I love this movie, seen it at the movies and instantly said this is a movie I would buy and be happy to own, watched it the same night it arrived and it was still just as good, got it with a broken clip for dvd to be held into place was the only downer but otherwise all good.
Amazing opulent movie so rich and believable!
The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is a 2013 Australian-American drama, an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name. The film was co-written and directed by Baz Luhrmann.
Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan.
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.
