Plot: The movie tells the story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker, who loses his job in a Wall Street firm, then he starts working in a boiler room brokerage firm, which is specialized in penny stocks (“common stock, usually highly speculative, selling for less than a dollar a share.”), when Jordan starts working there he starts getting a small fortune, because of the high commissions and his style. Then he befriends with Donnie Azoff and they start their own company, which is called “Stratton Oakmont”, in no time they start to get lots of money, and with the money comes a lot of power, and with great power comes great responsibility.

My Opinion: I didn´t like the movie so much. The movie is very repetitive, I mean, it´s got like 10 minutes of story the rest is just drugs and sex, but, it´s very interesting seeing how they got so much money and it´s really cool to see how money changes people.

Did you know? : The movie is actually based on real events.

Pygmalion.

George Bernard Shaw: Shaw was a Irish play writer and co-founder of the “London School of Economics”. Shaw was born in 26/7/1856 in Dublin, Ireland. In 1876 he moved to London, where he wrote regularly, but, he struggled financially. In 1895 he became o theater critic for the “Saturday Review”, then he began to write plays. The play Pygmalion was made into a film, which won the Oscar. Shaw wrote over 60 plays and won a lot of awards, one of them being the Nobel Prize of literature in 1925.

Summary: Pygmalion, written in 1912 by Bernard Shaw, and first performed 2 years later. Pygmalion tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who bets his friends he can pass off a poor girl with a Cockney accent as a duchess by teaching her to speak with an upper accent.

Act 1: One rainy night in London's Covent Garden market, a crowd of people gathers in front of the church to wait out the storm. Among them are two ladies (Mrs. Eynsford Hill and Miss Eynsford Hill), Freddy, their son/brother, a flower girl (Eliza Doolittle), a gentleman (Colonel Pickering), and The Note Taker (Henry Higgins). A tumult starts after Eliza mistakes Higgins for a police officer and protests her innocence. Higgins steps forward and reveals himself to be a linguist. He and Pickering, another linguist who is in town to see Higgins, introduce themselves. Higgins tells Pickering he could turn Eliza into a duchess in six months. The two give Eliza some money, and she takes a cab home.

Act 2: The next day, Higgins and Pickering are sitting in Higgins's laboratory when Eliza comes in and demands speech lessons. Pickering bets Higgins he can't turn Eliza into a duchess; Higgins takes the bet. Mrs. Pearce, Higgins's housekeeper, is a bit disturbed, but she can't do anything. Alfred Doolittle, Eliza's father, comes in and demands some cash in exchange for the right to teach his daughter. He's a smooth talker and he's soon got the money, but his exit is interrupted by the appearance of Eliza, now clean (and beautiful). Everyone gapes in awe, Doolittle leaves, and Higgins and Pickering decide they've got a lot of work to do.

Act 3: A couple months pass. Higgins visits his mother and asks for her help. Mrs. Higgins is having a party, and he wants to bring Eliza along to it to see if she can handle herself like a lady in public. Mrs. Higgins objects, but Eliza comes in anyway. Her speech is perfect, but her grammar is not. When she differs from the script, she shocks and/or amuses those in attendance: the Eynsford Hills, Colonel Pickering and Higgins. Higgins gives Eliza the signal to leave and, after the party's over, Mrs. Higgins warns him and Pickering about the possible dangers of their little experiment. They, of course, don't listen.

Act 4: A few more months pass. Higgins, Pickering, and Eliza return from a night of partying. Higgins, it seems, has won the bet, and he and Pickering are so busy discussing the evening that they forget to congratulate Eliza. When Higgins is about to head off to bed, Eliza gets angry and throws his slippers at him. The two argue for a while – it seems Eliza's worried about her future – until Eliza annoys Higgins so much that he nearly hits her. She smiles, happy to have made him so angry.

Act 5: The next morning, Higgins shows up at his mother's house in a fury. Eliza is missing, and he can't do anything without her. Mrs. Higgins tells him to act his age, but their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of Doolittle, who's come into a lot of money since the last time we saw him. Mrs. Higgins says Doolittle can take care of Eliza now that he has money. Higgins objects.

Eliza comes down – turns out she was upstairs the whole time – and continues to ignore Higgins. When everybody leaves to go see Doolittle get married for the umpteenth time, Higgins and Eliza get into another argument. She still doesn't know what to do with herself. Higgins suggests she get married, maybe even to Pickering. Eliza says no way, and threatens to marry Freddy, or maybe even go into competition with him as a speech teacher. Higgins nearly strangles her, only to realize that her anger has now made her his equal. Eliza says goodbye for what she says is the last time, but Higgins is sure she'll be back.

Then Shlutz offers to Django his freedom if he helps him kill the “Brittle brothers”, Django accepts the offer and after they kill them both Shlutz teaches Django how to shoot properly. After his training Django decides to go find his wife and Shlutz follows him, and they start they adventure.
