Even though Jordan Belfort lived a lavish life filled with greed he showed he depicted
excellent business sense and had both positive and undesirable characteristics of business
communication. One notable trait was his ability to correspond with customers on call efficiently.
For stockbrokers, this was a plus as it was pivotal when trying to trade stocks with a potential
buyer or investor. Belfort would begin his process by winning the trust of the client on the phone;
he would introduce himself, statin where he is from and what he has to offer the client.
Furthermore, he would absorb the client with his charming and optimistic attitude and explain
more how the stock could affect the client in the most likely best way (Scott N.pag).
Another excellent quality he possessed was his ability to psyche his team of brokers
through his body language and confident speech. In face to face interactions he always stressed
four essential techniques of speech; these are word choice, quality of expression, voice quality,
and adaptation. With his ferocious approach to speech, he was able to affect his team of tenacious
brokers positively. It is safe to say that Jordan’s character in this movie was one of selfish,
ambitious and crooked person. He was an evangelist of quick money and uncontrolled pleasure.
Jordan was also misogynous, he trades his wife Teresa for a more busty and attractive woman
called Naomi, and he regularly objectified women throughout the film too.
This movie is illuminating in the sense that it uses wit and comedy continually and
appallingly. Nonetheless, there is a familiar feeling of brotherhood amongst the characters which
the writer could not help but revel in through their profane lifestyles and hormonal vitality. This
movie also invokes feelings of antagonism of the show just witnessed. Likewise, one would feel
worn down or demoralized by the tackiness observed. Perhaps, these feelings could easily pass for
an honest appreciation of the movie’s critical ambition.
