Movie review Taking advantage of the fact that I had chosen a novel to read on Christmas holidays, I watched the film “The Great Gatsby”, based on a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. This novel ended up becoming a “classic” book within American literature. The main actor is the star Leonardo DiCaprio, playing the role of Jay Gatsby, as I was saying, the main character, and the film was released in 2013. This drama, about the high society in the 20s, leads us through a lovely story at a splendid time in the city of New York as well as a society with plenty of social differences, besides their different lifestyles. The director mixed violence and love, infidelities and friendship, luxury and poverty, with the purpose of transferring us to a fictional place on West and East Eggs, (in front of Long Island), in a suffocating and scorching summer. The protagonists of this history are Jay Gatsby, an eccentric millionaire, and Daisy, a depressed and bored young wife who lives on the other side of the bay with her rude husband, lovers before the Firts World War separated them The plot is narrated by a third person, Nick Carraway, a young graduate who rents a modest house next door to the magnificent Gatsby mansion. Here there are astonishing parties every Saturday night and Nick introduces us to other characters, always with a somewhat biased point of view, as eventually they turn into the best of friends. On the whole, Gatsby seem a playboy whit a shadowy past, enjoying with the atmosphere that he build around himself, even though the sad true is that Gatsby is a man deeply in love and his life is focused in recover Daisy, I mean, to get their own way. Finally, it all ends in a tremendously emotional tragedy all in all. Even the young Carraway is caught by the melancholy and, in fact, he gets himself down. Consequently, viewers are led to think and reflect about the values ​​of society. I wonder why it is still such a current topic! I highly recommend this movie, although it is absolutely necessary to be ready to watch a slow and sometimes chill out plot. With moving scenes, the film is a sensitive story that I would suggest watching on a cold winter afternoon.
