The most beautiful movie I have ever seen. It far exceeded my greatest expectations. A+++
Easily the best new movie in years.
Just reading some comments about the soundtrack. The director does this on purpose to put present influence in a movie that took place in the 20's??? He did the same thing with Romeo&Juliet which also starred Leo D. I liked it made it different and fun. The only song that could have been excluded was Beyonce's Crazy Love... Of course JayZ had to put a Beyonce song in the mix... My only negative thing about it. Otherwise I loved the music, it's made for a younger audience obviousy.
I didn't read the book, so I really didn't know too much about the story. I really enoyed this movie, the way it was filmed was very similar to Romeo&Juliet, which was okay with me. Rekindled my girl crush with Leo :) LOL
lol Seriously there was really nothing great about this 'Gatsby' dude. I think I wasted my $10 on this film. It's a film that should be be seen on Netflix or cable tv. Just sick and tired of these repetitive Hollywood films, that more or less have the same plot like films released in the past. All I am saying is that there absolutely nothing unique or original about this film. Just the same typical American decadence.. blah boring. Enough said.
Incredibly well done. I could done have without daisy's husband's accent though. His accent sounded so phony! Also, yes the sound tract and a few songs Didn't go with the era of the times! I was very pleased with your choice of actors.
i agree with the music critique, music did not make any sense. with be way better to captivate 1920ties. director learn from Cameron !I still like it by hey, not the best1 original way better.
So what if the film is flawed? It's an overwhelming experience that captures an era and the concept that the same person can be simultaneously hopelessly corrupt and a shining beacon of hope.
The hip hop soundtrack was beyond stupid. That really hurt an otherwise good movie. What were they thinking? It's the 1920s for gods sake, have a soundtrack that reflects the times.
This movie was amazing and well done. It's rare that I leave a theatre and say "I really enjoyed that movie!!!!"
