You could hear a pin drop in the theater after the movie ended.

Wow, amazing. When the movie ended, you could hear a pin drop. We were all stunned and speechless because it was so good. As an English teacher who teaches this book year after year, the new movie is faithful to the story (even more than the Robert Redford version, which is incredible too). It reveals Gatsby's emotions more than that version so it's easier for readers to understand where he's coming from. Go see it! Leonardo is a perfect fit for Gatsby, BTW. Great soundtrack that works with the style of the movie. I loved Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet because it was unconventional and I especially loved the soundtrack!
