There you go. Hand them out.
There you go.
He was incredibly unflinching in his honesty. Jordan Belfort is
reflecting on a time period in his life where he was incredibly hedonistic and debaucherous
He gave in to every temptation possible and was motivated by greed and
when you're looking for a character to play that's
certainly one that explores the the darker nature of humanity
he wants something that reverberates as honest and
he was intricately a part of creating this character with me.
I got to research the real man and and spend a lot of time with them
so I wanted to do a film of this nature that was almost like
a modern-day fall of the Roman Empire
and what better place to do it than on Wall Street.
You will bring us two absolute martinis. You know how I like them, without ice.
And after exactly 7 and a half minutes you will bring the next two.
And then the next two, every five minutes,
till someone is going to fall of his chair.
I think I am fine with water, thanks.
It's his first day on Wall Street.
This was a a film where we we tried to pull no punches where we were trying to push the
envelope every day was very improvisational
and thematically we weren't doing a film that I think that
people we're going to rush to the theaters to
to be a part of, seeing as it's about Wall Street, but Marty was very specific in
saying 'Let's make this a satire, let's make this a dark comedy.
We should be on this journey with these people to understand the act,
the fun and the temptation that they had to to keep
pushing forward and so with that approach
you know everything was easy. You know.
We tried to give an accurate portrayal of these people as we possibly
could and I think we did.
You ordered the stupid sides. Tell him about that!
I was ordering sides. Sides? Sides worth $26.000?!
What kind? Can they cure cancer? Yes, they can.
And that's why they were that expensive. Shut up!
I hope they're entertained.
And ultimately I hope they see what we put into this movie that we tried to
really do something different. This is
not the type of film that gets financed very often
within the Hollywood studio system. So we really tried to push the boundaries every single day
and we didn't try to apologize for these
who these people were. But ultimately if they can reflect
a little bit on who these people were and equate it to
what's going on in the world today. Cause I can definitely say that I see
the attitude that these people have in this movie is
in direct correlation with everything that is wrong in the world today.
I mean it's this type of attitude that's destroying everything.
