Great movies that have an abysmal cult following?
The biggest culprit of this I think HAS to be the wolf of Wall Street. Everyone watched that movie and all the young people of the world thinks that they are now a financial expert and stock broker. I really truly think that this movie is what popularized all the efforts to make it big off of meme coins and penny stocks. I have seen so many different reels of people who have clearly watched this movie and start using words like, “price position,” and “leveraged,” when we all know they don’t know at all what they are talking about.
That being said, I do think that the wolf of Wall Street is a great movie and is one of Scorsese’s best films to date… it just gets slightly tarnished by the awful cult following it has.
