The 2001 version which was also by Gatsby's Baz Luhrmann. Once you got used to 19th century Parisians getting down to Kurt Cobain's and Patti LaBelle's grooves, even if you hated the movie, you probably wouldn't be surprised or disappointed or shocked by Luhrmann's Gatsby. Think of it as an opera or ballet which didn't have to exactly reproduce the precise details of 1920s life to get its point across.
