Post 4 Movie Adaptations

 For my 4th post, I will talk about the movie adaptation of my book, The Wolf of Wallstreet. A movie adaptation already exists, so this post will be centered around that.

 The movie stays somewhat close to the book, hitting on most of the good parts. But it also edits or completely do's away with some of the inappropriate scenes. One scene that the movie kept (as it should've) was when Danny Porush, the junior partner at Stratton-Oakmont, eats the pet goldfish of an employee that isn't paying attention. Next, the movie keeps all of the business meetings and shady dealings from the book. These can sometimes be boring, but thy show that in all the craziness of the book there is still a key business element that causes all of the madness. And finally, the movie keeps the scene where Jordan, the main character and owner of Stratton, goes crazy while high on cocaine, gets arrested, and is sent to rehab. This scene is important because the writing for it makes the scene very exciting and sobering. It is also the turning point of the story because during an dafter rehab Jordan cuts his drug habit and changes for the better.      

 Also, the movie heavily edits or cuts some parts in the story. One of these is when Jordan is having an argument with his wife. It is very one-sided, but there is also a lot of inappropriate stuff that I (like the movie) will not hit on. Readers know this as the infamous Chapter 3.  Another way the book is edited for the movie is that much of the business dealings (except for a few interesting ones) are missing. This is because they are somewhat boring, but also because the majority of viewers either wouldn't know or care what was going on in these (actually very important) meetings.
