third act takes apart everything that comes before, thats generally his structure with his crime flicks.

how can folks watch Casino and glorify Ace and Nicky

That’s good ol 1970s style romance

Can film even be problematic

Films depict problematic characters in problematic situations

All the time

Does that make film problematic

Slave movies probably gotta stop

As the joke goes who are those even for

Last Tango in Paris. Marlon raped a woman on screen

Uhhhhh American History X 💀

It's intentional. Martin is putting the lens on both Jordan Belfort AND the audience for cheering him on because it's a road that goes downhill as shown by the end of the film.

you're confused. I'm confused. somehow they do it.

i just assume the focus on all the other s*** and all the negatives are a footnote or a "but" type thing. "yeah he was making millions and doin all this, but he got caught up, ppl had to snitch and he lost everything" type of mindset. idk

like it's easy to just enjoy the movie and leave with the fun s*** and not really pay attention to the whole "rise and fall of scummy wall street conman" story it's telling. so if someone lacks media literacy and thinking skills, they aren't gonna understand how he's vilified and mostly see it in a positive light.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Airplane scene? I’m not one to be sensitive but that scene bonkers

you said it best Bro

nah, everything about this is great

Even the grooming a 17 yr old part?

It’s all about intent

Such a classic

how is it problematic when we are supposed to dislike the character and his actions??

so so sooo many ppl wished this movie would have been problematic and it wasnt lol.

they had police outside of screenings JUST IN CASE. insane time

literal top tier classic
