  • The Great Gatsby 2013

    ★★★ Watched 23 May, 2013

    The Great Gatsby isn't the Great Gatsby.
    This adaption isn't anything like the book, but it doesn't try to be either. It's fun, self-indulgent and ironic. While it's not nearly as good as the book, it still has some entertainment-value.

    For me, it shows, like no other film, the many different aspects of humanity through a clash of personalities - the emotional, violent, irrational side, but also the calm, deductive and most of all intelligent side.

    The film is like humanity, truly multi-layered.
