Movies you're watching

Next up The wolf of wall street (2013) a Docudrama/dark comedy Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a rags to riches to story that eventually leads to his downfall. A cracking movie, strong performances from all the actors and an entertaining story that's both interesting and humorously delivered with a good slice of sexy thrown in for good measure. Well worth a watch.

As great of a movie that is, I think too many people got the wrong message from it. You see guys on social media all the time wanting to be LIKE Jordan Belfort, dude, no!!! The entire movie is basically showing how much of a POS he was while ruining the lives of so many people. He did it with great style and flair, as the movie shows, but at the end of it all, nothing he did made him a good person in real life. He seems better now and truly apologetic for his actions, but the message of the movie definitely went over so many people's heads.

That reminds me of this picture I saw today:

Fight Club is another example of a movie where people idolize the main character even though the entire movie is about how terrible he is.
