The 

Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo
DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort, a former stockbroker turned wealthy and notorious con man.
Based on Belfort's memoir of the same name, the film chronicles the excesses of Wall
Street in the 1990s.

Exploring the excesses of Wall Street in the 1990s, the film examines the concept of influence as

Belfort uses his charisma and manipulative skills to get others to follow him.

The concept of power is central to the film as Belfort uses his wealth and influence to manipulate
others and take control of his professional and personal life. Power is studied in various forms,
including financial, social, and psychological power.

Throughout the film, Belfort influences others in various ways. He uses his charm, confidence,
and powers of persuasion to get his clients to invest in his company’s stock, even
when it's obviously fraudulent. He also motivates his brokerage team with fiery speeches and
promises of wealth and success.

One's financial power is perhaps the most obvious form of power in the film, as Belfort's wealth
allows him to live a lavish life, buying expensive cars, yachts, and houses. He uses his financial
power to manipulate and bribe others, such as paying a Swiss banker to hide money in an
offshore account.

Belfort's influence is not limited to his professional life. He can attract women and engage in
extramarital affairs with his sweet talk and charm. He also convinces his wife to stay with him
despite his infidelity, further demonstrating his powers of persuasion.

Social power is also a key element of the film, as Belfort uses his charisma and influence to build
a loyal brokerage team that lives up to his every expectation. He uses his social power to
motivate his employees to sell shares and manipulate the market in his favor. Additionally,
Belfort's social strength allows him to attract women and engage in extramarital affairs
without repercussions.

Psychological power is another form of power explored in the film. Belfort’s charismatic and
manipulative personality allows him to control others through psychological tactics such as
flattery, coercion, and deception. He uses his psychological strength to get his clients to invest in
questionable stocks and his employees to engage in unethical practices.
One of the central themes of the film is the destructive influence of power and money. Belfort's
success and wealth led him to become increasingly involved in immoral and illegal activities
such as money laundering and securities fraud. His ability to manipulate and get others to follow
him ultimately contributes to his downfall, as his uncontrollable ambition leads to his arrest and
imprisonment.

Despite his immense power and wealth, Belfort's downfall is ultimately due to his own arrogance

and greed. His uncontrollable desire for more power and money leads him to increasingly risky
and illegal activities, eventually leading to his arrest and downfall.

The film also draws attention to the dangers of blind obedience to authority. Belfort employees

put their hearts into every assignment, even when it is clear they are engaging in illegal or
unethical practices. This blind obedience allows Belfort to build a loyal brokerage
team that will do anything to make money, regardless of the consequences.

In summary, The Wolf of Wall Street is a cautionary tale about the destructive power

and influence of money. The movie paints a stark picture of the corrupting influence of power.
Belfort’s ability to persuade and manipulate others due to his financial, social, and psychological
power management and influence is a key factor in his success but ultimately leads to his
downfall. The film draws attention to the dangers of blind obedience to authority and warns of
the consequences of unethical behavior and also warns about uncontrolled ambition and the
destruction of power.
