The Great Gatsby instal the new version for ipod

What was the deal with trying to fuse current music into a movie based in the 1920s? None of it felt right. Nothing came together for me while I was watching. Carey Mulligan is always a delight on screen, but other than crying, sobbing or appearing confused, there wasn't much else for her to do. I know this was a few years ago, but Leo was coming off some of his best movies, and then this interrupted one of the better strings of successful movies for him.

Nobody's performance deserves any special attention because it felt so cookie-cutter that you might have thought the actors were only showing emotion because of the punctuation on the script they were reading. The same goes for most of the actors in this film, including DiCaprio. I don't think he's a bad actor, but he didn't give any characterization to Nick Carraway. First, I have never been completely sold on Maguire. While the movie sticks to the source material for the most part, I didn't need the narration from Tobey Maguire the entire time like I was actually reading the book. Considering Lurhmann has had moderate success with Moulin Rouge! and Romeo & Juliet (where he worked with DiCaprio before) it's disappointing how this adaptation could fall so flat with such powerful stars. I was thoroughly unimpressed in more ways than one with Baz Lurhmann's take on one of the nation's greatest novels, The Great Gatsby. Rating: PG-13 (Partying|Brief Language|Sexual Content|Smoking|Some Violent Images) Thus, Nick becomes drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy and - as he bears witness to their illusions and deceits - pens a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy.

Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Midwest native Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream.
