The thing about Wolf of Wall Street, is that I don't feel like it needed more depth to it's story. It was basically a story that we all have seen before. The rise and fall of a very determined person and the excesses that they go through. It was similar to the rags to riches story of Scarface and all the other movies that have similar stories. I'm glad that the main focuses of the movie was on the excesses part because we have seen this numerous times before. We know he's going to rise and then eventually fall.


Yesterday I went to see Nebraska and I was so pleased to see that movie. One minor thing that bothered me about the cinematography. I get that they used black and white to showcase how bleak life is out in Nebraska but some of those cloud shots I wish I could have seen the beautiful blue hues of looking up at the sky and the white from the clouds. I wish they would have shown some color just for those scenes. I really went in expecting this movie to be more of a drama with few light moments but it was more of a heart warming comedy.
