The film's first theatrical trailer was released on June 16, 2013 and features the song "Black Skinhead" by Kanye West.[19] A new trailer was released on October 29, 2013.[43] The songs featured in the second trailer are "Meth Lab Zoso Sticker" by 7Horse and "Hang You from the Heavens" by The Dead Weather.[19]
Reception
Critical response
The Wolf of Wall Street has received generally positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 75% approval rating, with an average score of 7.6/10, based on reviews from 175 critics. The site's consensus states: "Funny, self-referential, and irreverent to a fault, The Wolf of Wall Street finds Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio at their most infectiously dynamic".[44] The film has a score of 75/100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 47 critics.[45]
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine named The Wolf of Wall Street as the third best film of 2013, behind 12 Years a Slave and Gravity at numbers one and two. The movie was chosen as one of the top ten films of the year by the American Film Institute as well as the National Board of Review.[citation needed]
Dana Stevens, a member of the New York Film Critics Circle, wrote that the movie did not work for her and was not a factor for them in any award category. According to Marshall Fine of The Huffington Post the story "wants us to be interested in characters who are dull people to start with, made duller by their delusions of being interesting because they are high."[46] Some critics viewed the movie as an irresponsible glorification rather than a satirical takedown. DiCaprio responded that the film does not glorify the excessive lifestyle it depicts.[47] [48]
Animal rights organization PETA criticized the film for the inclusion of a chimpanzee owned by the Rosaire family, which "is notorious for operating a traveling circus that forces chimpanzees to perform cruel and unnatural acts."[49]
Audience response
The film received a "C" rating from audiences surveyed by CinemaScore,[50] a rating lower than anything else in theaters the opening week of the film.[51] The Los Angeles Times argues the film's marketing attracted conservative viewers with morals that conflict with morals depicted in the film.[52] Christina McDowell[clarification needed] critiqued the film for its insufficiently portraying the victims of financial crimes.[53]
Steven Perlberg of Brave Business Insider saw the film near the Goldman Sachs building and reported cheers from the audience [of financial workers] at all the wrong moments—"When Belfort — a drug addict who later attempts to remain sober — rips up a couch cushion to get to his secret coke stash, there were cheers."[51]
