film trailer and poster analysis


Central image:
The central image shows Leonardo Dicaprios character with his arms crossed and he's staring at the camera looking powerful and in the background you can see all of the co works behind him causing mayhem with him not caring. This gives the idea that his character doesn't care about anything and how he's makes him look rich because he's at work yet he's having party's. The clothes that he's wearing compared to all the people around him makes him look like the only mature hard working person in the building but hes also smirking almost likes hes better then everyone else because hes got what he wants hes got all his money and thats all he needs while looking straight at you . The audience would want his character to be like this because then in the movie it would have him causing chaos partying with naked women and getting drunk at work. This movie would seem to appeal more to males then females because more males are going to want to see him party with half naked women who can be classed as co works because they are like a part of his everyday job after everything is done and while hes drunk and still make money off it.

Title:
I think that the reason for this title is that wolfs are know as brave and do what ever they can to survive and the main character in this movie can be referred to on because of how he acts because he is all about the money and will do whatever he needs to just so he can make money.
Also the title 'The wolf of wall street' but the 'The wolf 'is in bold this part of the title could explain how he acts like the saying lone wolf in the movie he starts of by himself and how he makes money with his own hard work even though he scams rich people but the way that's bold 
could have something to do with his character. 

Release date:
it doesnt have a official release date but they could be doing that to make you keep checking to see when the movies coming out also the poster looks as if its going to be a good movie so that could make them want to watch it even more. so that might be why it says in cinemas soon because then you wont forget about the movie because you'll keep thinking if the movies out yet.
