The Great Gatsby

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2013)

Movie: The Great Gatsby By: Baz Lumberman
Those years of the roaring 20's the flappers were something difficult to understand for the people who believed the past was really unexciting, who would thought that about 80 years ago people would be so alive and interesting. While watching the movie "The Great Gatsby" you can see how it portrays the way people lived in that era. Baz Lumberman did a great job making the movie as beautiful as the book itself. Very important to mention the music presented in the movie because it gives it a modern twist that makes the movie more interesting and fun to watch, because the music changes drastically the mood in the movie its gives it a more fun and pleasant mood.
The movie is set long island and it's divided between east egg, west egg and town, which are the 3 main places in which the movie focuses on. The story takes place during the 1920's. The main characters of the story are Jay Gatsby an amazing man, Daisy a beautiful women, Tom Buchanan a laying and mean person, and nick caraway and innocent and honest men. The story is about a man name Gatsby who has always been in love with beautiful women named daisy, when Gatsby is to leave to war for 5 years, daisy marries another man called Tom Buchanan a millionaire man who does not appreciate daisy as much as she should. When Gatsby comes back from war buys a huge house across the bay to have daisy near throwing huge party's every weekend waiting for her to show at one of his party's. Nick caraway Gatsby's neighbor is Daisy's cousin therefor Gatsby asks him to please help in bringing her for tea so that he can casually pass by and see her as much as he wants to. After they meet for the first time many feeling and memories are brought up
The main characters of the movie made a great job, they made it believable and that's what made the movie great. I wanted to remark DiCaprio's work due to the fact that he made an amazing job, we worked his paper really well and acted in a really good way, as in my opinion he was always been a great actor because he believes his paper and that is what maintains the movie interesting. The other characters as well did a great job, because every single one of them had the appropriate part of the movie. Therefor the casting itself to choose the characters was brilliant because they made a great job choosing them.
The whole movie was great and there is no part I hate about it, I may not have been convinced with the ending but that is up to my criteria but actually I would like to congratulate the movie because it's awesome it's a piece of art, a very good film of the book. It's a movie I'd love to see again because it's totally worth it. It truly convinces me and it may be in my top movies because it actually touches people feeling and changes people's point of view of that era's mood.
This movie left various lessons; such as chase your dreams because you may not know what will happen if you don't it. Is all about taking risks because it may lead you to something great. But in some way is good to know that you may try but you cannot pressure or ask for too much. Therefor the movie teaches too many important things especially Gatsby is the one who has more feeling you fights for his life and his love.
I believe it's a movie everyone could be allowed to see the movie, from all ages. I think kids should go with their parents, but it's a really good movie and it teaches many important things. While watching the movie and looking at the audience in the theater they are a lot of old people that want to watch a memory of their young life but it some it would be a shock to those old people because it's totally different way in which there era is portrayed. I recommend it to everyone who has the chance to see it. Even more too young people because I believe they would give more thought and they will enjoy it even more. It is a great movie; it brings up everyone's feelings in the way the characters relate to each other.
In my own opinion the movie is excellent and I would give it an excellent rating. A 90 and above would be the rating I would give it because in my personal opinion it is a piece of art. And amazing movie and the characters did a splendid work, making the movie real and making the receptor believe he is in the movie.
