The Great Gatsby (2013) This is a drama and "romance" film base in the famous novel of Scott Fitzgerald from 1925 and is the 5th film adaptation. (BTW this is my first disappointment of the year when it comes to movies I was waiting). This is about the obsession of a millionaire man (Gatsby) with a married woman (Daisy) that he meet long time ago. The film is too long for nothing, it has a poor super poor screenplay, the conversations are so silly and repetitive that is boring, the only part I can say I still remember about the screenplay is when they said "big parties are more private than the small ones" but you don't see the growing love between characters at all, they just "feel" somehow. When you see the trailer you are expecting something flawless but unfortunately it's too much sometimes, I feel no sense of "class or style" in the direction because we lose so much in all this close ups and up and down shoots but at the same time it was full of beauty thanks to all the beautiful cloth and great fashion style, the music was PERFECT but you are in two different worlds almost every time a song was played. The first 25 minutes of performances was too melodramatic something is not that good because it doesn't feel real at all, but after Leonardo DiCaprio appear suddenly everyone start acting normal and really GOOD, when it comes to acting he was the great about "the great Gatsby", also I'm really please with Tobey Maguire because he did a pretty good job. The movie is average at least and that is because of the great cast and the great costumes but not more.
