I want to say first off never read the book or seen the original. That said I loved the film it was visually stunning and kept my attention throughout the film don't get me wrong it was slow in places but I cant see where they would cut scenes out as it all adds up to the greater picture.
Synopsis
An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Long Island-set novel, where Midwesterner Nick Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however, Carraway will see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await
Everyone outs in a great performance especially Leo. Who probably wont get an Oscar nod as its too far away. The director of this is also the director of Romeo and Juliet and I do believe that was a great choice as he has a hand in forbidden love.The film doesn't have you rooting for anyone really except Toby character as he has his life ruined by these people who he befriends and does anything to help them out.
I do believe this is a film for film lovers and not for casual viewers. The film has strong themes running throughout the film of friendship, forbidden love
Its very touching and well worth a watch with your lady friend. This film probably wont do that well in box off as it was up against fast 6 and the hangover 3 bad time to release this film
Recommend highly.
