The critics are so wrong!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2013)

I know this is a very bold statement but, I have an honest feeling most critics are so wrong on this one. They have fallen into the trap of comparing a piece of classical art with a piece of impressionist art. Fitzgerald's book is a classic, while Baz Luhrmann's production is an IMPRESSION of the story. While impressionists miss on details, they focus on feeling, which I believe Baz Luhrmann was able to convey to most of his audience. So if your are planning to watch the movie I have some advice for you... Enjoy the interpretation. For all the critics who are saying some of the scenes are over the top exaggerations, that's like saying Van Gogh used to many brush strokes to paint his landscapes..... Now I think I am exaggerating!
