The Wolf of Wall Street
 |
| DVD COVER ART |
I chose the Wolf of Wall Street because I am confident about all of the inferences and connotation; I watched the trailer for an insight and I think I have loads to say. As it is so popular, I believe I will be able to research quickly and easily without digging through information to get further information.
Institutional Background: This film was produced by Paramount Pictures who worked along side with Red Granite Pictures to create this film.

Universal Pictures International is responsible for the distribution of this film.
No Brand Loyalty: This film fits into the Biographical genre as it is based on a book, based on a person. Also, this film has elements of Crime and Comedy. I think it will fit into Crime because of the amount of money being thrown around - it connotes suspicious as it hasn't been put into a bank account - it is lying around everywhere . I reckon that this also fits into the Comedy genre because of the use of parties and the actor Jonah Hill who is mostly in Comedy movies due to his talent of humour. The movie I have chosen is not a sequel but is promoted by the director : Martin Scorsese who is known to be an award winner. The Oscar Nominees Jonah Hill and Leonardo Dicaprio also appeal to people who enjoyed previous movies.
Its All a Matter of Timing: The UK release date for this film was 17th of January 2014 and was a big hit in the theatres. The first trailer released was by Paramount Pictures (the one above) on the 16th of June 2013 (linking for the American release). Posters, like the one below, were released in time for this to advertise it.
It's a Social Thing: The rating for this movie (IMDB) is 8.3 which is successful for a movie which is Biographical. Also rated 77% on Rotten Tomatoes. "Amazing film which I enjoyed every single moment. However, I think that it should contain less swearing!!" Sammy.
"Little bit too dramatic but hilarious!!" Sitman123,
Risky Business: The original budget for this film was set at $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars). The film made just under $24 million dollars in the first weekend which was 'A success'. In total, the film earned $300m in the World Wide Box office.
Stars in Their Eyes: The director has previously directed films such as Shutter Island (also casting Dicaprio). Beforehand, he had directed films in the same genre (biographic) such as Goodfellas. Most films ended in a wide spread success. The main star in this film, Leonardo Dicaprio has starred in Shutter Island, Titanic, The Great Gatsby, Inception and The Departed (also directed by Martin Scorseses). Most of the films are similar to this, including rich people, dramas and crime. All the main stars and the director are mentioned in the trailer because all of them have good reputations which will attract people to this movie.
"But then again – I guess it is a comedy. So the infamous Quaalude scene is not horrific but rather hilarious, the scenes of excess and of criminality are not equally appealing and repulsive " Anonymous
"This film repulsed me and made me feel sick at many point - I do not recommend this for any children as they would loose their clean (if so) minds which i would be appalled about. Leonardo Dicaprio should be ashamed at his work - it was terrible and really awkward!" LizzyAn
