Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2013)

Set in the 1920's, Nick(Tobey MaGuire) befriends J. Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio), a lonely billionaire, and quickly discovers that he once romanced his cousin Daisy(Carey Mulligan), but she is now married Tom(Joel Edgerton) another billionaire. How will this end for everybody?
Baz Luhrmans direction is beyond brilliant, he makes us feel like we are in that period. Tobey MaGuire is good here too, you'll forget he was once Spider Man, you are put in his shoes, you are going through everything with him. Joel Edgerton is great has Tom, he is so unlikable, that every time he's on screen you just want to smack him. Carey Mulligan is Oscar worthy has the tortured Daisy. But Leonardo DiCaprio is beyond terrific as Gatsby, You feel his loneliness, and his love for Daisy, I'm not gonna say any more but this a great movie, I hope it won't be missed by the Oscars.
