A Master Piece In All Aspects

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2013)

The Great Gatsby is a mind-blowing movie with all its glamour, its visual effects, and some great soundtracks. What I liked about the Great Gatsby is the fact that the whole movie has been narrated out as though one were reading the book. The narrator uses such vivid descriptions to describe something as trivial as a sunrise. It is as though someone were reading the book but the magic here is that the vivid narration is coupled with the most extraordinary visual affects thereby beautifully creating a master piece that can be appreciated by all.
The movie is set in the 1920's in New York. This adds to the whole beauty of the movie. New York has been very well portrayed. The direction of this movie deserve an A+, there is so much to be portrayed so much to show and the director does it all without you realizing that he has shown you almost each and every aspect of that time (1920).
This movie has a very touching theme of Romance, a must see for all romantics. If not for the Romance and drama leonardo Dicaprio's acting as Gatsby should be able to compel people to watch this movie. He has very well portrayed the character of a rich man living lavishly with all the comforts anyone could dream of but at the same time of a modest and charming man.
Over all this is how I would rate the movie:
Theme- 8/10 (though a clichéd theme-romance, its not just any ordinary romantic movie) Direction-9/10 Visual effects-9/10 Soundtracks-8/10 Acting-9/10 The End of the movie-9/10(to me the end of a movie has a big impact on the impression it makes on me)
Over all- 8.7/10 ☺ Have a good day!
