Decent adaptation, masterclass movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2019)

By far one of the best movie by Baz Luhrmann. The direction in this movie is top notch, the way camera angles are used to narrate and progress the story, just marvelous I say. The overall tone of the movie is wonderfully kept alive by the use of right music at the right time.
In my opinion, if one has read the novel than the movie is kind of a let down. The movie only skims over the story line leaving out the much deeper context of the novel.And also makes the satires of the novel missing at times.
If one watches the movie as a standalone, irrespective of what is in the novel than this adaptation is the best of all the adaptions. The direction, acting and music just top notch.
