These jump cuts become yet another point of homage, with Scorsese alluding to Stanley Kubricks infamous millennia-spanning bone to spaceship jump cut in2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY(1968) by depicting Damons characters growth from boy to man in extreme close-up via a single hard cut.

From a thematic standpoint,VINYLis also vintage Scorsese from its NY setting, to the rampant substance abuse, and even to the wise-guy businessmen who employ blunt force and gangster intimidation in their dealings.

If nothing else, Scorseses documentary about a pair of anti-Vietnam and anti-war protests makes it clear that theresalwaysbeen two Americas, each absolutely convinced of their own superiority and righteousness as they lunge at the others throats. It was around this time that a novel by disgraced stockbroker Jordan Belfort named The Wolf Of Wall Street was published and gained traction as a scathing expose on the immense fraud perpetrated upon the American public as told through the eyes of the perpetrators.
