Interesting movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2013)

First half was boring until Gatsby showed up then it made a somewhat watchable movie. Is Jay-Z soo rich that he went back in time and ran the 20's too??? The music ruined it for me though. Hearing Jay-Z and Kanye West thrown in here and there made sure I couldn't be engulfed in the 20's at all. I heard Techno , Dubstep, Rap, all of which shouldn't have been in this movie. Why couldn't they use real period music? The scene with the big powerful guys in the back of the barbershop lost me too when Jay-Z's lines was used as narrative subliminal message. The scene with the black people in the car drinking Moet and listening to Jay-Z lost me too. I see them doing that now...not in the 20's
