The Great Gatsby is the tragic story of a billionaire and his undying love for a woman that is already married. It is a good film that brings to life the famous novel by Scott Fitzgerald also named The Great Gatsby.
The story happens in the 1920 decade and is seen through the point of view of Nick Carraway, a young man who moves to Long Island, New York. His neighbour, Jay Gatsby is a mysterious billionaire who is obsessed with Daisy Buchanan, Nick's cousin and Tom Buchanan's wife. Gatsby befriends Nick and then he starts trying to get Daisy's love back.
I really liked the scenography of this film. It was very impressive and colourful. I loved the character of Jay Gatsby, because it made me feel that there were many things about him that were untold, and that gave him sort of a background feeling of mistery. I also liked the idea of using Nick as the narrator when the main storyline is about Jay and Daisy. I think the acting was really good in this movie.
What I didn't like about the film is that there were some parts that didn't had a clear meaning. I guess I could also say that I didn't like Daisy, because I thought that she played dumb too much.
To sum up I think that The Great Gatsby is a very beautiful and enjoyable film. Not everyone likes it but just the scenography is already worth a try. And if you like it, I'm sure you'll end up tearing up and loving it just like me!
