Review of The Great Gatsby (2013) by Greenlemonade — 09 May 2013

Saw this when it opened. Had low expectations because of movie critics who obviously grew up in the wrong era. The quality of the book is revived perfectly; It's a period peace, but transcends period with its subtle hints of modern music and style. Every actor was perfectly cast. It's heavy use of Art Deco (my favorite architectural style) fills the screen with beauty that reaches for the heavens, however unattainable they were and still are.

Gatsby looks to the past not with nostalgia, but with regret of what was and what will never be.

P.s. I am usually very anti-3d but this movies 3d really pulls you into the grandness of it all.
