Every leftist insisted that I left out the context and that he must have instigated it and thrown bricks at them Here's what actually happened: He was sitting on a wall for 30m, and when the cops decided to push into the crowd, he didn't move

There’s a great moment in The Town: right after robbing an armored truck, the crew is switching cars when they suddenly come face-to-face with a lone cop. He sees them — then looks away. According to Ben Affleck, this was based on a real story. He explains: “For The Town, I went down and just went through all the prisons out there in Massachusetts — federal prisons, state prisons — and sat down and talked to guys who robbed trucks and banks… I’m in Walpole, or I’m in the prison in Dedham or whatever, and some guy said - after talking for two hours - I was like, “Has anything just fucking weird ever happened? Or fucked up? Anything you remember?” And he was like, “Yeah, one time, we were coming out of this thing. We robbed this truck, and we had the switch car. We drove around the corner, and we pull up and we get out — fucking guns and the masks, the whole thing — and we look over and there’s this cop sitting there doing construction duty.” I was like, “Oh shit. What happened?” “You know, he looked at us, we looked at him, he looked the other way.” And I was like, “Really?” He goes, “Yeah. He didn’t want to end up on the wall at the VFW.” I was like, “I’m putting that in the movie - He didn’t want to end up on the wall at the VFW.” It was a great line. It was such a simple explanation for, “What do you think he did?” And why. That’s exactly what it would have been. That guy, next day, his picture would have been up at the wall at the VFW. He knew it, and everybody knew it.”

Leonardo DiCaprio on what it took to play Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street: When asked about the real Jordan Belfort, Leo reveals he spoke to him "quite incessantly" during the making of the film. What struck Leo most wasn't the scale of Belfort's excess, it was his honesty about it: "To him the book was a cautionary tale of his time on Wall Street. And since that time, he is a much different person. And he is actually depicted, as we depict him at the end of this movie, as somebody that's going around talking about the dangers of greed and trying to get into the business sector with some sort of moral foundation." Leo explains that Belfort didn't hold back, even when it made him look worse: "A lot of times we would talk about sections in the book and he would say, 'Not only was it that bad, I was 10 times worse. And I'm going to tell you why'. And I really appreciated that honesty because I think, from Marty's perspective, he wanted to have a little bit of distance from that subject, but I needed to speak to him constantly just to get the nuances and the detail of what these scenes were like." But the hardest part of the role wasn't the debauchery, it was the speeches. Leo had been preparing for them for six years, mechanically breaking them down. Yet something only clicked when he finally stepped on stage: "I kind of felt closer to what Jordan must have felt during that time period where he almost created a cult for himself and was consumed by that adoration and the power of being able to provide great amounts of wealth to this mass of people that were worshiping him." He continues: "When I got on that stage, it took on this incredible life of its own. I kind of felt like I was Bono or some rockstar, even though I knew that these actors were paid to clap every single time I was shouting at them. You get this incessant need to push them forward. And it almost became like this Braveheart speech or cry for battle, except that was persuading them to go out there and essentially screw as many people over as possible."
