The Wolf of Wall Street is a great movie. To me, DiCaprio’s best performance by far and kudos to his agent for crafting this opportunity with Scorsese and the producers.

If you are a manager or a business person, and if you have watched this movie more than once you might have noticed that some parts of it felt different. You’ve got scenes from different angles. You have formed different opinions about them. You’ve got small details that passed unnoticed before.

This movie is so rich in all aspects of modern life that none of us can get its entirety in one sit. We will need to watch it many times.

Even the exact same scenes may change as you age. Those strange corporate rituals may look nonsensical to young people who don’t have enough “professional mileage”. If you do have mileage, chances are you have already seen or lived those experiences right there in person.

So it’s all about resonance.

I decided to write this after watching a scene from the movie on YouTube. I noticed something different because I could understand the underlying subtleties of what the characters were doing in the firm and how dirty illegal it was. Something I was completely oblivious about when I watched the movie years ago. So that scene was totally different to me. New scene from an old movie.

I know this might be a common feeling and can happen with in virtually any movie that we see, no matter if it is a Scorsese masterpiece or a CGI junk from Netflix. I understand.

But The Wolf of Wall Street just seems to be too rich on detail. The entire modern life is in there. The entire corporate America is there. Everything seems to be in there.

And, the best part of this, what we see in it will always change as we do.
