People have said it was unbelievable and left them speechless, I don't mean to be a party pooper but I wouldn't go that far. My view is, overall it was a really good film and the cinematography/effects etc were absolutely outstanding, but for someone that has no idea of the plot, the storyline was absolutely BIZARRE and rather hard to follow. To begin with it just seemed to skip from one random scene to another. Also, am i the only one that found it rather peculiar that it was set in the 1920's yet Jay-Z was booming in the background during certain scenes?
HOWEVER.
Leonardo DiCaprio. Say no more. He is God. He alone made the film worth seeing in my opinion. It seems that he just never gets older and his looks just get better and better. I don't want to say too much about the film itself as I don't want to give too much away but i'm just going to leave you with a few pictures of Leonardo as Gatsby so you can gawp over them...

this is sort of irritating to read, because i have read the book (which is an amazing read by the way) and therefore completely understood the plot, because it jumps from past to present. also the jay z is intentional-it emphasized the garish and vulgar aesthetic of the party, and how modern and rich gatsbys parties are. the film WAS incrediblee
ReplyDeleteyeah no there's no denying the film was very good I just wished I'd read the book because having no clue what it was about meant I couldn't fully appreciate it - I definitely want to read the book
