7 Reasons The Wolf Of Wall Street Makes Us Bow Down To Scorsese
6. DiCaprio Is An Unhinged Riot
Not only is it evident from Jordans personal memoirs that he was a cynical and crude nutcase, DiCaprio dug even future into the memories of his real life counterpart in person behind the scenes, and it shows. DiCaprio wanted to capture every little embarrassing detail of the real Jordan Belfort, even it meant having candlewax in his ass, literally. Its not just DiCaprios extreme dedication to capturing Jordan physically that stands out, but the never-ending energetic rush of adrenaline and enthusiasm present in every action or piece of dialogue too. Every time Jordan steps on stage to deliver a battle-cry of greed to his minions, you cant help but enter a state of shock in response to how much intensity is pouring from the speech. And then theres the onslaught of comedy -both physical and situational- that round out the insanity. Without spoiling, there is a scene of pure insanity that involves Jordan entering what he calls the Cerebral Palsy phase. Its honestly one of the most brilliant and hilarious moments in all of cinema.
