I'm not sure there's a real need for yet another movie adaptation of the Great Gatsby. NickвЂ™s next-door neighbor in West Egg is a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who lives in a gigantic Gothic mansion and throws extravagant parties every Saturday night.' He rents a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, a wealthy but unfashionable area populated by the new rich, a group who have made their fortunes too recently to have established social connections and who are prone to garish displays of wealth. 'Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to New York in the summer of 1922 to learn about the bond business.

The full cast hasn't been officially announced, but I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire are on board too, as Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway respectively. Director Baz Luhrmann has indeed purchased the rights to the 1925 novel by the American author F. Overall, it's a fair attempt, but Luhrmann's luridness is often misplaced.There's a new movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby ahead of us. Likewise, the script doesn't give enough to Carey Mulligan to expose Daisy's depth. Leonardo DiCaprio is good as Gatsby, capturing the lavishness of his excess and the vulnerability of relationship with Daisy, and Tobey Maguire is fine as literature's most famous witness although, Maguire isn't allowed to express the appropriate moral outrage at the end of the film. It's mostly faithful to the source material except for a few glaring dissimilarities that make me wonder if the filmmakers simply felt the need to stamp the story with their spin. It's a valiant attempt, and I like when it succeeds and don't get too angry when the style rudely overtakes the story. It was pretty much watching an audio book on screen with all the narration we were drug through and when we finally had a chance to watch what was happening on screen without listening to someone tell us about it, the scenes were filled with awkward pauses and stilted dialogue.Д®ven though Luhrmann stayed faithful to the material, never at any point did I believe it was on par with the magic I read back in high school from Fitzgerald.ДЇrom an insane asylum (wait, what?), Nick Carraway narrates the story of a socialite's attempts to woo his long-lost love.Д«az Luhrmann's lavish style, quick cuts, garish colors, and modern screaming, drum-heavy music attempt to capture the roar of the Roaring Twenties. What was the deal with trying to fuse current music into a movie based in the 1920s? None of it felt right. Nothing came together for me while I was watching. Carey Mulligan is always a delight on screen, but other than crying, sobbing or appearing confused, there wasn't much else for her to do. I know this was a few years ago, but Leo was coming off some of his best movies, and then this interrupted one of the better strings of successful movies for him. Nobody's performance deserves any special attention because it felt so cookie-cutter that you might have thought the actors were only showing emotion because of the punctuation on the script they were reading. The same goes for most of the actors in this film, including DiCaprio. I don't think he's a bad actor, but he didn't give any characterization to Nick Carraway. First, I have never been completely sold on Maguire. While the movie sticks to the source material for the most part, I didn't need the narration from Tobey Maguire the entire time like I was actually reading the book. Considering Lurhmann has had moderate success with Moulin Rouge! and Romeo & Juliet (where he worked with DiCaprio before) it's disappointing how this adaptation could fall so flat with such powerful stars. I was thoroughly unimpressed in more ways than one with Baz Lurhmann's take on one of the nation's greatest novels, The Great Gatsby.
