tired of comparisons between this movie and the book!!!

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2018)

Before watching The Great Gatsby, I was wondering to postpone watching it. once the film started, for the next 143 minutes I didn't understand the passage of time.
It is a 2013 American romantic drama film based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name, directed by Baz Luhrmann. It is the story of a mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby (by Leonardo DiCaprio) and His only Love of Life. the cast were perfect, Leonardo DiCaprio had an awesome performance, and he was completely successful in showing the complexity of his character. The visual effects of the movie were also excellent, colors, designs and costumes were wonderful.
Mixing modern music with 1920 music was maybe one of the weaknesses of Baz Luhrman great Gatsby. (really disappointing)
After all, if you're going to watch the movie with the idea of comparing it with the book you will spend an awful 2 hours and half, but if you watch it like every other film which are telling a story it is definitely worth seeing.
