116214, Boiler Room told the story from the average broker perspective
Posted by j., Sun Jan-19-14 12:42 PM
I know it was a weak ass flick trying to be all "hip hop stocks" and Affleck trying to be Baldwin in GGR, but it showed a small glimpse of Belfort
(the boss in BR was based on him)
The dude in WoWS that gets chumped for cleaning his fish bowl on new issue day, to me that was Ribisi's character in BR
It dragged at the end but like someone said it's Goodfellas with stocks. Belfort reduced to motivational speaking is his "I get to live like a schnook" ending
