DiCaprio observed his co-star chanting before takes and recognized that it could be gold in the context of the movie and his character. The chant is actually an acting ritual McConaughey had been using for years before filming scenes in his films. The scene begins and ends with the chant, but it’s not something Scorsese or “Wolf of Wall Street” writer Terence Winter added to the screenplay. McConaughey’s scene was made all the more memorable for a chant his character does while pounding his chest. 'French Dispatch' and 'Last Night in Soho' Start to Lift Stagnant Specialty Box Office Leonardo DiCaprio Set to Star as Jonestown Cult Leader Jim Jones in MGM-Backed Biopic 'Don't Look Up' Official Trailer: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence Must Save the World That line with Mark Hanna is, he’s explaining the secret of his business to Leonardo’s character and he says, ‘The secret is cocaine and hookers.’ I just read that and said, ‘If this guy really believes that, then who the hell is this guy?'”
If you can unpack that line, if this character means that, then there’s an encyclopedia on this character. “They had this one line that was written, and I call it a launchpad line,” McConaughey said, “I had one in ‘Dazed and Confused’ and I had one in ‘Magic Mike.’ Sometimes you get a line in a script and the imagination just soars. The scene became one of the breakout moments in the film’s nearly three-hour running time, thanks in large part to McConaughey’s firecracker performance.

In fact, it turns out that filming some scenes in "The Wolf of Wall Street" resulted in one of its lead stars needing to go to the hospital.Actor Matthew McConaughey has started a weekly quarantine video series on Twitter entitled “McConaughey Takes” in which he reexamines a signature role in his filmography this week, the Oscar winner’s attention turned to his memorable supporting turn in Martin Scorsese’s “ The Wolf of Wall Street.” McConaughey has one significant scene in the film where his character, Mark Hanna, has a lunch meeting with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort. However, while the film's numerous party sequences work to illustrate the absurdity of Belfort's escapades, shooting them was by no means an easy task for its actors and crew. As a result, the film goes out of its way to show what kind of lifestyle Belfort and his crooked colleagues were engaging in at the height of their "success." It takes Belfort's carefree, unapologetic perspective on the situation, and it doesn't shy away from showing the clear pleasure he took in making money - regardless of how he did it.
The film's visual and narrative excess isn't unwarranted, and it actually makes sense given its subject matter.īased on the memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort, "The Wolf of Wall Street" details how Belfort and his brokerage house achieved immense success on Wall Street by committing fraud and engaging in countless illegal activities. From its 180-minute running time to its extreme amounts of onscreen nudity and swearing, the Martin Scorsese-directed film is intent on depicting both the rewards and costs of living a life of endless luxury and debauchery. " The Wolf of Wall Street" is, in many ways, a film about excess.
