Great Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2015)

I just got done reading the book, so first of all I would like to give my opinion on the movie compared to the book. Just like every movie that is based on a book, it is missing several key points of the story. But it still portrays the story amazingly well.
As a movie, it is a perfectly made movie. It has the perfect combination of a classic movie and a modern movie. Although the music on this movie is not my style, it represents the modern generation. And in my opinion, there is so much to learn from the story, depending on the person's point of view. The cast was better than what I expected, especially Leonardo DiCaprio since he did a wonderful job on his role as Gatsby. There is no other actor I would picture as Gatsby. I also loved the fact they incorporated all the crazy things that were happening around the 1920's, like jazz and the sky-rocketing stocks. I personally enjoyed this movie and it helped me understand some parts of the book I did not understand at first.
