Where To Watch The Wolf of Wall Street

More details about The Wolf of Wall Street and where you can watch

The Wolf of Wall Street is packed with fascinating details both on and off screen. Leonardo DiCaprio spent considerable time researching Jordan Belfort and helped bring the project to Martin Scorsese. One of the movie’s most memorable moments, Matthew McConaughey’s chest-thumping scene, was inspired by McConaughey’s real pre-performance ritual and was largely improvised. The film was also notable for its extreme use of profanity, earning a place among the movies with the highest number of uses of the F-word. Several outrageous incidents were inspired by Belfort’s memoir, although Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter changed or combined events for dramatic effect. The real Stratton Oakmont brokerage became infamous for its aggressive sales culture and fraudulent stock practices, making the film’s portrayal of excessive wealth and reckless ambition particularly striking. Another interesting detail is that Belfort himself makes a cameo near the end of the movie, introducing the fictionalized version of himself played by DiCaprio.
