The History Podcast - Movie Review: The Wolf of Wall Street

2014 Academy Award Series

Three hours of mayhem is Oscar worthy?

In short, yes. Some viewers have dismissed this film for its gratuitous nature and its glorification of crime. I understand this argument, and I get that an excessive use of the F-word can upset viewers. On the other hand, I do not know what audiences were expecting. This is a film by Martin Scorsese. Casino and Goodfellas are basically the same movie: criminals gallivant around for several hours and get into mishaps.
