Juichen voor de bad guy: ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ door de ogen van financiële professionals
Martin Scorseses nieuwe film The Wolf of Wall Street, over de veroordeelde fraudeur Jordan Belfort, draaide ook in een bioscoop in het hart van downtown Manhatten.
Anekdote ≠ data (uiteraard), maar toch:
Disturbing: Belfort’s decadence.
Equally disturbing: the finance-heavy audience’s gleeful reaction to his behavior and legal wrongdoings. […]
At one point later in the movie, the feds get Belfort to wear a wire to implicate others at his firm. Meeting with his No. 2, Belfort slides over a piece of paper: “Don’t incriminate yourself. I am wearing a wire.”
And the crowd goes wild. Don’t rat! Stand by your firm!
