The very greatest movie in the whole wide world every made by Baz Luhrmann!!!

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2013)

Baz Luhrmann does it again! Not one to rest on his laurels after making Moulin Rouge!, he has outdone himself with his latest masterpiece, The Great Gatsby! Everyone must see this movie! Forge the book. Forget Robert Redfort's Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio IS the Big G! What a script by Baz Luhrmann! What makes Francis Ford Coppola think he knows how to write a screenplay for The Great Gatsby? Sure, he's famous, and he lived and grew up in West Egg, or rather, Great Neck, or more precisely, Kings Point, where Daisy lived, but that doesn't mean he can channel F. Scott Fitzgerald, who also lived in Great Neck (actually, Great Neck Estates, the slum part of town). To really, really understand The American Dream these days, you have to grow up in Australia. The American Dream is dead in America. Australia is what America once was.
And just because Jack Clayton also made a movie named Moulin Rouge doesn't mean he can make a movie named The Great Gatsby, too. Luhrmann's isn't just Gatsby, it's The Great Gatsby!!! This Gatsby is hip! This Gatsby is happnin! This is a modern Gatsby for the modern world of 2013 in 3D! The only way this movie could be improved is if it were made in 4D!!!!
