THE GREAT GATSBY movie review

fell in love again with Baz Luhrman's directorial skills in Warner Bros. Pictures' adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgeral's THE GREAT GATSBY.
set in the Jazz Age, a person named Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) is looked upon the whole community of New York for his glamorous parties and generous gatherings. a wealth of almost anything you see in the place owned by a former officer with very humble beginnings. despite the great hospitality, suspicions and curiosity arise from around him but one would never turn his back off Gatsby, his neighbor. it was indeed a story of life's rise and fall, you may be very happy one day but fate will definitely play on you.
one thing that i can say about Baz Luhrman is that he puts on high production treatment but it is noticeable that the execution is very much similar to Moulin Rouge. that theatrical experience, extravagant sets and costume design really display much of the Jazz Age as if the fun never stops. Leo, Tobey and the rest of the cast I think did pretty good. everyone took the limelight but I did not feel the connection of the actors to each other. it seems that chemistry lacks between them.

for a story like The Great Gatsby, you'll definitely learn sweetness and even bitterness of reality. it will leave you with a lesson that you may not expect those people that you help or entertain. sometimes, the most trustworthy people will come out from the most unexpected relationships. sometimes, they may be just beside you so you have to appreciate them.
The Great Gatsby opens May 17 in theaters nationwide. distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures (Philippines)

the GATSBY fashion

the glamorous '20s fashion of Warner Bros.' THE GREAT GATSBY is something to adore. sparkling like champagne, the ladies are strutting the way baring their skins. adorned by accessories that glitter in the strike of light. angelic faces that are the life of parties and indeed toast to a longer night. vibrant colors add to the festivities. more socials, the better.
while the men propose with a macho scene, a deserving member of the high society, the sheer coat, the snappy tie and with the glare of shining leather. you can also notice that the hair is well-fixed. and even a dash of water cannot ruin its brush. the decade that everything seems to be perfect.
on the event of the lavish parties and fame, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) still cannot hide the past. with his Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) discovers cracks of Gatsby's richness and later lures in madness and tragedy.

THE GREAT GATSBY opens tomorrow, May 17, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
