“The Wolf of Wall Street” is an exceptional masterpiece presented by the golden team of Scorsese and DiCaprio.

“Wolf” becomes Wall Street’s darling with just three inches on the tip of his tongue.
However, something extraordinary happens to the market. October 19, 1987 -- The biggest stock market crash since 1929 (the Great Depression) occurred, known as "Black Monday." Belfort goes to great lengths to qualify as a regular broker, but on his first day on the job, he stumbles and is suddenly kicked out of Wall Street. But this is where the real action begins.
Belfort, who had to start over from scratch, first sought shelter at a small-cap investment center on Long Island that dealt in only penny stocks (low-value stocks). There, he shows off his Wall Street-trained (and natural) sales pitching skills, sells a large amount of crap stocks to customers on the tip of his tongue, and quickly becomes a hero at the company.
One day, Belfort, who had made a lot of money by selling scum stocks to scum, was approached at a diner by a man who lived in the same apartment building as Belfort. When he hears about Belford's rough monthly income, he immediately (on the spot!) quits his job as a furniture store clerk and switches to becoming a stockbroker.

This man is Donnie Azoff, who becomes Belford's bad boy sidekick. He is played by Jonah Hill. He recently released a wonderful directorial work called `` Mid90s Mid-Nineties '' (2018), and thanks to his brilliant performance as Azoff in this movie, he co-starred with Brad Pitt in `` Moneyball '' (11/Director: Bennett Miller). He was once again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Peter Brand, a young assistant general manager (this one is a serious elite, modeled on Paul DePodesta, the CSO of the NFL's Cleveland Browns).
Soon after, at the age of 26, Belfort established the ``Security Company Stratton Oakmont.'' The employees, including vice president Donny Azoff, are all suspicious neighborhood thugs and thugs. Belfort tells the salesmen, ``I'm going to turn you all into Captain Ahab,'' but they're all idiots who don't know the original Moby Dick (a novel by Herman Melville). Create a manual on your own speaking skills, train them, and have them copy your unparalleled sales pitches exactly as they are.
In this way, the company gained strength all at once and continued to make rapid advances, drawing in young people who were dazzled by money and rapidly expanding. The trick is to sell high-risk junk stocks to customers who have gained trust by selling safe stocks of top companies - a dirty (almost) fraudulent business. But in any case, Belfort rises to prominence and returns to Wall Street as a brazen general of a new force.
