For starters I have always loved Luhrmann's work. He has a unique sense of style and isn't afraid to go off the beaten one track mind set. I have watched the original movie and read the novel. By far I think Luhrmann's version of Gatsby is much more engaging and offers more finesse.The philosophy behind the film rang with truth and the characters were well developed. There were deeply inspirational moments and the lifestyle during that time era was captured well. A beautiful film for audiences of all ages, anyone who is not socially inept will end up feeling deep empathy for Gatsby and Nick Carraway.If you want a beautifully engaging, lavish movie with heart, then go see this film and keep an open mind. If you don't want a film with heart then just stay home and watch The Hangover.
