9 Things You Didn't Know About The Wolf Of Wall Street
5. Footage Of Belfort's Real Beach Party Can Be Found on YouTube
If the fuzzy footage of the real beach party Jordon Belfort held at his home in 1991 teaches you anything, it's that The Wolf Of Wall Street is rather faithful in its depiction of the life of excess that Belfort had before he was put behind bars. Martin Scorsese is a director that doesn't skimp on the details, and his fictionalised version of the beach party is almost identical in setting, character placement and dialogue that you to admire his desire for authenticity. Aside from that, the footage also shows just how authentic DiCaprio wanted his performance to be. From addressing the crowd of employees below the balcony of the beach house to the delivery of his lines and his body language, DiCaprio captured Belfort's life down to a tee. While the film may exaggerate certain scenes and events of Belfort's life, the above is video proof that Belfort's life really was full of as much grandeur and outlandish displays of wealth that audiences saw in film. http://youtu.be/C-Md3sFW4AM
