El lobo de Wall Street

EL LOBO DE WALL STREET

Misdaad - Komedie - 180 minuten

El lobo de Wall Street - The wolf of Wall Street

Wednesday evening the students organized their own visit to the cinema to the movie: ´El lobo de Wall Street´, also known as ´The wolf of Wall Street´. The movie started at 20.10 at ´Cines van Dyck´, a ticket costs only €3,50 on wednesdays. Make sure that you arrive on time on wednesdays, because there are a lot of people visiting the cinema these days. 

The movie is completely synchronisized, like all movies in Spain. There are a few dates when the original version, in english, will be played, with spanish subtitles. See (VO): CINES VAN DYCK

Summary:
In The Wolf of Wall Street DiCaprio plays Belfort, a Long Island penny stockbroker who served 36 months in prison for defrauding investors in a massive 1990s securities scam that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including shoe designer Steve Madden. 

The movie lasts three hours, which is very long without any break. But it was a good excersize to practice spanish in our spare time and to get used to expressions as: Tomar el pelo, which means cheating.

Other spanish movies from the moment you can watch are: La vida secreta de walter mitty // El médico // La ladrona de libros.

¡Qué te diviertas!
