More Like Minus 10 Stars

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2019)

Like many reviewers here I too was agasp at the absolutely absurd music in this movie. It's a shame really. Obviously the story is gripping and the characters keep you interested; thank you Mr. Fitzgerald. If the producers were intentionally trying to ruin a classic piece of American literature they succeeded marvelously. I'm a musician. Maybe music means more to me than to others. Or, maybe the songs are just so out of place it should be obvious to anyone. Or, perhaps it's that the songs themselves are pure garbage in any setting, in any decade. I got my hands on the 1974 Robert Redford version. I can't bear watching Mia Farrow. But, that offering is a solid 10 star movie anyway. The producers of this trash should have their heads examined!
