The Wolf of Wall Street represents Americans Businesses in
the 1980's as corrupt and busy. This is because it’s about a company that
abuses their use of money to live their life illegally by taking drugs and the
FBI try to gather as much evidence to prove he is guilty but he is clever
enough to erase that he was involved in almost all crime taking place in their
city. Also the film is very sexist as they use many female actors and are used
as "hookers" and prostitutes which introduce a lot of explicit content.
This could imply that they referred to women as "objects" back in the
1980's, This is inappropriate because is it true that everyone is equal as
women are referred as "objects" is very sexist and stereotypical.
This movie also represents the 1980's as crooked and shady because the movies
contains a lot of drugs and explicit content which could influence young
teenagers that this is what America used to look like. This movie also does not
consist of a lot of black people because in the 1980's there was a lot of racism.
This represents that during this period, Americans were very biased and racist. This also gives the American Dream a bad name because it goes against everything the American Dream goes for. This is because it represents the stereotypical fact that Americans are lazy and greedy.
Some good ideas but it's too rushed -please check accuracy. Eg you have said 'the FBI need to prove he is guilty' when you have not said anything about who HE is! Try and structure your answer more clearly - start with the protagonist. How are men represented in this film? How are upper classes represented? How are bankers represented? Eg Disloyal, corrupt, money-orientated, selfish and shallow. When?
ReplyDeleteIn addition, your comments are better about women but you need specific examples from the trailer and don't give your own opinion about this being inappropriate (although it's encouraging that you believe that!) Just say what you see and don't stray into the rights and wrongs of it. Think WHY the female characters are flatter, less developed characters than the males.
PS in the 1980's there was not necessarily 'a lot of racism' That is far too generalised a statement to make. Instead, focus on the fact that the focus is on successful, wealthy, middle class white men as this is the stereotype usually associated with the stock market environment at that time.
