I recently watched the Great Gatsby and want to share with you my ideas and thoughts about this movie. It was so different from what I expected it to be. I thought it would be a trivial movie about the filthy rich Gatsby, spending his money and throwing wild parties all the time. But this story is far more profound than its seems to be. In fact, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) wants to win back the love of his life, the girl he's still madly in love with and whose love he lost 5 years ago: the fascinating and charming Daisy Buchanan. With Nick Carraway's (Tobey Maguire) help, Gatsby's biggest wish seems to be fulfilled: meeting the love of his life once again cause maybe, just maybe she still loves him as much as he does.
The movie is kind of romantic, but still different from usual romantic movies. If you watch it, you'll see what I mean. Right at the start, I wanted to turn it off again: the beginning is somewhat confusing and the way of filming is kind of distracting but the story was so catching once Gatsby appeared. The songs seem somehow inappropriate to me because they are so modern but hey, each his own. Usually I don't actually like DiCaprio's acting (I can't help it) but in this movie he totally surprised me. The end was so unexpecting and sad I was so confused I couldn't believe what had just happened. I guarantee you, you won't regret watching it and if you're like me, you'll curse Daisy at the end.
