Our time now

Well, first I dare to admit that I don't remember seeing such a great photography as I saw in this film. The scenario is magnificent, with beautiful colors and the highest definition I've ever seen on blu-ray. However, the movie as a whole isn't that "great". First off, Gatsy isn't an interesting character; there is nothing palpable in his personality. Also, we don't get to know much about him, or why he acts the way he does, delivering a vague main character. Maguire's character isn't anything to be remembered; he seems to be just a Gatsby wannabe, and I don't see a reason why-- and neither does he. The plot is very crazy and nonlinear, turning the story into pure fantasy without many reality. The soundtrack can be considered good. Also, the soundtrack is authentic; there are some weird covers of "Crazy in Love" and "Back to Black". Maybe just too much of Jay-Z. In the end, I couldn't say if this film was comedy, drama or romance; it has everything but, at the same time, it has nothing! However, I give it a 6 in respect of the wonderful scenario and the dynamic direction, which the lack of would turn this into a great deception!
