my son was drug to see this movie by his girlfriend.

he couldn’t understand why they used rap music throughout for a 1920s drama.

I saw the one made in the 70s with redford...not impressed nor was I impressed by the book, nor the author....that photographer guy...F-Stop Fitzgerald.

The mistake all of the movie productions have made, including this one, is that they emphasize the glitz. Gatsby was about the words Fitzgerald wrote. He turned some really good phrases. There has not been one production that has ever placed its emphases on the words. That’s why every production has been crap.

I watch no movie at home or theater that has crap music, I mean rap music in it. Happily I still get to watch all of my favorite made before 1970 or so back to the golden era.
