On letterboxd, I have this movie at a generous 3.5/5. I don't think it's a catastrophic failure as a movie, I just think it fails at adapting the book in a lot of ways. I would still rather watch this than any of the other Gatsby movies.

Dude. When you mentioned the quote "her voice is full of money" I got so excited, because I was also pissed that didn't make the movie!! I thought I was the only one! Anyways, this is a truly thoughtful piece of movie/literary criticism. I really enjoyed this!

It's a bad adaptation, and yet still one of the best adaptations of this story on film... I don't know if this is more of a commentary on the book itself or on society as a whole. But it's something.

Great channel btw - also I think Toby was the weakness of the film , as he was basically the key presence in the film

The Great Gatspy Should have been a GREAT TV show! And make it stay true to the source material! By Copying and Pasting everything from the Source Material and do it justice with care and passion and patience!!!

Imagine if every year they came out with a new artist's interpretation of the Mona Lisa. I think the only valid complaint against re-creating art is that the audience should be interested in the original more so than the adaptation. Sadly, most people today care more about the newer version and never care to explore the originals.

I just read the book for the first time a month ago after seeing every adaptation that's been made and I can safely say the story is told so much better on screen by different artists, Baz being by far the best. The book was just kind of bland and outdated to think the book is better than this movie.

I think this video is useless You are saying from the perspective of a book reader I don’t like reading books that much so who cares if the movie is different from the book

the video is about how its a bad adaptation...from the book. Its obvious that you dont like reading much, or reading at all.
