CHThe Wolf of Wall Street: Cumulative F-Word Count
This dataset provides a 1,000-row mapping of the profanity-laced dialogue in Martin Scorsese’s 2013 cinematic powerhouse. Over the 180-minute runtime, we track the cumulative frequency of the “F-word” as it mirrors the chaotic, high-energy world of Jordan Belfort.
Methodology & Data Source:
The data is derived from an analysis of the theatrical release transcript, verified against industry-standard profanity counts for major releases. For this count, an “F-word” is defined as any instance of the root word and its variations. The film is notable for holding one of the highest counts for a narrative feature, averaging over 3 instances per minute.
Key Milestones:
• 0:00:00 – 0:45:00 (The Ascent): The count starts strong as Jordan enters the world of penny stocks, establishing the verbal culture of Stratton Oakmont.
• 1:30:00 (The Office Peak): At the midpoint, the count crosses the 220 mark, fueled by high-intensity office speeches and celebratory scenes.
• 2:15:00 (The Breakdown): The frequency reaches a fever pitch (437 instances) during the infamous “Quaalude” sequence and subsequent personal confrontations.
• 3:00:00 (The Conclusion): The count concludes at a staggering 569 total instances, punctuating Jordan’s transition to a motivational speaker in Auckland.
