WIFE and I were actually able to score a baby sitter and take a few hours off, we opted out of a fancy dinner for a few hours of mind candy and went to see Wolf of Wall Street.
The story is based on the life of Jordan Belfort a Wall Street guy who had nothing, then made millions just to spend excessively, take drugs, have a lot of sex and cheat on his wife, I’m not giving away anything.
It’s a great movie, worth the time. In one particular scene, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie are on their first “date” (DiCaprio plays Belfour and is married) anyway they end up back at her place and Robbie’s character takes it all off for DiCaprio as well as the audience, she is n-e-k-e-d and fiiinnee!
After the movie as we drove home, I asked WIFE, “as a woman when you see a scene like that, what goes through your head?” I was hoping for “it made me so hot, I want you here and now!”
What I got was “All I could think about was what her parents must think of that? She has a dad and now he has to see her completely naked, it’s kind of sad.” Then she turned the tables on me and asked, “What did you think?”
“Same thing,” was my answer. What I wanted to say was “ Why didn’t they shoot that scene in 3D, oh my God, she is amazing, I can’t believe she and Betty White are the same species! Man, why can’t we freeze the movie just for 6 minutes!”
After that the conversation ended before I said something stupid. However I decided to keep the conversation going in my head here’s how it goes.
The Scene Where DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are freaking out on Quaaludes and trashing his house-
WIFE- I can’t believe those two would behave like that with kids in the house. They are a disgrace! However, those white counter tops are beautiful.
DAD– I miss my college roommate. Falling down is funny!
The Scene where Belfour and his buddies are trashing a Vegas hotel room full of naked hookers and drugs-
WIFE- He’s going to be getting married and this is how he is behaving! Who does that?
DAD- I bet Martin Scorsese gets a lot of tail, even for an old guy. God! I miss my college roommate! I wonder if WIFE would let me go to Vegas?
The Scene where DiCaprio is on his yacht trying to bribe the FBI-
WIFE- He has no morals at all! He thinks money can buy anything. Shame on him!
DAD– If I had a boat like that I would spend the entire day naked, eating lobster and mooning the Statue of Liberty.
The Scene where DiCaprio is driving his Lamborghini high-
WIFE-That is so dangerous! He doesn’t care about anything but himself.
DAD- That car is so sweet! Does Leo pick his movies by his wardrobe and the cars he gets to drive? Man my life sucks!
The scene where DiCaprios’ character tries to make out with his wife’s aunt.
WIFE- That poor woman, what an animal. I love the royals, I bet Kate and I would be friends, she seems to down to earth.
DAD- I wonder if I cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn and put my junk in it, would she scream?
So maybe we see things from a different perspective, we both enjoyed the movie, no matter what we took away from it.
