This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....
This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.
The Great Gatsby. First off; if this is the first time you read anything about this movie, push play and watch it. To take the atmosphere of the movie in in a total neutral way is a great way of being swept away in this a little mysterious story.... this saga wrapped in a modern package, so amazing! If only for the design and the producing of the picture and the shades of colours... The Great Gatsby is worth watching.
A costume movie with interesting and modern twists. A tale told by a contender of his own life, as the time of modern production helps the story moving forward.
Blend a musical, daring dancers, music and emotions from the modern society of the 21st century with a story situated in the 20s.... scramble a little.... out comes Gatsby... the great Gatsby!
Like an amusing park with a little itsy bitsy touch of psychadelica... how about parties in the '20s driven by pumping music of today and the feeling of a circus? Kind of a sophisticated psychadelica...
Greenery and the environments is beautiful.... and the name of the girl is Daisy! Hilarious!
The scene in about the middle of the film (around 1 hour and 1 minute) is magnificent put together. The music, the emotions, the clothes, the joy... the warmth between two human beings in a delicate situation. Nicely done!
There's a little sense of a cartoon in the scenery and the environment... and also a little in the camera angles and shooting of the film. Makes me think of another movie a little like "The Grand Budapest Hotel". Such a presence in laying out the entire cut of the movie.. a mellow feeling of perfection. Just the scenes where the surroundings is absolutely centralised in the exact middle of the screen and the symmetry... marvellous!
Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Beautiful special effects... wonderful and living colours everywhere! The strength of the enhanced colours really makes this one vivid. Great sound, music and picture editing. Academy award winner... and that says it all. - The actors : Leonard Di Caprio use to deliver... so does he here. Amongst other actors, the script is held up by skillful actors and a skillful director. - The story : Is it "just" a vast surrounding of a love story.... is it something else hidden.... what kind of history is this motion picture revealing? - Entertainment : Yes. It is entertaining, and a feast for sore eyes....no....for ALL eyes. - Age : 11 years.
7,7 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie.)
(Short elucidation of the rating: 8 Excellent movie and a solid production 7 Well made movie. Proper entertainment.)
