Wolf of Wall Street
The huge success of this movie is a combination of brutal truths and limitations or lack of them, of actions leading to success. The great act of Leonardo DiCaprio adds a real touch to the movie and the message it holds. The movie is a true story based on the life of Jordan Belfort, an entrepreneur going up to the top.

Not only DiCaprio but Matthew McConaughey also shows incredible acting and incarnation in the role of a salesman. It’s a movie that has to be seen and experienced in order for everyone to feel the unknown.

Thank You for Smoking
When it comes to marketing, and entrepreneurship probably the most important skill you need to master is selling. You need to be able to spin the word of others by using persuasiveness, data, and charisma. One of the best scenes in Thank You for Smoking is when Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) shows off his spin skills on Joan Lunden’s talk show.
With time the protagonist starts to understand that he is doing more harm than good. He is torn between being a professional by defending Big Tabacco and being a good role model for his son. Thank You for Smoking is more of a movie about marketing and how radical it could go, but for us to be entrepreneurs, we need to understand the good and the bad of marketing.
The latter is usually the same, it depends mostly on what you are selling. Making people happy is more important than anything else. Don’t fight for something you don’t believe in. Thank You for Smoking is capable of giving you those and a lot more lessons of life, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
