"Based" carries a stronger connection than "Inspired", IMHO.

I think being inspired by a true story gives you more creative license than being based on a true story.

Inspired to me means they took a hell of alot of liberties with the facts. For dramatic purposes or manipulation.

So, if the movie is based off the book- then why didn't they say BASED on a true story? Since they said, Inspired by a true story, does this mean they altered a great deal from the book to the movie?

Watched it tonight as well. There are some things that are definately a reach in that story. I'll tell you though after being in taht field for awhile it really is very hard to make it in that business at any real level. IF I had known it was gong to be this hard I would have done something else. The next couple years should everything not blow up it will finally start becoming worth it. Even he sold out to have his liquidity event. Bet you he still isn't in the business either.

There were several things that were not accurate.
1. Brokerages don't give their own series 7 exams. 2. Nobody ever asks you to give them a call so they can discuss giving you money. At least not anybody that has real money. 3. He could never bring his kid to day care and pick him up before 5. You are in at 6:30 AM on the West coast and you wouldn't leave until 6 PM or later especially back then being an intern. 4. You don't close accounts as an intern it's illegal. The most realistic part was the tickets in SF, it's absolutely horrible.
