It does look beautiful, but it looks very vibrant and over the top aesthetically; even modern in a sense; doesn't seem to carry that slow subtle magic evoked by the book. But it's just a trailer, we'll see. Personally, I would of liked to have seen Joe Wright, or even Marty, do it; but Lurhman might pull it off. I hope. I just think he has a little too much flamboyant flair in him.
It's the eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Looks cheap. Nothing close to the dreamlike quality of the book. Especially, with that screeching music which is horrible enough to be used as an alarm clock.
another good performance by dicaprio with no oscar nomination respect.
weird -- 3D... why?!
and 12/25 release date. i recall some serious competition on that date.
Not in this, she isn't. It's like they tried to make the movie look beautiful instead of her. Don't know why. She was very attractive in Drive, Brothers, and Shame, though.
I can't say I'm anticipating this. Leo appears to be standing tall inside the very center of his safe zone, playing the same damn role that he's been playing for over a decade now. Do something different, already!
I've hated everything Luhrmann has ever done, so I'm not the most detached of judges -- but this looks like his usual empty, juvenile, ham-fisted frippery.
And it's not because I'm unreceptive to excess. Ken Russell is a hero of mine. Three minutes of The Music Lovers does what Luhrmann wishes he could do.
Each to their own, though. Who knows -- I might actually like it.
What's finding her attractive got to do with anything?
Actually I think it matters very much. Daisy is a light - a big, bright shiny light that just glows when she floats into a room. Gatsby devoted his entire life to winning her. We as an audience need to see the appeal.
