Though it didn’t win Leonardo an Oscar, Wolf Of Wall Street is a funny and inspiring movie that is beloved by many people. Not only are there some of funny lines throughout the film, but there are also a lot of meaningful quotes, used in the movie to motivate aspiring business men and young entrepreneurs.
The movie was released in late December of 2013, and (though this may be hard to believe for those who have seen it) is actually based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, who has since become rather popular. The movie takes place on Wall Street (as you may have guessed), and shows just how crazy things can get there, especially when a lot of money, drugs, and prostitutes are involved.
