Firstly, the main plot of the movie and economic disaster that one individual created was brilliantly made and it was spread throughout the whole movie. It's sadly a (perfect) reflection of real life and its economic melt-down mainly coming from Wall Street, but in this case -- just in a minor observation.

The most interesting part - for me anyway - isn't just how the film shows everything that is wrong with society, but more the fact that we enjoy the trip. We laugh and we are jaloux of his lifestyle. Hell, we almost adore him. Only to realize, of course, that we shouldn't. And still, even after he gets convicted and goes to jail, he still finds people who are willing to buy his bullshit. Ultimately, we haven't learned anything.

Totally agreed, but only if that 'enjoy the trip' goes strictly for the movie, because I sure as hell do not enjoy this lol. But yea, you sum it up pretty well, the ending. How did you like it overall?

By "Enjoy the trip" I mean that we enjoy watching them do these crazy things. We aren't repelled by his actions and moral as much as we should be. I quite liked the movie in general, but I don't think it's a masterpiece. I'm really not sure how much I really like it to be honest. I need to watch it again. Probably around 8/10, I think.

I'm definitely not watching this movie.

Of course not - it's a movie.

But we are repelled in the end. The point is that deep down we know the whole thing is wrong all the way, but it is only when it is shoved in our face that we actually feel disgust against this person. We are manipulated into enjoying the ride just like Jordan is manipulating everyone around him.

Well who didn't see all that coming?

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."

Haven't watched a single one of those movies

I saw 12 year a slave, was top notch, want to see wolf on wallstreet in cinema, and dl American hustle(I fell asleep and left at a pre - screening for it). Bale and Lawrence in same movie I gotta see.

This is some Turk/Rus shit.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - Pretty surprised by this one, turned out be a good movie.

This is turning out to be one of the best years for good movies in a while.

It's difficult. It's a good movie but there's not special about it aside from Daniel Bruhl. It was made to appeal as large an audience as possible, the same thing did in The Butler.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Have you seen it?

 

[Nzoric]

Don't tell me you wouldn't want to come on Amy Adams face. Damn.

 

[JuveJay]

Has there been an Oscars in the last 30 years when Meryl Streep hasn't been nominated?

 

[Klovn]

^ Damn good movie. Mads was sick.

Haven't watched it yet.

There's actually 3 Danish films in there (source: Politiken). Besides Jagten there is the short film Helium and The Act of Killing which is produced in Denmark (if you count that as Danish).

Nice.

 

[Enron]

Have you seen it?

Not yet, that one and Wolf are the last two I need to see.
