Director: Baz Luhrmann
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, Joel Edgerton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire
Plot: "The Great Gatsby" follows the journey of Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Nick arrives with the hope of achieving the American Dream, and the great fortune of a place next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo Dicaprio). It happens that he is also across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), and Nick is thus drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. However, as guileless Nick bears witness within and without the world he inhabits, he soon realises a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, all the while weaving it into a novel that holds mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
My Movie Review: The movie is a must see because of it's heart warming and unique storytelling of Nick Carraway about the life and love of his friend Jay Gatsby. The grand and extravagant parties are visual spectacular, attention to details at it's finest bringing us back to the old glamour but still sophisticated New York City. I could relate to Nick Carraway's character because I have too witness the love story of two close friends of mine whose telling me confessions and secrets. I am within their relationship but at same time without. The sad thing the girl found a new boy and the boy is looking for his new girl.
My Favorite Term: Old Sport
Old Sport, a term of endearment expressed from one refined gentleman to another, most commonly at social garden events. A man that is well suited for the daughter of a wealthy man, often dress in tails and a waist coat and would be deem a plonker in modern society.
