慾望無底洞

播放地點：Pacific Theatres, The Grove, Los Angeles, CA

上映之前去看了學校提供的預播機會，整個劇場都坐滿了SCA的學生和一些知名影評家、媒體等。
有Leonardo DiCaprio參演的電影果然錯不了，裡面還有我蠻喜愛的胖胖Jonah Hill，他們倆與其他演員的演技都超棒，各種誇張搞怪，我被笑噴好多次。全場也是爆笑聲不斷。故事以真實人物事件改編，導演馬丁 Scorsese把影片拍得還算有深度，爆笑過後引人深思。

「The story of the 'Wolves of Wall Street' who ran a $200million stock market scam is about to hit the big screen after being turned into a blockbuster starring Leonardo Di Caprio.
But Jordan Belfort and Danny Porush, the real-life fraudsters behind the audacious crime who between them spent five years in prison, are also living Hollywood lifestyles after setting up lucrative new businesses after their release from jail, it was revealed today.
Porush lives in a $4million home and drives a Rolls-Royce convertible, while Belfort has been hanging out with Di Caprio, who is playing him in the film, directed by Scorsese.

However, after the FBI caught up with them in 1996, Belfort spent 22 months in prison while Porush was sentenced to 39 months.
Belfort, 50, has written a pair of memoirs detailing his past misdeeds, The Wolf of Wall Street in 2008 and 2009's Catching the Wolf of Wall Street.

'It's easier to get rich quick when you don't follow the rules,' he told the 紐約 Post this week - but he is adamant that he has not profited from his crimes.
He claims that all the proceeds of his book are going directly to the victims of the Stratton Oakmont fraud.
'I'm a wolf who became a more benevolent character,' he said. 'I refuse to glorify my past.'
The memoirs are currently being adapted into a Hollywood film, The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Di Caprio, Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey, due to come out later this year.

Belfort bonded with Di Caprio during the filming of the movie, and said: 'I have tremendous respect for him.'
The former scammer lives in California and now makes a living giving motivational speeches, including talks on 'wealth creation' and corporate training.
Porush, 56, has started a business selling medical supplies in 佛羅里達, and appears to be able to support a glitzy lifestyle on its proceeds.
He lives with his second wife 麗莎 in a $4million mansion, and the couple drive matching Rolls-Royce Corniche cars.
'I would never try to profit from a crime I』m so remorseful for,' he told the Post.」

華爾街——金錢，名利，慾望。電影中每個人的眼睛中都透露著人類那種原始的本能，惡的一面，這種本能不斷的在被擴大，膨脹，隨之散播至四方。在影片結尾，Jordan在一次銷售演講中讓聽眾來賣一隻筆，他那種充滿慾望與野心的眼神望向人群，而人群投射來的目光是對金錢的無限渴望。我可以感受到在他們之中有純良的人，但是，最終都會被華爾街馴化成像Jordan一樣的華爾街狼。

這部電影讓我想起一本自傳體小說《癮》，男主角同樣是賺錢高手，沉迷於毒品與情色中無法自拔，但是這本書的主導是讓你看到金錢的可怕之處，因果報應，理解何為真愛。

而這部電影讓我體會到的是，只有做有錢人才可以在這個社會上立足，金錢至上，有了錢，人變得狂妄無比：我不需要真愛，我可以拿錢去唾棄世間一切真善美。——這也是我現在對這個社會的感慨，現在的人變得越來越浮躁、勢利、自私、自負，越來越不重視事物內在的東西，也越來越不在乎自己的精神世界，非常坦然的違背著道德與良心做事情，這就是追求金錢與名利的結果，都變成了麻木不仁的金錢奴隸。但是我相信整個社會體系是個不斷的輪迴，終有一天，人類自食其果，自毀到一定程度後，人類的思想又會進化到一個新的階段，開始反思自己的行為，再一次認識到自己造成的惡果後，還會有場文藝復興般革命，希望有生之年我可以趕上那場未來的革命！
