A great American romantic movie,I should call it....

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2013)

Since I haven't read the book before the movie (shame on me!), I had a suspense right until the very end of the movie.The movie was more than I expected:for me, it is a story how a man's dream can build palaces,and it reminds me so much of Coral Castle story that inspired Billy Idol's Sweet Sixteen. Usually a dream is greater than the life and the object of desire itself, and Daisy is Gatsby's object.However, in real life she is just a simple girl whose love shifts from Gatsby to Tom and vice verse, and she is unable to decide which one is her one and only love. I liked so much about this movie.I was afraid a little bit that I will fall asleep watching guys and gals from 30's in those suits and dresses dancing to old-fashioned music, but it was quite the opposite!There was funny intermingling of 30's music and modern rap rhymes and wild parties.Really made me feel I'd like to go to Gatsby palace and have some fun with those people. As much as I like Gatsby's character, I like Tom Buchanan's as well,although he might be considered a villain by some.It is an epic duel of two strong characters for the love of one lady, and Tom is even more picturesque a character as Gatsby is.And even though he search for "love" in places other than Daisy's bedroom (which he admits), he is truly in love with her,just as Gatsby is.I am still not sure whose side I am taking in this duel,even after watching the movie. Would like to write more about this, but I can tell you one thing: I did not move or spoke a single world to the person I went to the cinema with, the movie kept my attention so much.Must see,especially if you don't know what happened at the end!
