The film “The Wolf of Wall Street”, whose actors are Hollywood stars, was released in 2014 and was very positively received by both critics and viewers. Proof of success was the numerous nominations for prestigious awards, including an Oscar in five categories. The picture is based on the real story of a financial activist who founded a successful brokerage office in the late 1980s, but was convicted of money laundering ten years later . The script is based on his memoirs about his success.
Leonardo DiCaprio
One of the last successful projects of M. Scorsese is rightfully considered the painting “The Wolf from Wall Street”. The actors who starred in this tape were remembered by the audience for the wonderful game and the magnificent embodiment of their characters. The main role of the financial businessman Belfort was played by DiCaprio. During his turbulent creative life, he was nominated many times for the most prestigious awards, including the Oscar, which he finally received this year. In his track record is a huge number of excellent works. Even before the cult "Titanic", the actor established himself as a talented artist, starring in a number of successful projects, the most significant of which, perhaps, is the film "What Gilbert Grape Eats." And after participating in the famous blockbuster of D. Cameron, the artist starred in many beautiful paintings of a very different genre. Particularly fruitful was his collaboration with the director Scorsese. The picture under consideration is the fourth in their joint activity.
Jonah Hill Feldstein
The movie “The Wolf from Wall Street”, whose actors very organically and successfully fit into their roles, was nominated in the category “Best Film of the Year”, which is perhaps the main indicator of its success. The role of the financial assistant and partner of the protagonist was played by John Hill, who is also quite famous in world cinema, as evidenced by the fact that he was twice nominated for an Oscar. In addition, Hill is a successful screenwriter. This performer is well established primarily as a comedian performer. He began his career with small comic stage productions in one of the bars. At first, he got secondary roles in films of mainly comedic, almost farcical content. The artist received real recognition after his role in the drama "The Man Who Changed Everything." In addition, this year there was a comedy thriller with his participation, where he played the role of a fraudster who sold weapons.
Margot Alice Robbie
The movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” was remembered by the viewer with a colorful plot and magnificent soundtrack. The actors invited by the director to the main and secondary roles perfectly fit into the surroundings and atmosphere of this tape. The second wife of the main character Naomi was played by Margot Robbie, a performer of Australian descent, who gained fame thanks to her participation in famous TV shows. In addition, she proved herself well by playing in the rather famous love melodrama Boyfriend from the Future. This year, two films were released with her participation: an adaptation of DC comics and a rather free interpretation of the famous story about Tarzan. The role in the first picture seems to have brought her even greater success, despite the fact that the project itself did not satisfy the fans. But the incendiary Harley Quinn, apparently, came to everyone's taste. The second tape was not so successful, despite a strong advertising campaign.
Rob Rainer
The actors of the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” amazed the audience with both excellent performance and witty improvisations. The role of the father of the protagonist was played by Rainer - an American director, screenwriter and producer. His successful career began with participation in popular television projects, in particular in the TV series “Everything in the Family”. Then he began to speak with his own television show. He later established himself as a talented filmmaker. One of his most famous works is the comedy love melodrama Princess Bride, which is on the list of best films. In this movie, he has one of the key roles.
Kyle Chandler
Some actors of the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” were nominated for prestigious prizes and awards, which indicates Scorsese’s successful choice of performers of both primary and secondary characters. The role of the FBI agent Denham, who is obsessed with the idea of arresting the protagonist, was talented in Chandler. He is known to the mass audience for some successful television projects, primarily for the series “Tomorrow Comes Today”, where he played a rather interesting character - a person who mysteriously receives a newspaper a day earlier, due to which he can prevent the terrible events about which it reported.
Paul Jeffrey Byrne and John Burntal
The film “The Wolf of Wall Street,” whose actors and roles have already become iconic, has an interesting and original plot and an unusual manner of filming. The image of Nikki Coskoff was played by Paul Byrne. In his track record there are a number of interesting works, among which one can name first of all the picture “Obnoxious Bosses”. He also played in the popular series about artificial intelligence.
The actors (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), whose photos are presented in this review, created original images and memorable characters. John Burntall played the role of a cash courier. He is known to the mass audience primarily for his participation in television series, such as, for example, Daredevil. He began his career with participation in theatrical productions, which were awarded a number of prestigious awards. In addition to the specified television project, his track record has many works of this kind. He was good at both main and minor characters.
Christine Milioti
The actors of “The Wolf of Wall Street” are very popular in modern cinema. The wife of the protagonist occupies a prominent place in the story told by Scorsese. The first wife was played by Christine Milioti, who is better known as a performer of performances on Broadway. In addition, she is known to the mass audience by the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother”. For the play in theatrical productions, she was nominated for a prestigious award. She also got a role in the TV series Fargo. The colorful appearance of the actress brought her some fame in television circles. Milioti fits perfectly into the surroundings of the director's production. So, a whole gallery of interesting characters is presented in the movie “Wolf of Wall Street”. Actors (the wife of the protagonist in this series occupies one of the main places in the plot, since it was at her suggestion that Jordan establishes a small office that deals with money transactions) of this project are also known for many other popular films and series.
Joanna Lamond Lumley
This actress played the aunt of the second wife of the protagonist. The British performer appeared on large screens, first in a small episode about Agent Bond, and then in a series of films about Pink Panther. She also starred in the popular TV series "One by One", which brought her the greatest fame. She was twice awarded the prestigious BAFTA Award. In addition, Lumley is a well-known activist, a member of the Society for the Protection of Animals.
Cameo Belfort
The main actor portrayed his character very plausibly. The Wolf of Wall Street is a film based on real events. Therefore, it is not surprising that the director gave a small role to Belfort himself, whose financial affairs formed the basis of the picture. In the tape, he appeared in a small episode, portraying the organizer of the seminar. Belfort himself is currently really giving special courses on the topic of financial business. Such a move, obviously, was made in order to give the movie even more credibility and reliability. However, Scorsese is not the only one who does this. Other directors also resort to this technique to attract the attention of viewers and the press.
So, the film in question is certainly one of the most successful in Scorsese's tandem - DiCaprio. And although the latter did not receive an Oscar then, he won the Golden Globe. But most importantly, the movie appealed to the audience thanks to the spectacular reproduction of the situation of the late 1980s and a competent script. The events of the plot fit very well into the panorama of the end of the century, and the performers perfectly conveyed the spirit of the adventurous era. A great merit in this belongs to the director, who became famous for projects in which he recreated pictures of the past.
