Brilliant :D

I am a book lover more than a movie critic, so my insight on movies might not be that accurate. As a viewer, I found this movie thrilling from start to end, especially the characters - the way the actors act is just so gorgeous and accurate. One of my complains must be the excessive amount of party, the overtly exquisite that Luhrmnann tried to shove down one's throat. I like the Eye of God symbol and the dirt road, but there is no Owl Eyes part and the quote about "cardboard books" :(.
I guess I can't ask too much. Anyway, I've read the book and found this adaption pretty much follow the theme and the tone. some people disagreed with the casino-like art-deco settings and modern hip-hop music but I do not really mind. Mr Baz just tried to fit it with our world today to feel more real.
That's all I have to say. Love this movie :)
