Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2014)

" The Great Gatsby " a story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald is Directed by Baz Luhmann and has been recreated on film four times. This particular version stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, who's close friend is Nick Carraway, played by Tobey Maguire (Spiderman). The story as Carraway relates it, punctuates the life of one J. Gatsby who everyone talks abouts and believes he is a mysterious Multi-millionaire who rises from poverty to the status of a king. Despite being forever rumored about, no one really knows him. His best friend discovers that Gatsby's only real ambition during the 'Jazz Age' is to secure the love of Daisy, his rich, snooty, snotty, elusive love. Despite his own incredible wealth and ocean of fair whether friends, he remains an isolated figure, doomed to loneliness high atop his great mansion. The raucous wild period of time where Boot-Leg whiskey is made in a bathtub, can be bought and sold in any pharmacy and that includes a Social status. This remade modern film is package with loud music (Some of it, modern rap) colorful costumes and a plethora of excitement. This includes auto racing, reckless romances and murderous scenes throughout the story. Joel Edgerton plays Tom Buchanan, the foil of our hero who splashes his own brand of color to Scott's novel. A movie F.Scott would have been proud of. Recommended to the next generation. ****
