Greatest Gatsby ever?

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2013)

Didn't have great expectations, but became surprised. Suddenly I think I understand what Fitzgerald's novel is about.
What Gatsby does is having a hope so extreme, that he even thinks he can not only stop time, but bring it back. That's reality to him. The green light far away but so near is the symbol, but God watches it all through the eyes of a dirty poster.
Not that Di Caprio is good, but he is the engine of the Plaza Hotel scene, which puts everything on the edge. Existentialism shines through all the flapper luxury. And the green light is still there, even after the party is over.
