Abstract
Things reduced to objects. The Wolf of Wall Street Nicola Stefani The Wolf of Wall Street reflects the rampant hedonism of young brokers of the Eighties: an euphoric variant of the American way of life. The "things", from simple objects, rise to the value of status symbols. Cars, clothing, yachts, helicopters are some of the fetish objects represented in the film. Scorsese, in line of the fast-paced and lush imagery proposed, adopts a functional language to bring the objects on the big screen. The moral ambiguity pervades the film in the dialectic between thing and object, among the film and the product, but also in the contrast between material and immaterial.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
