[@karlmortoniv2951]

It seems to me that those wanting less emphasis on the drugs and other bad behavior to make the main character seem more palatable or tolerable, in “Wolf” as well as “Goodfellas” and other films, are missing the notion that Scorsese doesn’t want Jordan Belfort or Henry Hill to seem like a swell guy. He’s always (almost always) deliberately chosen subjects that a majority of the audience would not want to have round for dinner. This is especially true of “Killers of the Flower Moon” - Leonardo was originally going to play the straight-arrow lawman but both he and Scorsese decided they weren’t interested in that so Leonardo chose to play one of the most pathetic, deceitful bastards in Scorsesedom. I’m sure Scorsese has had this conversation multiple times with every studio exec in town and apparently he’s stuck to his guns, which I admire quite a bit. 😊

[@davidstevenson1933]

It is an interesting thing about Scorsese that his films often center on truly despicable characters who come off as "heroes" to a sizable chunk of the audience (Belfort, everyone in Goodfellas and Casino, LaMotta, even Travis Bickle). You could consider it a failure of filmmaking or just an inevitability. I am honestly not sure how I feel about it personally.

[@karlmortoniv2951]

@davidstevenson1933 I wonder if he even thinks about that when he develops scripts? Is it so baked into his sensibilities that it doesn't even enter his head now? Apparently, when he took over "Cape Fear" from Spielberg he said the first thing he wanted to do is mess up the marriage and the relationship with the daughter. Spielberg said when he heard that he thought, "Okay, that's gonna ten million less at the box office." Not sure I know of any other specific behind the scenes examples. 🤔

35:24: "The problem for me still (and I still felt like this in 'Goodfellas' and I feel like this in this movie as well) is by the end of the movie I stop caring about a lot of his characters. Or a lot of the people that he writes about." I hear you. I don't share the sentiment but I get it. I will say, with regards to Scorsese's filmography (at least from the films that I've sampled) is that there are a couple of outliers like "Hugo" and "After Hours", but for the most part his films tend to land somewhere between morally ambivalent and tragic. Based on what you've said I'd stay away from "Raging Bull" "Casino", "Taxi Driver", "The King of Comedy" and "The Irishman". But if you're looking for a movie with slightly more sympathetic characters then your best bets are probably going to be "After Hours", "Hugo", "Bringing Out the Dead", "Silence", "The Aviator", "Shutter Island", "Killers of the Flower Moon" and possibly "Gangs of New York". "Aviator", "Shutter", "Killers" and "Gangs" are headlined by Leonardo Dicaprio, if that helps any.

I think what i like about Scorsese films is that he's making a commentary on the gangster nature of American society. The people who succeed are the Jordan Belfours, and this is what their lives are like. You're not supposed to like them. The beginning of Goodfellas and Wolf of Wall Street is the glam. We see the "cool" and "fun" aspects of the lifestyle of the gangster. It's easy money and being willing to do whatever it takes to make it makes you worthy of taking it. That's capitalism. So Scorsese also is making a commentary on capitalism and it's gangster nature. I think it was Capone who said that what he liked about America was that "anything you can take, and keep, is yours." Then in the second half of the films we see "the fall" of our gangsters. Every empire crumbles. We could argue Scorsese is also making a commentary on the decline of American empire. Lots of Mafia themed media deals with these themes. The Sopranos tackles them as well. The Godfather movies. All of these movies and tv shows that I've mentioned are post modernist. Scorsese is a post modernist director. All these themes I've said he's exploring with his films are common themes explored in post modern media. The Godfather was one of the first post modernist films. I didn't expect to write a novel.

Even critiquing capitalist society the way Scorsese or Stone did has become a big no no, zoomers instead focusing on woke pandering and virtue signaling, the powers have succeeded in diverting any attention or focus away from socioeconomic divides and the abuse of the power elite.

Great reaction Natalie, like always. This movie stands as a testament to the storytelling power of cinema when it intersects with real-life events. Its basis in truth allows the audience to not only witness the extremes of human behavior but also to reflect on the broader implications and lessons that extend beyond the screen. And there are some fun facts about this movie, Jordan Belfort was inspired by Tommy Chong to write the book, of all the people to thank for the existence of The Wolf of Wall Street, actor and stoner icon Tommy Chong is the guy who ultimately made it happen. Chong served a jail sentence in the same Californian prison as Jordan Belfort and the two were cellmates. And according to Business Insider, Belfort told Chong stories from his career on Wall Street during their jail stay together and Chong encouraged him to collect those stories into a memoir- which became the basis for the movie. Before Martin Scorsese became interested in the project, in a interview a producer reported that Ridley Scott was interested in directing an adaptation of The Wolf of Wall Street with Brad Pitt playing Jordan Belfort. Leonardo DiCaprio had been desperate to play Jordan Belfort since reading his book, Jonah Hill took a pay cut for the opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese, On an episode of The Howard Stern Show, Jonah Hill says that he was so desperate to work with favorite director Martin Scorsece, also saying Goodfellas is his favorite movie and that he was willing to take a pay cut for the opportunity to work with him. One of the most iconic scenes in this movie sees Matthew McConaughey’s character thumping his chest and humming, which wasn't in the script. In fact, it’s McConaughey’s own scene preparation ritual and he does it before every take. And according to McConaughey, Leonardo DiCaprio suggested including it in the movie and Scorsese decided to throw it in. Since this was just the second week of filming, DiCaprio claims it set the tone for the rest of the shoot. Whenever one of the characters in the movie snorts cocaine- which is almost as frequent an occurrence in the movie as someone dropping an f-bomb, the actors are actually snorting crushed-up B vitamins, Jonah Hill revealed that he contracted bronchitis from inhaling so much and had to be hospitalized. Most of the dialogues in the movie was improvised, the scene in which Jordan tries to get home from the country club as the Quaaludes set in was entirely improvised on the day. It was DiCaprio’s idea for Jordan to open the car door with his foot, though that had to be the only take, since he sprained his foot doing it. And in that scene where a female employee of his firm has her head shaved in front of hundreds of men hooting like animals so she might get $10,000 for a boob job. I watched that scene thinking, "They didn't fake this. This woman was absolutely shaved." And i later found out that her name is Natasha Newman Thomas. She's a Los Angeles-based stylist, and this beautiful women gave up her locks solely for the cinema. Keep up the good work.

I agree with you about Scorsese as a director. A film that came out at the same time as Goodfellas, and got lost a little in the hype around that film, was Miller's Crossing by the Coen Brothers. It is, for me, one of the Coen's best films and one you might appreciate.

[@MuskratMaster]

You just can't put Scorsese down by wathing 3 of his films... 😭 There is a lot great and different ones to see. Shutter Island, Taxi Driver, Silence, Hugo, Aviator, Bringing Out The Dead, Casino, Gangs Of New York, Cape Fear etc... Please don't give up on him!! And also, does a good film need to be rewatchable? I don't think so. Now, that just me of course.

[@jsmithers.]

It seems like to her, their has to be redeemable or good characters, or the story itself has to be uplifting. If those things aren't satisfied, she will never enjoy the movie.

[@Cifer77]

You know Nat is a genuinely nice person when she only gets the most enjoyment out of movies when the story has someone who is also genuinely nice, and therefor lets her care about the person lol Essentially, if she can't care about the character, she can't even be interested in their story lol

[@leob4403]

That's rather the hallmark of an emotionally immature person

[@theqtherguy]

your censorship is more entertaining than the actual scenes 😂

[@_ripVanWinkle_]

Wolf on Wall Street ending with the faces of Sheep is poetic

[@HeartzOfDiamondz]

Lmao you clearly have a different sense of humor tho because I was dying in the plane scene ! HILFE !🤣🤣🤣

[@MrEvenStranger]

LOVE the captions over the content that was unable to be shown!

[@mdacostatuff7762]

Totally agree on the unique feel of scorsese, but I would really recommend watching some of his other less famous films. He really has massive range and films like silence and last temptation of christ really showcase his sensibilities. It actually helped me appreciate his other more "scorsese-ism" style movies like goodfellas.

[@chaost4544]

1:16 where does the time go? It's hard to fathom the 90's were thirty years ago.

[@ZrankFappaH]

Such an amazing movie and always makes me wanna get on a coke binge 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@crazycatlady6226]

Relatable

[@danielwayneb]

Always a delight to watch your reactions and this didn't disappoint. And don't worry about being a square, Natalie; not everyone is into drugs of those sorts after all. It's also refreshing to hear that you don't always conform to public opinion regarding certain filmmakers and their works.

[@zphs7219]

Fun fact, at the very end that was the real Jordan Belfort introducing Leo at the seminar!

[@joshpeveto805]

Him trying to crawl to his car from the country club is one of my favorite scenes in any movie lol

[@XXX_Carnage_XXX]

Actually believe it or not, many people who worked on wall street confirm the parties, drugs, sex and behaviour for this time is accurate. In fact for the movie it was actually dialed down, it was much worse in real life and the guy at the end who introduced Leo in the seminar is the real Jordan Belford

[@justincecilstudio3506]

You might like the movie "Hugo" which was also directed by Scorsese and is a lot different story-wise from a bunch of his movies. It's about a little orphan boy in Paris who ends up meeting one of the first film directors. Scorsese has also directed a bunch of documentaries, including concert films featuring Neil Young and The Rolling Stones.

[@rubvillaz]

Shutter Island, Aviator - might be up your alley. Very good Scorsese films that aren’t about anti-protagonists. Maybe Cape Fear, Hugo, Casino (possibly). You’ve only watch 2 films of his, theres clearly more he made that isn’t about mob, drugs, etc. Hugo is literally a children’s movie lol

[@RyanESmail]

This was THE ONE that all of us thought was going to get Leo his Oscar, and truly I do think this is one of, if not his best true acting role I’ve ever seen. You know, where his acting was better than the actual story itself

[@michaelragnarsson3476]

Sounds like you'd enjoy the movie 'Blow' with Johnny Depp. Has a similar story to Wolf or Goodfellas, based on a real cocaine kingpin, but has far more likeable/redeemable characters and more of a character development.

[@curtiszyr]

11:07 dude is the definition of “ I luh the game , i luh the hustle” lmao 😂

[@waka1834]

Do not get it twisted, because this movie revitalized his image, jordan belfort IS A SCAM ARTIST and a bad dude, and this movie basically allowed him to get back into doing it again nowadays

[@Dene181]

This is such a tragic, wild, interesting and funny movie, yet beside all the great scenes, the "sell me that pen" one just sticks in my head. 👌 Well.. and Margot Robbie, for reasons. 👀😁 Love the reaction! ❤

[@gs19022]

Scorsese has a lot of different types of film though, Shutter Island is one that I'm sure you'd love it and it's a mystery/psychological thriller. Plus, other films like Hugo, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Aviator, King of Comedy and the recent Killers of The Flower Moon are all pretty distinct and probably more to your liking. It just happens that some of his most popular ones are his crime/mob films, which to me are his least interesting ones.

[@Drax514]

Don't even bother, her minds already made up. Scorsese just does violent, over the top movies, completely ignoring the rest of his like two dozen movie filmography thats literally all critically acclaimed and widely varied in genre and tone. It's just stupidity. Forget it.

[@sebastianquezada2082]

Natalie describing the airplane scene is actual gold 😂😂😂

[@carlucciomov]

I'd love to see you react to a non-crime Scorsese movie, with more empathetic characters. The Aviator, The Age of Innocence, Shutter Island, After Hours, and Raging Bull are all worth a watch 🙌🏼 Love your channel! Keep it up 🔥

[@ZandrickKrowe]

I’m so here for this! Love you ❤

[@gettygermany]

I hated Leonardo DICaprio nearly all my life, for real, I hated his face, i hated his acting, I just was totally not having it. But at some point you just have to give up and accept that he is actually a VERY good actor and a force in the industry. There is no real reason to hate him and he always picks the right movies. He LITERALLY faught with a bear to get his oscar, lets start giving him the respect he deserves :D

[@ninja_tony]

I never hated him, but I totally dismissed him for so many years, because I thought he was just vastly overrated because he was attractive. I was completely wrong of course. Once I saw how great he actually is, I realized I had missed out, and now I would say he’s one of my favorite actors. Especially for films like this.

[@nikeboy921]

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for you to do Wolf of Wall Street for so long!!!

[@wallyjackson9543]

So basically nat spent the whole movie just hating these clearly chaotic characters and taking everything they’re doing to heart instead of just having fun with it lol

[@atharvaingulkar6467]

29:49 Lmao, the way she reacted when Leo hit Margot but was completely normal when Morgot hit Leo at first

[@SidPhoenix2211]

You should 100% check out "Killers of the Flower Moon", Scorsese's latest film. It is definitely a pretty different tale, with a different tone than what you'd maybe expect from his work. Much more akin to "Silence" than, say, "Goodfellas". If you dig DiCaprio in movies, it is def a good one for ya. And it is totally fine if ya don't like the tone of Scorsese's movies, or if you don't connect with them. I just think that his movies are worth checking out. And ofc, not everything will work for everyone. I do hope that people aren't giving you a hard time about it lol.

[@wilkjames35]

I laughed too hard at the "at least there was no crying babies on board that plane" lmao !!!!!

[@davidblack7625]

Hey Natalie give some of Scorsese's non stereotypical movies a shot. I'm not a huge fan of his mob movies or violence forward films either, but if you check out age of innocence and cape fear I think you'll see his sophistication and range as a director. Happy watching!

[@simonrockstream]

Really interesting discussion at the end Natalie, really enjoyed that part actually!

[@NickInSanDiego]

I appreciate your take and honesty on this movie and Scorsese movies in general. For movies, like all art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If ever you decide to revisit Scorsese, I might suggest The Aviator, Scorsese’s first teaming with DiCaprio. A biopic about Howard Hughes. To me an interesting story about a mogul, with flaws definitely that are shown in the movie. A complicated man but also a dreamer. Great cinematography, sound, and some great artistic shots. And a character that I feel you might empathize with a little more than some of Scorsese’s other “Protagonists”.

[@direyouth653]

2 things I found out about this movie recently after watching it again. 1. The monologue that Matthew did in the beginning where he was humming & hitting his chest was random, you can notice Leo looking at Martin thinking “what is this… what’s going on?” and they never cut they just kept rolling & it made it into the film. 2. When Jonah Hill got punched in the face, he legitimately got punched in the face & his fake teeth broke & face swelled up cause of how hard he got hit.

[@vinny5727]

I used to watch this movie every single day for a whole year, during sophomore year in high school.

[@KoolAidManOG]

The audience at the end is the audience who is watching the movie. For all of the horror people may feel watching Jordan Belfort doing his thing, even the moralizing people might do watching it, many of those same people would love to be in his position. The contradiction at the end is what makes the film a masterpiece, I genuinely don't think the movie would be the same without it.

[@CallOfCutie69]

31:03 Donnie took the paper and ratted Jordan out.

[@keyaankassam378]

It's always fun to watch movies with you, Natalie 🙂 You might enjoy Hugo (2011) as it's quite a departure from Scorsese's usual works in that it's the first family film that he ever directed. The Irishman (2019) is another mob movie by him but instead of emphasising the adrenaline The Irishman is a very human and sober film; it's more about reflection, regret and existentialism.

[@LexK137]

I think "I just wanted these scenes to end" was the point of those scenes. The whole point is how awful this person and their lifestyle was.

[@chriswinter8511]

The guy at the very end introducing Leo to the crowd was the actual Jordan Belfort.

[@bumblebear5536]

This was a surprise watch for me and a friend. I can't remember how much of the movie I was aware of, but I'm pretty sure it was one I wanted to watch in theaters but ultimately missed out on doing so. One night we had gone out off base and ended up at Walmart, we were looking for a movie to watch and asked an employee what he would recommend, he recommend this one so we took it and watched it in my room; we were immediately into it when the boobies were up on screen haha

[@heybrandon88]

Leo deserving an Oscar: (not titanic, fight me). 1. Gangs of New York. 2. The Departed. 3. Django. 4. Gilbert grape. The Revenant, an okay film, Leo performed amazingly as usual, hot take, not an award winning film or performance.

[@TheBadgertwo]

Fun fact, you commented on the editing a couple times and in case you didn't know, Thelma Schoonmaker was the editor for 21 Scorsese films with this one being the last one she did. Pretty much all of his movies since then have felt totally different. She was instrumental in the Scorsese style.

[@jarrodkingsley6242]

Since this film she has edited more Scorsese films: Silence (2016), The Irishman (2019) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

[@miras2183]

Fun fact the guy presenting Leo in the end is the real Jordan Belford

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Natalie, Please give Scorsese a few more chances as I get the feeling that it's more to do with the subject matter than the Director per se, I recommend: "After Hours" 1985, "The Age of Innocence" 1993, "Shutter Island" 2010, "Taxi Driver" 1976, there are many other of his films which I could recommend but I think these are some of his better ones.

[@Little1Cave]

I’ll add Hugo (2011) to that list as well!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@Little1Cave Yes, that's a great film by him too.

[@bigwoke5956]

6:51, Literally just guys when we run out of topics

[@barcode329]

Hope you watch Scorsese's Silence! I think that'd be more your cup of tea!

[@GConFilm]

Been waiting for you to see this one. I remember watching it and doing a double header with The Great Gatsby on Christmas Day and not a lot of people were expecting the debauchery, excess and overall craziness that TWOFS presented. But Marty does it for a reason, after watching it many times you understand that like Goodfellas...no one is rewarded for this behavior and the actions in the story, that's the whole point. Margot coming into this and blowing EVERYONE away and going toe to toe with Leo speaks to her presence and skills as an actress (besides her looks) that we've all been enjoying for the last ten years. Plus besides Leo, Margot and Jonah Hill...not a lot of people talk about Kyle Chandler and his subtle performance as the agent working on his case. The whole supporting cast is really well selected, Bernthal, Spike Jonez, Rob Reiner and Jon Favreau all perform really well. And I don't think there's been any other actor who has a bigger impact in less than 10 minutes than Mathew McConaughey does in this, absolutely incredible energy that not too many actors can duplicate.
