wolf of wall street representation

 The Wolf of Wall Street

How are American business men represented? Why?
They are shown as just wanting money and to buy expensive things that they don't need. It shows them also as people that scam other people for their money. Also they are shown as spoiled and greedy for money and reckless for how they spend the money.
How is the idea of the American Dream represented? Why?
The america dream is shown as just for the money and success in life. It is shown as only making a few people rich by gambling to become wealthy and teh rest seem poor and not have that much. This is shown as wasteful as in the trailer hes throwing money into a bin and the bin was almost full of money.
How are the 1980s represented? Is the film critical of a certain mentality or way of life? Why?
it shows how you can have not much in the beginning but in a few weeks or months you can have billions to spend so it shows how your lifestyle can change quickly. The 1980s are shown as the time when people would scam each others and it would be about the wealth and the stuff that you own.
 How are black characters represented? Why?
 in the trailer no black characters are shown and that could be showing what more higher class people thought of black people or that white people didnt want to associate with black people. Not seeing any black people besides one black waiter who serves someone at a higher classy restaurant. This can show that black people didtn ahve the access to the wealth that wall street gave other people.
How is the dwarf represented (person with a disability)? Why?
They are shown as not being respected and that they dont care about other peoples conditions. This shows that they only care about themselves and that they do it for their own pleasure and entertainment. They are treated like this because the money and power has changed what they think of other people because they think they can do what they want because they're rich.
How is the USA represented?  Why?
The USA are shown as not really caring because they let it go on for so long so it shows that people can get away with things that happen there and that they wont take action until it goes on for too long. That makes them seem a bit lazy because they dont do anything because theyre lazy.
How are women represented? Is the film sexist? Why?
I think that the movie is kind of sexist to women because they are only used for partys as strippers and people that they can have a one night stand with. Also the movie doesnt have any girls that are stock brokers so that makes them seem not as good because they purposely had all males work for him and become millionaires too
