My grandson took my daughter to see The Great Gatsby for Mother’s Day. She loved it, but she doesn’t remember the 70’s version. She thought the cinematography and the parties were spectacular. One comment she had is that she couldn’t emotionally bond with any of the characters, so it didn’t matter to her when they all came to a bad end.
I told her to go rent the Redford version. She’ll like it better, I’m sure.
that does make sense, i didn’t shed a single tear at that movie and lord knows i bawl like a baby at hallmark commercials. Rare the movie that doesn’t make me at least tear up, but GG did not. the cinematography was quite good, but the parties and debauchery just made me uncomfortable.
