Acerca de esta película

This third film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel was one of the most hyped movies of the summer of 1974. Robert Redford stars as self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, who uses his vast (and implicitly ill-gotten) fortune to buy his way into Long Island society. Most of all, Gatsby wants to win back the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), now married to "old money" Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Calmly observing the passing parade is Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), Gatsby's best friend, who narrates the film. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay is meticulously faithful to the original novel, but Theoni Aldridge's costume design and Nelson Riddle's nostalgic musical score won the film its only Oscars. The huge supporting cast includes Howard da Silva, who played Tom Wilson in the 1949 Great Gatsby, and a very young Patsy Kensit as Daisy's daughter.

We recently had a "Great Gatsby Night" and rented and watched both versions back to back. I was sure that Robert Redford and Mia Farrow would have better chemistry together and act circles around DiCaprio and Mulligan. Boy was I wrong. While both movies are enjoyable and follow a very similar script, scene after scene DiCaprio made Redford look like an amateur. Tobey Maguire and Sam Waterston both do an excellent job of playing Nick Carraway. However Joel Edgerton completely shames Bruce Dern in playing Tom Buchanan. Even Carey Mulligan bested Mia Farrow in Daisy. While there were a number of things to enjoy in the 1974 version, the 2013 take is outstanding in every way and much more fun to watch. For the soundtrack Jay-Z is timeless, his music defines New York just as well in the 1920’s as it does today; it was a perfect fit. (Note: I gave the 2013 version 4/5 stars).

I agree with Mike Nowacki's review. As a reader of TGG, I was thoroughly disappointed with the 1974 version. Not only does it veer from the book's plot, but it sucks the life out of the story. If you want to watch The Great Gatsby, watch the 2013 version: it follows the book almost to a tee, the legendary actors are perfect for their roles, and the overall watching experience is breathtaking.

redford and waterson are like musical instrumets, warning us all of how 1030 and 1060 could turn into the horribly ungly american of 2007.. The best gatsby in terms of weaving the subconiuos of many different eras together,,, hints of KIn Henry the 8th and his partner in pysch the utopia man.stuck on the tower. in relation to the present Redord Gatsby relecys a civilized world againt th epainting of the mostous and hellish society which we are now.
