Escape to the Movies: The Wolf of Wall Street

[themilo504]

considering how the movie is rated 16 I think I?ve seen worse in video games.

16? Either you're getting stuck with an edited version or the review system in your country doesn't mind a lot of sex and drugs (which could very well be the case; you don't have a country listed on your profile).

There's a LOT of sex in this. Like...a lot a lot. As one character eloquently put it in the film "girls today are hairless from the eyebrows down" and the film demonstrates this...multiple multiple times

(Note: I'm not saying you should skip it or anything. I'm sure you've seen much much worse. I'm just very surprised that this film could get anything other than a R or your countries equivalent unless it's been edited).

I live in the Netherlands which is pretty liberal when it comes to sex and drugs.

i don?t know or I should see this movie, if its really as funny as you say then I definitely want to watch this movie, but I?m also worried that I?m a bit too young to properly enjoy this movie(I?m 16).

considering the fact that you have to ask if you are too young for the movie - you are.
We live in a sad world... where an 16 year old isn't sure if he can handle the sex, drugs and violence in a movie...


I'm sure you are really excited for your 18th birthday - the day you can watch porn.

I just want to know if the movie is still funny if you aren?t an adult, it?s possible that I?m simply too young to get most of the jokes.

Still very sad... you think you don't understand jokes for adults??? I think you expect too much out of these 2 coming years.

Or is your problem that it plays in another time - in 1987? Because if you get older you probably won't learn more about that time... I don't see how. Also you life in the Netherlands - even if you would be an "adult" (= +2 years) you wouldn't know how it was in america...

You are missing out on a lot of movies if you limit yourself to 1997-2013 + Netherlands.

You are precisely 180 degrees wrong. If you want evil look the other way at Socialism and all its variants. Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Khmer Rouge all of whom murdered millions in the name of the state.

Since when was Nazi Germany socialist? It was a fascist regime. Similarly, the Soviets and Khmer Rouge were Communists. Don't let the facts bother you, I guess.

Luckily all these evil Socialist states no longer exist, but if you abhorrer the free market feel free to move to Venezuela or North Korea.

However, I suspect like all western socialists you enjoy the many benefits given to you by the free market and capitalism, and then use the comfort and free time it affords you to criticize it.

No Western developed country has a free market today, including the USA. In fact, the US economy has been successful and prosperous largely because of regulation of the market. A completely unregulated free market would be disastrous for people, and the market. Western countries are successful because they are mixed economies, blending capitalism, socialism and democracy. Different countries have different blends of these ingredients, but they all contain varying degrees of them, though.

Nice straw man, though. It's almost like you haven't updated your black & white Free Markets vs. Communism argument since the 1950s.

I suspect like all western free market supremacists, you enjoy many comforts of life such as clean air, labor laws and freedom of expression because of aspects of socialism, even though you criticise it.

Nazi = National Socialist ... an ideology combining the nationalism of the right and the socialism of the left.

So you're just going by the name, then? The Nazis' supposed "socialism" is nothing like what modern socialism is.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. There are countries which call themselves "People's Democratic Republic" where those terms don't apply. Just because a group calls themselves something, doesn't make it true. Much like "Christian Science" doesn't have anything to do with science.

You must be quite gullible if you take the names people give themselves at face value.

Nazi Party = National Socialist German Workers Party. The party was technically for socialists... but Hitler had other plans. 1930 the socialist split up with the Nazi Party when Otto Strasser left.


And by the way you maybe mixing up Kingbingo with me... just maybe.
