a couple years old -- Bilge Ebiri on mistaking TGG for a 'star-crossed romance.'
When people talk about the lack of chemistry between Redford and Farrow in Clayton’s film, I have to laugh, bitterly: Any honest depiction of this story pretty much ensures that there will be no chemistry between them.

very little gravitatsby indeed

I'm not sure why film makers think people want to see period clothes, cars, and interior design but somehow can't handle period music.
― Brad C., Thursday, 20 December 2012 16:07 (eleven years ago) link
I know Nick is not an old character but Toby Maguire seems like a babe in arms compared to the considerate & understanding character in the book. Or maybe I'm just lol old, the police are getting younger every day. I think Leo could actually pull off a decent Gatsby in a less flamboyant production.
― ledge, Thursday, 20 December 2012 16:13 (eleven years ago) link
it actually looks good visually but i really don't think there's any need for some pop version of gatsby at a time when people are so obsessed with drama from that era.

somehow can't handle period music.
1) Last film version had period music, bombed
2) it's Luhrmann (in the vapor trail of Tarantino)

I re-read this last year. It's great, the words are wonderful and poetic, it's a well put-together piece of literature. But it is basically all about rich people that have nothing to do but lay around all day drinking and smoking and getting into drama. It's basically a literary forerunner of celebrity-based reality TV.

I kept reading, thinking "Oh, wow, that's a great phrase" every so often but mostly wondering WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO HAPPEN. And by the time it does i don't really care about any of these people.

ugh, I normally shrug at movie tie-in book covers but the original Gatsby one is so classic

apparently hemingway thought the original gatsby cover made it look like a 'bad science fiction' novel!

Nick is the readers' surrogate, our guide as we observe the almost unimaginable swirl of wealth and privilege and carelessness surrounding Jay Gatsby and Daisy and Tom Buchanan.Nick is the outsider looking in, and he is telling his story to us. Directly.So imagine my surprise to find, when I saw Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" (opening Friday), that in addition to bringing his trademark over-the-top, three-ring circus atmosphere to the movie -- not to mention the 3-D effects, which I fervently wish I had not seen -- Luhrmann has made a critical change in the narration.In this version, Nick is writing "The Great Gatsby" as therapy. Under orders from a psychiatrist.Nick is back in the Midwest, but here he is in a sanitarium, drying out and recovering from the experiences he had with Gatsby and the Buchanans back East. He begins telling the doctor about it, starting with the famous opening, "In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice . . ."But not too long into it, he stops: "I don't want to talk about this, doctor.""Then write about it," the doctor says."Why would I write about it?" Nick asks."You said yourself writing brings you solace," the doctor says. Then he hands Nick paper and a pen that -- thanks to the 3-D -- seems to float, defying gravity and glowing like a magic sword being handed to a comic-book superhero.
