An amazing film nothing more nothing less

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2013)

Firstly I'll say I'm reviewing the movie alone and I will not contrast with the great novel since I have not read it.
So what was I expecting from the movie? I had no idea, no background knowledge of the book or its storyline. The trailer did not give anything really, nothing was clear cut.
So when I went to this fairly long movie I was waiting for something special because of all the hype.
Firstly, let me say, Leonardo Di Caprio has stamped his name in history for being one of the best actors ever. He literally made this movie, made it memorable and was one of the finest acting I have ever seen.
The storyline is grim in many ways (especially the ending), almost depressing, but it has themes that are so strong that makes you think long after you have watched the movie.
The Great Gatsby's usage of CGI is excessive, but its one of those rare occasions of the more the merrier, it is beautiful and breathtaking. The actors all portray their roles excellent and fitting, except two. Daisy and Nick weren't exactly up there with Leonardo or Gatsby in this case, he belittled them just from his talent of acting.
The Usage of new era music was fantastic and fitted almost perfectly. The Director simply wanted to give his audience what it felt like back in the 20's, back then or the "Jazz era", the music was different and new. Thus the input of the new generations of songs fit in amazing, especially at the parties.
There are some faults however, mainly some small plot issues, which I cannot complain about since the movie is based off a novel.
I haven't explained ANYTHING about the movie, but I really don't want too, if your reading this, go to the movies (if you want to appreciate class A acting, amazing script and a beautiful twisted love story that's all tied in with strong themes) and enjoy it. Because I sincerely believe this is art.
