Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

The Great Gatsby follows would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

I hate this movie, my personal opinion but the characters in this movie are seriously flawed. From a guy obsessing over a girl that clearly doesn't have a mind of her own and a girl who is an indecisive people pleaser. Annoying. But the soundtrack was hot though.

I liked the story and everything also dicaprio did a good job. but the music for the film was all wrong. The film is set in what? 1920's? And then put todays music under it, and I mean pop songs and that kind of stuff and it did not fit in the film. Also toby is for ever peter parker.

It tells the story and only miss some parts of the book like gatsby 's dad. But I think it could have been gone deep into the characters personalities.
