One of my favorite Leo movies

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2014)

I'm not normally a huge fan of Baz Luhrmann's work but I really like this movie. Not only was it tastefully done while still giving F. Scott Fitzgerald's story a chance but the soundtrack is one of the best I have heard it years! At first I really wasn't happy with Carey Mulligan getting the part but when I saw her in the movie I thought she did a lot better job than any of the other Daisy's that's been portrayed (especially Mia Farrow's Daisy). There is really only two of Leo's character's that I've ever had massive sympathy for and one of them is J. Gatsby (the other is Teddy Daniels). He plays Gatsby in a heartbreaking way. A gentle, warm and lonely man who is just looking for love and a second chance to a woman who has ever meant anything to him. It's a real sad character that Leo plays off beautifully with Carey
