Intriguing and engaging

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2013)

This film is about a Wall Street employee who recalls his days when he lived next to a very rich gentleman in New York.
I have not read the literary classic before, so I have no preconceived ideas about the story of "The Great Gatsby". I find this film tells the story of Mr Gatsby in an expert manner, in which it intrigues and engages the viewers throughout the film. Mr Gatsby is portrayed to be a man with manners and charm, but almost no one knows about him. This adds to the mystique of this character, driving viewers to want more.
The opulent settings and the extravagant parties are very astounding. Leonardo DiCaprio is so convincing as a well bred gentleman, while Carey Mulligan shows her delicate side as she is torn between to men. I enjoyed watching "The Great Gatsby".
