What is it saying is important?

Because a lot of things are saying stuff.

But it's more than that. What is it doing to people and does God have not like it? I need to like it if he does. Wolf of Wall Street, technical value, incredible. Does God like it? No. I don't think so at all. But he did tell that story with that character. It's based on a true story he really did this.
