As a professional lumber broker I personally LOVED that movie.
It reminded me of several people I have known as a broker over the last 40 years.
People that made a lot and SPENT a lot. Then a few years later were out of the business entirely. Never to be heard from again.
I have known people who are the most likeable extrovert personality types you will ever meet. I still work with one. He is the human version of a golden retriever. NEVER has a bad day. Is always positive.
The Wolf of Wall Street was an extreme version of the hey day of the Wall Street broker. Similar to the movie Wall Street. We all wanted to find our Gorden Gecko back in the 80s.
