It appears that “The Wolf of Wall Street” has already won the F awards and I thought they were going for the Oscars. This film has more F…. words in it then any movie ever made. I haven’t seen the film yet so I’m not sure if this was needed to make the film “authentic” but I have my doubts.
As a film-maker I seek to bring the viewer into the world of the character but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be in every scene for it to be real. A film can be authentic without being gratuitous. It’s a fine line for any film-maker but movies with tough issues like “The Black Swan” and “The Godfather” weaved it quite well.
