The Great Dicaprio

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2013)

Visually and graphically the Great Gatsby has definitely impressed me. I found the way everything was set on scene a near-miss though.
Luckily Leo is fantastic as Gatsby and all his scenes are spot on.
I did not get the casting of spider-man Tobey Maguire as observer and narrator Nick Carraway though... one word: STATICAL another : HORIZONTAL
These two actors are so far apart it seems paradoxical.
The truth is that The Great Gatsby only at very few too few moments reaches the heights of Baz Luhrmann own Romeo et Juliet... Exception granted again for the great Dicaprio stellar performance; one of the same stature as Romeo. Leo puts down a Gatsby that at times aspire to be mad and totally corrupt as a magnata with dirty fingers linked to the mob, cops and politicians... Though here is not where Baz accentuates the story.
The problem to me was the focus Baz sets on the love story between
