Our Take: The Great Gatsby
By Joel Brozovic
There are big parties, a big house, lots of people -- even fireworks.
But this isn't any ordinary tale set in the 1920's. It is a tale with a twist.
This new version of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo Dicaprio as Gatsby and Toby Maguier as Nick Carraway puts a slight modern twist into a classic tale.
The Great Gatsby depicts a 20's setting dashed with modern music throughout the movie.
Overall, it was an amazing movie despite some small things left out here and there. The story was told greatly through the characters actions and emotions. The directors did a really good job at keeping the movie as close to the book as possible and keeping the setting real.
I think it was a good movie and I give it a 4.5/5.
