Nope. Because it's not showcasing some false-hearted mea culpa. Instead, it's directly criticizing the way society STILL holds Belfort up and why. It's 1000000X more honest. https://twitter.com/The_Trash_Child/status/955367318229417984 …

Except, whether or not Scorsese realized this, the effect of the film was to amplify Belfort's image and give him new venues to shill his garbage. Scorsese identified the dynamic, and then he just participated in it.

I mean, not long after the film opened he booked a speaking engagement in Israel explicitly using the film as advertisement. His book sales increased too, using the same tactic. Whether or not Scorsese intended it, that is what happened.

I still don't think that's on the film whatsoever. But we've been doing this dance with scorsese a lot time, I talk about this a lot in the column on him.

I think it's on Scorsese in the sense that he identified the dynamic where just giving Belfort oxygen made him attractive but couldn't figure out how to counter it. Unlike Fincher in Fight Club, he knew what he was getting into.
