The guy at the end who introduced Leo at the sales seminar was the actual Jorden Belfort.
all the times ive watched it her reaction was the first time I noticed it.
not to mention the people that they showed after the Actual Jorden belfort was the actual people that worked for him
@cheesyburrito5864 no lol. Why would they be there? Jordan ratted everyone out 😂 the real guy Jonah hills character is based off complains about this movie and how his character was portrayed.
From what I understand. They actually toned down the drugs and debauchery a lot for this movie compared to the real story because they thought it would come off as unrealistic.
Sounds like some bs belfort nonsense like everything else.
read the book and the book is wilder.@@fullmetalb5241
I imagine what was actually toned down was a lot of debauchery that wasn't consensual. Because lord knows what horny, drug-fueled maniacs like them were capable of doing to the women they worked with or the sex workers they hired.
So the Drug usage and partying are much worse in real life, he really made a good money🤣
Well, after all, it is a movie condensing a decade of drug use into just a few hours.
The 10am matinee of this was one of the funniest experiences I’ve had in a theater. At the beginning of the movie, the theater was pretty packed, mostly by senior citizens. By the end, more than half of them had walked out.
Natalie is the senior citizen in this case lol
😂
@@NatalieGoldReacts I love your vids ❤❤❤
Oh man, somehow my grandma ended up at a matinee of Eyes Wide Shut.
@@liquidpza this held the record for senior walkouts for nearly 10 years. The blue hairs really weren’t feeling “Babylon.”
Yes the yacht sank and the helicopter was actually pushed overboard by the crew so Italian special forces could rescue them by landing on the helipad. And yes, the rescue plane crashed, but the pilot survived.
A comedic look at terrible people can be pretty fun. The drug fueled shenanigans got a good laugh out of me, especially Leo hurling himself down the stairs.
its all fun and games until leo punches margot. the laughs stopped dead in its tracks for me.
Bro, It's a movie, about real life. People hit each other. At least this is just a movie.@@gabagool_and_psychiatry4856
@@gabagool_and_psychiatry4856 It's exactly the same kind of feeling Naomi felt when she realized she wasn't just married to some fun guy who liked to party, she married a narcissist who didn't give a shit about her or his kids, he just cared about himself.
Everything starts off great, you're having a great time, you're charmed by the guy and then something happens and the blinders are taken off and you realize he's a total piece of shit. A deluded ego-driven maniac that will fuck over anyone and everyone around him for his own benefit and partake in self-destructive behavior that will bring everyone else around him down with him.
I think it's kinda smart of the movie to lure you in like that and then be absolutely *vicious* with how it portrays him by the time he gut-punches Naomi. It shatters all illusions you have about the man and makes you feel like an idiot for being lured in.
Had a chat with my dad about this, the shit people do when on drugs or drinking, addiction is awful, however, when you see it on screen and the stupid things being do being depicted it can be really comedic and funny like “damnn.. did I really do that?”
everyone in the cinema when i saw it.
THIS should've been Leo's Oscar-winning performance (he's fantastic in Django Unchained, too. But I was thinking about a lead actor win when I wrote this). He is really good in The Revenant, of course. But it doesn't compare to this work in this one. Def my fav. performance of his.
Personally, I don’t think this film cracks Leo or Scorsese’s top 5 performances/films. But that’s more of a compliment to how strong their filmographies are, than a dig on this movie, which I love.
Personally he should have gotten it for Django imo. Neither this or Revenant are particular strong performances from him
Tom Hardy had the much stronger performance in The Revenant.
@@danishprince2760he was REALLY good in Django, too. But I guess I was thinking about an Oscar win in the lead category.
Strange thing is I think Leo's best performance might still be his first one.
People genuinely believed he was a handicapped kid doing some acting, in "what's eating Gilbert grape"
Then I also think "basketball diaries" and "this boys life" are amongst his best performances.
And they were all before he was old enough to vote.
Man, Leo went ALL IN on this movie, the under bite at the end of his speech made me flat out cackle😂
Trust me, watch Shutter Island if you still feel like Scorsese isn't doing it for you. I'd say it's his most accessible work if that makes sense, and I think you'll absolutely love it. Also another great performance by Leo
Shutter Island is great, even when you know the story and twists you can still go back and rewatch it.
AGREED @@magetaaaaaa
The Age of Innocence too.
Shutter Island might be one of his least accessible, even Scorsese himself doesn’t like it
That movie is a must watch in my opinion I think it’s as good as inception
It always blows my mind that this was Margot's first major film at only 22!
I think she really slapped Leo in the audition
It seems to me that those wanting less emphasis on the drugs and other bad behavior to make the main character seem more palatable or tolerable, in “Wolf” as well as “Goodfellas” and other films, are missing the notion that Scorsese doesn’t want Jordan Belfort or Henry Hill to seem like a swell guy. He’s always (almost always) deliberately chosen subjects that a majority of the audience would not want to have round for dinner. This is especially true of “Killers of the Flower Moon” - Leonardo was originally going to play the straight-arrow lawman but both he and Scorsese decided they weren’t interested in that so Leonardo chose to play one of the most pathetic, deceitful bastards in Scorsesedom. I’m sure Scorsese has had this conversation multiple times with every studio exec in town and apparently he’s stuck to his guns, which I admire quite a bit. 😊
It is an interesting thing about Scorsese that his films often center on truly despicable characters who come off as "heroes" to a sizable chunk of the audience (Belfort, everyone in Goodfellas and Casino, LaMotta, even Travis Bickle). You could consider it a failure of filmmaking or just an inevitability. I am honestly not sure how I feel about it personally.
@davidstevenson1933 I wonder if he even thinks about that when he develops scripts? Is it so baked into his sensibilities that it doesn't even enter his head now?
Apparently, when he took over "Cape Fear" from Spielberg he said the first thing he wanted to do is mess up the marriage and the relationship with the daughter. Spielberg said when he heard that he thought, "Okay, that's gonna ten million less at the box office." Not sure I know of any other specific behind the scenes examples. 🤔
Hes making characters appear just as he meant them. Also, they are fictional characters.. Obviously people are going to love an energetic, charming character played by everyones favorite actor even if hes a scumbag. Tbh im more likely to be interested in a character with some problems because its simply different. Scorsese likely makes polarizing characters because its just more fun to write characters that way. Failing to appreciate a film for what it is doesnt make the film a failure
You should give 'Hugo' a watch. A very different Scorsese film as he wanted to make one that his grandkids could watch. It's really nice, one of my all-time favourites and it pays wonderful homage to the early years of cinematic story-telling.
YES
Excellent recommendation and a brilliant movie.
Indeed Hugo was great!! it shows how Scorsese love Cinema--also Hugo has a beautiful cinematography.
For Scorsese… you need to see Shutter Island and Cape Fear. And The King of Comedy. Those 3 will 100% be up your alley
Shutter Island, especially. Damn that movie had some twists
I'm not sure if Shutter Island is something she'd like to see. A fantastic movie for sure, 2 movies in one when you see it the 2nd time soon after the 1st watch! But she needs something more like The Aviator. That's up her ally if we want to have a chance in salvaging a watch for another Scorsese film lol
I don't know the other 2 so no opinion there lol
SHUTTER ISLAND for sure!!!
Big Scorsese fan but Shutter island and king of comedy are just meh, Cape fear is good tho
The funniest part is that the main character of the movie is still alive, and out of prison, and is like chilling on Twitter giving financial advice. Especially because he openly admits and is portrayed in the movie that he initially got rich my scamming poor people into buying penny stocks because he told them it would make them rich. And now he's STILL giving talks to poor people and probably scamming them😂
And he is STILL making millions.
What do you mean “probably”?
well he was in this movie - in the last scene introducing Leo to the stage lol
oh lord
He's definitely still scamming them. He was caught just within these past few months as part of a crypto scam.
I still can't believe people told Margot Robbie she wasn't pretty enough for whatever before this movie. It's actually borderline insane.
This is based on a true story. I was a stockbroker on Wall Street and this happens in firms. We didn’t care what happened to our customers, only ourselves getting money. The script that was used to pitch stocks was actually used. Love how realistic this is. Stratton Oakmont was a real firm, Drugs wasn’t unusual, especially cocaine.
So, has karma already hit you?
That’s awesome
Openly admitting to be a terrible person like that is wild
@@joshua23_15 it was all about getting paid good
@@joshua23_15 jealous?
Great content! Could I recommend Shutter Island? Leo's acting is beyond amazing!
Shutter Island is both a great movie and one I think she will enjoy.
AGREED
Also the aviator, his best performance
The woman playing Aunt Emma (Joanna Lumley) was in a British sitcom called Absolutely Fabulous in the 1980s where she played a shallow man eating ex model who worked at a fashion magazine. She was the avatar of superficial and self involved 80s women and she was hilarious.
As much fun as she was, I kinda wish Julie Andrews had done it. She was first choice, apparently, but either she couldn’t do it for scheduling/health reasons or she didn’t like the project - depending on who’s telling it.
@@karlmortoniv2951 That's good info. I like Joanna playing the Aunt because she's a "if you know. You know." actress and her references to a wilder youth point toward Edi from Absolutely Fabulous.
@@swordmonkey6635 Sure, Lumley was great, no question of that. But Julie got up to some shenanigans when she was young as well - Carol Burnett said if they went out back then Julie would be the one most likely to get them arrested. 😜 How awesome would it have been to hear Julie Andrews’ voice say, “Is he fucking hitting on me?!” 🤣
She was also in James and the Giant Peach
@@Drax514 And in the 1960s British show The Avengers. She was a hottie back then.
Martin Scorsese has been on something of a record-breaking run lately. He just made history as only the 2nd person ever to receive 10 Directing nominations (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON earned him his 10th nomination) as well as the category's oldest ever nominee at age 81. Would love to hear your thoughts on this film.
35:24: "The problem for me still (and I still felt like this in 'Goodfellas' and I feel like this in this movie as well) is by the end of the movie I stop caring about a lot of his characters. Or a lot of the people that he writes about."
I hear you. I don't share the sentiment but I get it. I will say, with regards to Scorsese's filmography (at least from the films that I've sampled) is that there are a couple of outliers like "Hugo" and "After Hours", but for the most part his films tend to land somewhere between morally ambivalent and tragic.
Based on what you've said I'd stay away from "Raging Bull" "Casino", "Taxi Driver", "The King of Comedy" and "The Irishman". But if you're looking for a movie with slightly more sympathetic characters then your best bets are probably going to be "After Hours", "Hugo", "Bringing Out the Dead", "Silence", "The Aviator", "Shutter Island", "Killers of the Flower Moon" and possibly "Gangs of New York". "Aviator", "Shutter", "Killers" and "Gangs" are headlined by Leonardo Dicaprio, if that helps any.
Intelligent people realize that everything is morally ambivalent, more simple minded people aren't comfortable with delving into these type of themes, they don't want to admit their own flaws, they are more comfortable with black and white, good vs evil, superhero type stuff
@@leob4403 I don't know if I'd go that far man. In my experience people who use art as a barometer to quantify human intelligence are usually pseudointellectual gatekeepers who get off on being condescending.
@@user-lh3jo3di8s or people that are sick of superhero movies and big brand garbage like Barbie completely taking over cinemas? And Natalie Gold bawling her eyes out at all this superhero nonsense, she's one of the people setting that agenda, being so condescending towards Scorsese's works. And its not like I'm just a nobody saying this, Scorsese, Coppola, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Iñárritu etc. have essentially said many of the same things
Super duper long info just to get a heart.. stupid idea
@@ayeshaakhtar4727 You're right. Wasting effort on an inconsequentially negative comment is a much better use of intellectual ability. Enjoy the attention, this is the last time I'll be acknowledging you. Have a nick day. :)
The quaalude OD scene is TOO FREAKING HILARIOUS! I saw this in theaters and the entire audience, myself included, laughed nonstop throughout that scene. I actually thought I was going to pass out because I was laughing too hard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also Jordan Belfort, to this day owes millions of dollars to both the government and the people he scammed. So it really is a happy ending because the asshole is gonna be in debt for the rest of his life.🤣🤣
Everyone in Goodfellas is terirble and that's exactly why this movie is so fascinating
Not liking the characters and seeing them get away with things (Karma didn't get Jordan enough here or in real life, he's still scamming people) is kinda the point for Scorsese movies. In a lot of his movies, he tries to get you to partially engage with the characters and then get disgusted by them in the end especially when you see them continue in their behavior.
Moral ambivalence and emotional depth isn't for everyone, many people prefer the good guys vs bad guys superhero nonsense
It’s interesting how so many people view this movie as “movie about an evil person”
And then theres the whole other side of earth that are mentally able to comprehend this is just real life instead of injecting some moral high horse on the film
@@leob4403you havent seen super hero movies in decades then if you still think they’re doing that
This is SUCH a rewatchable movie. I can watch it over and over and it never fails to make me laugh. Also, you cannot write Scorcese off after only 3 movies. That's just criminal.
She's probably more into romcoms and superheros and stuff like that
@@leob4403 She's watched a great variety of movies in this channel, just because she doesn't like Scorsese's tone that much doesn't mean she doesn't have a good taste and takes of what she watches
I feel like these characters don't need to follow a typical character arc because these are based on real-life stories.
I loved watching this with you! I loved the way you oscillated between laughter, disgust and anger! Thanks for the hard work you do giving us these fun and interesting reactions.
Frfr, I have the same experience with it, def not all laughs, a lot of aggravation
Shutter Island is one of Scoresese’s best and underrated movies also starring Leo and very different from the every other Scorsese movie. One of my favorites. Highly recommend!
I saw this on Christmas Day and had no idea what I signed up for. I honestly thought it would be another Wall Street or Money Never Sleeps type film, I didn’t expect the explicit scenes or drug scenes which I’m fine with, just was 👀 when they came. There were also quite a few elderly people in the theater when we saw it and I felt terrible for them because there was a shift in the air of people being super uncomfortable lol what a ride
Older people ironically should be the most mature and most equipped to handle such things.
Nadine Macaluso (Naomi in the film) is now a therapist and writer who specialises in marriage and family counselling, and uses her platform to educate people on narcissistic behaviour in relationships (manipulation tactics, trauma bonding etc) - found this out from her Wikipedia page and also Instagram where she posts frequently. It's good to see her turn a pretty shite time in her life into helping others and try avoid what she went through.

I think what i like about Scorsese films is that he's making a commentary on the gangster nature of American society. The people who succeed are the Jordan Belfours, and this is what their lives are like. You're not supposed to like them. The beginning of Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street is the glam. We see the "cool" and "fun" aspects of the lifestyle of the gangster. It's easy money and being willing to do whatever it takes to make it makes you worthy of taking it. That's capitalism. So Scorsese also is making a commentary on capitalism and it's gangster nature. I think it was Capone who said that what he liked about America was that "anything you can take, and keep, is yours." Then in the second half of the films we see "the fall" of our gangsters. Every empire crumbles. We could argue Scorsese is also making a commentary on the decline of American empire. Lots of Mafia themed media deals with these themes. The Sopranos tackles them as well. The Godfather movies. All of these movies and tv shows that I've mentioned are post modernist. Scorsese is a post modernist director. All these themes I've said he's exploring with his films are common themes explored in post modern media. The Godfather was one of the first post modernist films.
I didn't expect to write a novel.
Great take dude but you're throwing pearls before swine, some people refuse to see the depth in anything, they're just completely stuck in their comfort emotions and that's the only way they relate to art
@@leob4403 I'm a she, but I thought I'd give a brief explanation of what I love about his films. I have no idea if this would make sense to most people or not. I decided not to explain post modernism because it was already a novel. Lol
@@ComradeHB no it's great, it's the way we need to analyze art, but with the dumbing down of cinema (yes I mention again superheros, and many great directors including Scorsese and Oliver Stone have said the same thing) it has become mainly comfort junk food for people they use to zone out in a comfortable stupor. Even critiquing capitalist society the way Scorsese or Stone did has become a big no no, zoomers instead focusing on woke pandering and virtue signaling, the powers have succeeded in diverting any attention or focus away from socioeconomic divides and the abuse of the power elite. Young people these days tend to be completely uncritical of the capitalist elite, they are not comfortable in fighting that fight anymore (generally speaking of course), even the environmental movement are careful not to bring that type of rhetoric in to the picture.
@@leob4403 The oldest zoomer is 27, they don't have that much influence over what films are made yet. Also, I don't know what movies you watch or what young people you talk with, but left ideas are far more accepted by young people than by the older ones. Movies also are much more blatantly attacking capitalism or class disparaties than in the late 90s or 00s. Knives Out, Glass Onion, Parasite, Joker, Us, Triangle of Sadness, Babylon, The Florida Project, Roma, Sorry to Bother You, They Cloned Tyrone, The Big Short, the entire Purge franchise or TV shows like Succession - all from the last 10 years, and all either popular or critically acclaimed or both. Like, not all of those are good, some even pretty bad, but you can't deny the theme is there.
If Natalie is going to give Scorsese another chance she better not choose "Taxi Driver" because she'll be done for sure.
I’m so here for this! Love you ❤
So... I work in Finance. While we've never thrown midgets at dartboards, we have had a few corporate events end pretty wildly so that part of the movie isn't entirely inaccurate. There was one summer where we had keggers at the office every Friday.
Never threw midgets at dartboards? That’s Sounds like something that someone who DOES that would say 😏
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
I feel like the acting in this movie is beyond amazing. And I love your reaction videos ❤❤❤. Great job Nat ❤❤❤ and your hairstyle is beautiful
Love the reaction. it's very sincere. I just feel like you hang on values that u don't agree with instead of just enjoying the ride and the journey. ❤
I saw this in theaters without knowing a single thing about it, I didn't even know Leo was in it and it was one of my favorite theater memories. What a movie haha
We all knew the boat storm scene was inevitable... Leo doesn't have the best track record with luxury ships.
As always a great reaction.
I wasn't sure how the edit for this video would work on TH-cam with all the debauchery in the full-length film 😂😂... well done Nat and Cameron..
To me the ending is commenting on greed, which is the subject of the whole movie. Basically saying, it doesn’t matter what he did, how much he screwed up, if he went to jail: if there’s greed, people will be there to drink the kool aid. When you’re that rich, justice doesn’t apply to you and our society (all those extras’ faces) will continue to listen closely.
Natelie singing "Ive got the Best of both worlds " 🎉 hilarious
And beautiful.
Always a good day when Natalie drops a new banger
Great reaction Natalie, like always. This movie stands as a testament to the storytelling power of cinema when it intersects with real-life events. Its basis in truth allows the audience to not only witness the extremes of human behavior but also to reflect on the broader implications and lessons that extend beyond the screen. And there are some fun facts about this movie, Jordan Belfort was inspired by Tommy Chong to write the book, of all the people to thank for the existence of The Wolf of Wall Street, actor and stoner icon Tommy Chong is the guy who ultimately made it happen. Chong served a jail sentence in the same Californian prison as Jordan Belfort and the two were cellmates. And according to Business Insider, Belfort told Chong stories from his career on Wall Street during their jail stay together and Chong encouraged him to collect those stories into a memoir- which became the basis for the movie. Before Martin Scorsese became interested in the project, in a interview a producer reported that Ridley Scott was interested in directing an adaptation of The Wolf of Wall Street with Brad Pitt playing Jordan Belfort. Leonardo DiCaprio had been desperate to play Jordan Belfort since reading his book, Jonah Hill took a pay cut for the opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese, On an episode of The Howard Stern Show, Jonah Hill says that he was so desperate to work with favorite director Martin Scorsece, also saying Goodfellas is his favorite movie and that he was willing to take a pay cut for the opportunity to work with him.
One of the most iconic scenes in this movie sees Matthew McConaughey’s character thumping his chest and humming, which wasn't in the script. In fact, it’s McConaughey’s own scene preparation ritual and he does it before every take. And according to McConaughey, Leonardo DiCaprio suggested including it in the movie and Scorsese decided to throw it in. Since this was just the second week of filming, DiCaprio claims it set the tone for the rest of the shoot. Whenever one of the characters in the movie snorts cocaine- which is almost as frequent an occurrence in the movie as someone dropping an f-bomb, the actors are actually snorting crushed-up B vitamins, Jonah Hill revealed that he contracted bronchitis from inhaling so much and had to be hospitalized. Most of the dialogues in the movie was improvised, the scene in which Jordan tries to get home from the country club as the Quaaludes set in was entirely improvised on the day. It was DiCaprio’s idea for Jordan to open the car door with his foot, though that had to be the only take, since he sprained his foot doing it. And in that scene where a female employee of his firm has her head shaved in front of hundreds of men hooting like animals so she might get $10,000 for a boob job. I watched that scene thinking, "They didn't fake this. This woman was absolutely shaved." And i later found out that her name is Natasha Newman Thomas. She's a Los Angeles-based stylist, and this beautiful women gave up her locks solely for the cinema. Keep up the good work.
This movie was definitely something for me😅 like so much was going on.
30:00 is when I got flashbacks when my parents fought and got a divorce. My dad took me and my sister to the other part of the city while my 5-year-old-brain was thinking we were just gonna buy some bread. We came home the next day
You just can't put Scorsese down by wathing 3 of his films... 😭 There is a lot great and different ones to see. Shutter Island, Taxi Driver, Silence, Hugo, Aviator, Bringing Out The Dead, Casino, Gangs Of New York, Cape Fear etc... Please don't give up on him!! And also, does a good film need to be rewatchable? I don't think so. Now, that just me of course.
It seems like to her, their has to be redeemable or good characters, or the story itself has to be uplifting. If those things aren't satisfied, she will never enjoy the movie.
This is one of those movies you're either utterly disgusted by or adore and watch ceremoniously every couple of months. No inbetweens
Sure. Not really. But sure.
Maybe every couple years, not months.
just like SuperBad
Do not get it twisted, because this movie revitalized his image, jordan belfort IS A SCAM ARTIST and a bad dude, and this movie basically allowed him to get back into doing it again nowadays
Thanks for the reaction! Love all your vids 😊
Always a delight to watch your reactions and this didn't disappoint. And don't worry about being a square, Natalie; not everyone is into drugs of those sorts after all. It's also refreshing to hear that you don't always conform to public opinion regarding certain filmmakers and their works.
Totally agree on the unique feel of scorsese, but I would really recommend watching some of his other less famous films. He really has massive range and films like silence and last temptation of christ really showcase his sensibilities. It actually helped me appreciate his other more "scorsese-ism" style movies like goodfellas.
I LOVED this movie when I went to see it, I ended up seeing it 7 times in the theaters, all through January 2014, which is a quiet month for movies, so most of the time, I had the whole row to myself. I found myself laying down on 3 seats watching the movie like I was on my couch at home, having a great time!
Omg! I didn’t know I needed this right now!
Really interesting discussion at the end Natalie, really enjoyed that part actually!
I agree with you about Scorsese as a director. A film that came out at the same time as Goodfellas, and got lost a little in the hype around that film, was Miller's Crossing by the Coen Brothers. It is, for me, one of the Coen's best films and one you might appreciate.
Leo certainly wasnt overshadowed in ANY way by the rest of the cast, so it does make his performance appear to be much better than it was. It nevertheless was one of his best films and one of my favorites. His character was SO modern despicable.
Cool reaction as always Natalie, you take care and have a great weekend sweetie 🥰❤️
i dated someone who was somewhat distantly related to belfort, and apparently the boat storm scene was a factor into why he missed her parents’ wedding… they don’t like to talk about him😅
Sounds like you'd enjoy the movie 'Blow' with Johnny Depp. Has a similar story to Wolf or Goodfellas, based on a real cocaine kingpin, but has far more likeable/redeemable characters and more of a character development.
Such an amazing movie and always makes me wanna get on a coke binge 😂🤦🏼♂️
Relatable
FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for you to do Wolf of Wall Street for so long!!!
LOVE the captions over the content that was unable to be shown!
Scorsese has a lot of different types of film though, Shutter Island is one that I'm sure you'd love it and it's a mystery/psychological thriller. Plus, other films like Hugo, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Aviator, King of Comedy and the recent Killers of The Flower Moon are all pretty distinct and probably more to your liking. It just happens that some of his most popular ones are his crime/mob films, which to me are his least interesting ones.
Don't even bother, her minds already made up. Scorsese just does violent, over the top movies, completely ignoring the rest of his like two dozen movie filmography thats literally all critically acclaimed and widely varied in genre and tone. It's just stupidity. Forget it.
your censorship is more entertaining than the actual scenes 😂
The funny thing about the scene with the stairs is that you can clearly see when he’s crawling at the top of them, that there are five steps that go down to the ground. But then, as soon as he starts, rolling down the stairs, it cuts to a shot where there is now 16 of them to over emphasize how incredibly messed up he is. Brilliant.
I had it in my soul that you were uploading today. I saved my drinks and my snacks just for this
I think "I just wanted these scenes to end" was the point of those scenes. The whole point is how awful this person and their lifestyle was.
You should 100% check out "Killers of the Flower Moon", Scorsese's latest film. It is definitely a pretty different tale, with a different tone than what you'd maybe expect from his work. Much more akin to "Silence" than, say, "Goodfellas".
If you dig DiCaprio in movies, it is def a good one for ya. And it is totally fine if ya don't like the tone of Scorsese's movies, or if you don't connect with them. I just think that his movies are worth checking out. And ofc, not everything will work for everyone. I do hope that people aren't giving you a hard time about it lol.
THIS is the one I was waiting for. One of my favorite movies, if not my favorite
Love the new intro Nat!
You probably shouldn't dismiss his entire filmography of 25+ movies after only seeing 3 of them.
I used to watch this movie every single day for a whole year, during sophomore year in high school.
I completely agree with your summation, I remember feeling the same way like ok I'm done we can wrap this up I'm spent
The Big Short is the best Wall Street related movie ever, unfortunately people don't usually understand it 😢
The Big Short is WOWS if it was actually critical of Wall Street and didn't simultaneously try to glorify how horrible these people are, and focused not on the rich assholes, but the people who get fucked over by the rich assholes. I low key love that movie, and of course its director also produced Succession 👌
One of my favorite movies
Actually believe it or not, many people who worked on wall street confirm the parties, drugs, sex and behaviour for this time is accurate. In fact for the movie it was actually dialed down, it was much worse in real life and the guy at the end who introduced Leo in the seminar is the real Jordan Belford
Fun fact, at the very end that was the real Jordan Belfort introducing Leo at the seminar!
Great review!
It's always fun to watch movies with you, Natalie 🙂
You might enjoy Hugo (2011) as it's quite a departure from Scorsese's usual works in that it's the first family film that he ever directed.
The Irishman (2019) is another mob movie by him but instead of emphasising the adrenaline The Irishman is a very human and sober film; it's more about reflection, regret and existentialism.
Shutter Island, Aviator - might be up your alley. Very good Scorsese films that aren’t about anti-protagonists. Maybe Cape Fear, Hugo, Casino (possibly). You’ve only watch 2 films of his, theres clearly more he made that isn’t about mob, drugs, etc. Hugo is literally a children’s movie lol
I appreciate your take and honesty on this movie and Scorsese movies in general. For movies, like all art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If ever you decide to revisit Scorsese, I might suggest The Aviator, Scorsese’s first teaming with DiCaprio. A biopic about Howard Hughes. To me an interesting story about a mogul, with flaws definitely that are shown in the movie. A complicated man but also a dreamer. Great cinematography, sound, and some great artistic shots. And a character that I feel you might empathize with a little more than some of Scorsese’s other “Protagonists”.
FINALLY !❤
This was THE ONE that all of us thought was going to get Leo his Oscar, and truly I do think this is one of, if not his best true acting role I’ve ever seen. You know, where his acting was better than the actual story itself
I hated Leonardo DICaprio nearly all my life, for real, I hated his face, i hated his acting, I just was totally not having it. But at some point you just have to give up and accept that he is actually a VERY good actor and a force in the industry. There is no real reason to hate him and he always picks the right movies. He LITERALLY faught with a bear to get his oscar, lets start giving him the respect he deserves :D
I never hated him, but I totally dismissed him for so many years, because I thought he was just vastly overrated because he was attractive. I was completely wrong of course. Once I saw how great he actually is, I realized I had missed out, and now I would say he’s one of my favorite actors. Especially for films like this.

Donnie took the paper and ratted Jordan out.
You might like the movie "Hugo" which was also directed by Scorsese and is a lot different story-wise from a bunch of his movies. It's about a little orphan boy in Paris who ends up meeting one of the first film directors. Scorsese has also directed a bunch of documentaries, including concert films featuring Neil Young and The Rolling Stones.
I’m 25 and when I watched saltburn and saw that it was set in 2006 is when I officially felt old I’ve been feeling old because I’m around little kids a lot and their discovering 2000-2010 disney ear asking me questions like have you heard of Hannah Montana 😫
Natalie, Please give Scorsese a few more chances as I get the feeling that it's more to do with the subject matter than the Director per se, I recommend:
"After Hours" 1985,
"The Age of Innocence" 1993,
"Shutter Island" 2010,
"Taxi Driver" 1976,
there are many other of his films which I could recommend but I think these are some of his better ones.
I’ll add Hugo (2011) to that list as well!
@@Little1Cave Yes, that's a great film by him too.
So basically nat spent the whole movie just hating these clearly chaotic characters and taking everything they’re doing to heart instead of just having fun with it lol
Great reaction!
You know Nat is a genuinely nice person when she only gets the most enjoyment out of movies when the story has someone who is also genuinely nice, and therefor lets her care about the person lol
Essentially, if she can't care about the character, she can't even be interested in their story lol
That's rather the hallmark of an emotionally immature person
Nobody plays innocent-person-turned-asshole like Leo. This was his finest performance, in my opinion, but because it wasn't a "serious" movie, it was looked down upon for the awards.
I'd love to see you react to a non-crime Scorsese movie, with more empathetic characters.
The Aviator, The Age of Innocence, Shutter Island, After Hours, and Raging Bull are all worth a watch 🙌🏼
Love your channel! Keep it up 🔥
11:07 dude is the definition of “ I luh the game , i luh the hustle” lmao 😂
Fun fact, Belfort's cellmate when he was in prison was none other than Tommy Chong, the guy who played Leo in That 70s Show. It was his idea for Belfort to write a book about his experiences to help pay his debts off.
Hey Natalie give some of Scorsese's non stereotypical movies a shot. I'm not a huge fan of his mob movies or violence forward films either, but if you check out age of innocence and cape fear I think you'll see his sophistication and range as a director. Happy watching!
This was a surprise watch for me and a friend. I can't remember how much of the movie I was aware of, but I'm pretty sure it was one I wanted to watch in theaters but ultimately missed out on doing so. One night we had gone out off base and ended up at Walmart, we were looking for a movie to watch and asked an employee what he would recommend, he recommend this one so we took it and watched it in my room; we were immediately into it when the boobies were up on screen haha
wow happy friday lets goooooo
so movies like Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street are made in such a way that you don't get fascinated by these characters or root for them but actually get disgusted by their lives and their choices. Scorcese always ends his movies by showing the consequences these characters have to face for their actions so that we don't draw inspiration from them and he does that with most of his films. The point is you don't get attracted by these people .
Lmao you clearly have a different sense of humor tho because I was dying in the plane scene ! HILFE !🤣🤣🤣
Hope you watch Scorsese's Silence! I think that'd be more your cup of tea!
Fantastic movie. Phenomenal cast.
