"The Great Gatsby" iscolourful, acute, sincere film, the screen version of the novel of Scott Fitzgerald.
Cast was perfect.
Leonardo DiCaprio is the only actor of our generation that could play Gatsby. DeCaprio's Gatsby is forceful, decisive; he is a determined man of significant accomplishment and great ability. He has a plan and he is going to execute it and as far as he is concerned, for all the right reasons. For myself, it is DeCaprio's best and most powerful performance.
Carey Mulligan has showed class once again. Although not definition of beauty, there's something in her that makes you want to hug and protect her, and love her. Perfect for the role she played. Tobey Maguire - I just love this guy. His performance was maybe crucial to gluing the entire cast and making it all fluid and connected.
Joel Edgerton was fantastic. I could not hate him even though I wanted to, so much. He is Gatsby's antagonist. He and Daisy were married when Daisy could no longer wait for Gatsby to prove himself worthy of her. Tom is as rich, maybe even richer than Gatsby, but his money is old, he is an aristocrat with a deep sense of entitlement.
Soundtrack of this movie is most talked thing about, and it's deserved. It had huge influence on the entire movie and the atmosphere. Using modern music in this movie wasn't a bad idea, I should say it was brilliant idea! Jay-Z was a brilliant choice.
My opinion. I think this story has survived the test of time so well because it is basically a love story. Whatever the viewers or readers opinion of the characters are, Gatsby and Daisy do love each other.
All in all I enjoyed the film production value.I think "the Great Gatsby" is an amazing film. It tells the interesting and important story just as well as the novel, but Luhrmann has added even more glamour and excitement with his visually creative choices. That makes it not only a satisfactory adaptation of the classic novel but a completely fantastic film. Beautiful, emotional, well-acted, unique and thought-provoking it truly is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.
