For me, and for that matter, for many others, the Baz Luhrmann film "The Great Gatsby" was, above all, bright and suitable agitation to read such wonderful things as this novel FrancisScott Fitzgerald. This leads into a light stupor, because this film is more designed just for those who have not seen this work in the face.Before them, the film is presented rather than another adaptation of the immortal classics of English literature, but simply as a complex melodramatic structure with a stellar cast and an actualmorality at all times. "The Great Gatsby" by Baz Luhrmann gives ambiguous, some misperception of history itself.The director seemed to do everything right, following the original text and wanting to pass it with such a form, in which the book appeared in front of him themselves, but in the end it turns out that something very distant andeven sometimes detached. Like gone somewhere no one unknown spirit, but an important and valued as nothing in this book, but instead, in the guise of an endless party atmosphere and surroundings general fun, there was a bright 3D show, making of a film - the film a commercial.

Haruki Murakami on behalf of the hero of his book, "Norwegian Wood" wrote that in the novel "The Great Gatsby" does not exist introductory pages. The film turned out to be plenty of them.Even better, all the introductory part of the film was filled with something superfluous, unnecessary, confusing, catchy and pathetic. Feelings of sincere bust paints those events.In all of this, it does not wish to grasp the immensity, but only the future common border actions that appears to the uninformed viewer of the painting.And this is the clear bias in fact spoils everything that is possible and impossible, depriving the film to qualify for any top awards, such as "Globe" or "Oscar".True, after the appearance in the event-stream Leonardo DiCaprio all changes dramatically in a positive way, reconciles, calms down. In the movie there is some refinement and its brand.Perhaps only because of the creation of Baz Luhrmann's pass and it is not necessary, since all the most valuable in it begins about the second third of the film.

The plot is essentially change is difficult, as in other matters, and overall morale. It is possible to miss something, to cover up, to cut, but the overall framework is still untouched.Confused only STAYS Nick Karraueya in a mental hospital, and although this can be reconciled.The actor, Toby Maguayeyr, has proven its ability to play a major role in the dramatic example of "Brothers" is this ability has confirmed, however, from it anything extraordinary was required.His character served like a bridge between the audience and its history, which included not only Jay Gatsby, but the general meaning of the work.

Enough faded watched Carey Mulligan, that in general it is surprising because it is just capable of a lot. Her character, and she perceived the film as a given.Opposing sense of self is Joel Edgerton, who was in the image of Tom Buchanan did not know. A special feature runs through the whole movie party Leonardo DiCaprio as a key figure in the film.

Outcome: Perhaps the main phenomenon of the film Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" is that despite a lot of the thousand flaws, watch his awesome nice.It's just a beautiful sight for the eyes that are frozen on the screen alone, ceasing to look your watch, or climb into his pocket for a mobile phone to find out how much time.Thus, from the serious, classical tragedy to get a real fairy, festival of colors and movements to the music under the total weight of which dissolves not only the form, and morality itself.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Novel "The Great Gatsby" Francis Scott Fitzgerald has already become a classic, adapted for the screen many times, and will definitely become a favorite book for many.And, perhaps, little can be expected from the next movie about Jay Gatsby, except for the colorful scenery and gorgeous special effects. But it is in such a film is not important.Much more important is the script, the actors work, the correct selection of scenes from the novel. After seeing the trailer and listen to the music for the film, one can hardly hope for all of these qualities. Rap in the film about the era of jazz? How possible? And really then it really was so bright and brilliant as the authors show us?

So that the original opinion of the film does not add too good, and I personally, when I first saw the trailer, decided that from that little can be expected.Even after reading the book, one can not be fully convinced that the filmmakers can accurately convey the perspective of the novel and say what he wanted to say Fitzgerald. Still, the book has had the desired impact on me, and I wanted to see "The Great Gatsby". Since the premiere, I was not able to get there and went to the movies only after a week and a half after the rental, I had time to read a lot of reviews.Seeing that most of them are positive, I was relieved. But after that I had read the negative, to understand what is missing in the film.So negative comments created a biased opinion about the movie. But, despite this, while watching my personal opinion formed itself completely, despite the fact that I have read before.

I did not notice any promashek in the script. It was just like a book. At least, that was important for the development of the plot, it was made into a film, so that people do not read novels FSFitzgerald could all understand. The only downside was the duration of the film. In some moments I just got bored.Perhaps it was due to the fact that I had already read the book and knew what the outcome of each scene. However, this is no excuse for the authors of the film in some places tightened and nerds.But still, I want to pay tribute to that unnecessary scenes, that is, those that are not important for the further development of events in the movie almost was not, at least I have not noticed.

There are some moments in the film, which was not in the book. And vice versa. And if most of gag annoying and spoils the impression from the movie, here I even liked the author's ideas. They only reinforce the impression of the film.

A selection of actors too, it was quite a decent. Leonardo Dicaprio just great fit into the role of Jay Gatsby. It was exactly what needs to be such as I imagined him in the book. Carey Mulligan also look good in the role of Daisy Buchanan, she really shone from within, it was the same as in the novel. But Tobey Maguire It stands out from the overall picture, and quite frankly, it is absolutely not his role.He looked too young, and I could not escape the thought that it is the same Peter Parker, who somehow found himself in the early twentieth century. And, accordingly, Nick Carraway from it whatsoever. Not least because he was just a boy in comparison with the hero of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

In terms of acting to me, perhaps, except DiCaprio especially nobody liked.But while the characters that eventually were to cause only disgust, fulfilled their task: in the end, you come to the conclusion that they do not really deserve to communicate with Gatsby.And I think it is mainly the merit of the actors. So to say that only DiCaprio was great, and all the rest - no, I can not. Just on their background Leo stood very good acting.

I'll be back to music. In general, I could not imagine, as I wrote above that rap can somehow fit into a film about the twenties, about the era of jazz. At the same time, I even liked the way it looked in the end.It is unusual, but not pretentious. It was heard that plays modern music, but it is very well laid down in the picture.

Probably still worth noting scenery. Yes, they were bright, colorful and crowded shine. But again, the overall picture they formed very well. They perfectly conveys chic at the time. They are not irritated, quite the contrary. There's just everything was in its place, as it should be. Not much and not too little.

Called the film easy to grasp at all impossible. Is that only in the beginning. But in the end it turns out to us psychological filmAfter which it is impossible to move away from the incident. And this is attributed to the pluses picture, because after the book are exactly the same experience. And this is also the merit of the authors.

I was also surprised by the fact that the film is made in 3D. It seemed to me that in this format you need to do only those pictures in which a lot of action, that is, mostly militants. I was wrong.It is better to watch the film in 3D. Here it is quite qualitative and more immersed in the atmosphere of the last century.

As a result, we got a decent adaptation of the novel that really need to see, even if you are not an admirer of F. Scott Fitzgerald.In the film, everything is on the level, and the majority can be considered quibbles sucked from the finger.For me the biggest mistake authors were invited Tobey Maguire on a key role, and the downside was the length of the film, but he simply could not be otherwise:too many important material, which must be on the screen. Well, everything else pales against the backdrop of the plot and the main idea of ​​the film. So I advise everyone to start to read the book and then watch it on a screen version Baz Luhrmann. You will get great pleasure and immerse yourself in a crazy era of jazz and merriment.

Invisible pendulum swinging silently between despair and new hope ... (c)

In the movie, I went, having heard many conflicting reviews about the film, completely unprepared in the sense that FS Fitzgerald read at school.That is, I vaguely imagined story, remembering only the names of the three main characters, and I could not compare with what.But as soon as the cinema went captions, and turn on the lights in the hall, returning to reality, I caught myself thinking that I want to have it reviewed, and always read the book!Because the film has made me quite impressed. Perhaps also because it resonates with my personal emotions.

Plot. It can be viewed from two different, but overlapping each other, position. On the one hand - this is a picture of society at that time. His manners. And not just society and its elite, upper class.Merriment and drinking, glitter and surfeit of all that is possible, the lack of any spiritual guidance, something genuine and present.Tinsel and masks that conceal the ruthlessness and void. Man, this intrinsically different from "secular society" is not accustomed to be someone else, because he has other values.So is Nick, this was Gatsby. And perhaps that is why between them there is the little strange friendship.On the other hand - it is a personal story and the tragedy of a man named Jay Gatsby, unfolding before our eyes.Here, thanks to the bright play of Leonardo DiCaprio, as if illuminating the whole movie - it can be seen already this psychological drama. About love, dreams, expectations, illusions and incredible, overwhelming hope and forgiving. The fact that to some extent close to each of us.

Aktrёry. Jay Gatsby - Stunning work DiCaprio! I never doubted his talent, but here, as Gatsby is hard to imagine anyone but him!Gesbi all-on throughout the film figure is not unique, it can not be called perfect.Moreover, at some point you even start to doubt it, ofy just as Nick almost believe the words of Tom.But then, in the end, you realize that in spite of everything, it is much more honest in something, nobler, deeper and more sincere than all the people around him. The same daisy, which he so devotedly loved.Moreover, it seemed to me, in the movie, and Leo Gatsby even a little better than in the book, it is a little more idealistic and romantic, a little more light and thin feeling a little less ambitious.

We all loved one often seems better than it is. Gatsby is built into the stage of the absolute. He loves the illusion ghost. Daisy from the past, Daisy, in her dreams.Without noticing, not wanting to notice how a real daisy different from his illusions. He wants to bring them back to the past, demanding that it is impossible.But it loves so much, because it wants to protect ... Next to it begin to glow like Gatsby, becomes another, better ... (should also be said about the smile Leo as Gatsby, from herIt comes a heat, light and confidence! ..). Only here the real person is almost impossible to comply with the illusion, his own image of themselves - and it is also a tragedy.He lives with hope, but hope its the same illusions about Daisy.And the tragedy is that he does not want to recognize - the past does not return, no matter how hard you try, went to some length of time, people tend to change ... or to show the qualities that seem toThey are absent. Gesbi until recently strongly believes in his dream, and this discrepancy seems to me, and it destroys the moral ....Because it is very difficult to realize that from your dreams were only meaningless fragments. All what you have sought for so long, for which he lived, suffered ... there was only an illusion.

Daisy Byukenen - To be honest, I was surprised by Carey Mulligan. Daisy from it turned out great. Such as it should be. A beautiful, alluring, like a dream, shining outside, frivolous.And if in the beginning of the film she almost sympathize and even in some moments you know it, the closer to the end ... It seems empty and miserable, both in their words and in their behavior.Time will not return, and the current situation it is quite happy that she did not speak, and no matter how izobrazala martyr of himself in public.

Nick Carraway. By Toby Maguaeru perhaps the greatest claim, because most of his film Nick some absolutely indifferent aloof from all the action, with the same cold, frozen expressiona person or a little silly half-smile. Its nothing really does not apply, it just completely indifferent observer. Meanwhile, in a book about Nick, I got a different view.However, closer to the final situation is corrected, and Toby finally shows emotion, and therefore, his character begins to better understand.At the end of the film it becomes clear that Nick really nice young man, not hypocritical like all around him, and devoted friend. It is a pity that the film is almost nullified by Nick Jordan line.There was a feeling that between the two things can be. In the meantime, I think it would make the game brighter Toby.

Tom Buchanan. Joel Edgerton have turned out quite exact hit in the image. Tom seems pushy and rude, but it is not as simple as it seems.He is a typical product of its time, and the exact opposite of Gatsby morally and emotionally. At the end of the film, Tom becomes a sickeningly disgusting, and this means that the actor has coped with its task.

Music. Moments disliked strongly. Especially struck by hearing the hip-hop. Then I did not understand what was the idea, did not see the point. All the time it seemed that the music should be lighter, deliberately frivolous or ductile-jazz.

In conclusion, we note that in general, Baz Luhrmann very carefully transferred the contents of the book to the screen. Leaving the reflections of the author on behalf of Nick's narrative style.At the same time, the film does not feel very "retro", but rather the contrary, sounds more than modern. And it's not in the music, costumes and visual component, which placed great emphasis not.The fact that the issue affected both the book and the film, the topic sounds very relevant for our time.In our world where the status and the "success" often the soul is more important, that the person inside.Shine and taste of money, parties, costumes and cocktails, permissiveness - blind eyes ... But it is worth to dig deeper, and that will be there for a loschёnoy, elegant outer shell? ..And it is from this realization becomes so sad in the end of the film, and after reading the book of the same name.

So we're trying to go forward, fighting over, and it all blows and blows our boats back to the past. FS Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby"

Loud music, rhythms and beats, swinging a hot body, the sea of ​​alcohol, colorful paint, champagne, neon glow, tinsel and a sparkling stream of vibrant life, charged with energypermissiveness, when skirts get shorter, deeper neckline, relaxed thoughts and acts more daring. This is the world of the rich and famous, a world where the ball is ruled by money and connections.Artificial an artificial world in which there is no real feelings and emotions, there is a mask on their faces and the emptiness in my heart. On this and many other book tells the story, which has become a classic - "The Great Gatsby" by Francis Scott Fitzgerald.

The novel, which was released in 1925, became one of the best specimens of the era of the lost generation, and Fitzgerald - one of the best writers of his time.With concealed sadness he wrote about society, rolling to moral decay and decomposition of the hero, which is alien to this society and can not find it in the outside world, their place.The idealist and romantic by nature, the one who bore the imprint of the First World War, became a catharsis of terror and pain for many creative people and the effects of which were felt for many and many years. And even touch us. Through the work and movies.

Baz Luhrmann faithfully went to the film adaptation of the piercing and incredibly fine novel. The plot is the same, the characters are the same, just wrap became louder and more modern, brighter and more colorful.And, in my opinion, the film will only win. The atmosphere of overwhelming sadness, romance and helplessness has not got nowhere, chasing a mirage and hope still forms the basis of the narrative. The film has become a modern and adapted to our age. And incredibly stylish.

Jay Gatsby's tragedy - a tragedy all the lost generation.The idealist and romantic, the man who created himself out of nothing, a man remarkable open-mindedness, he can not get along in contemporary society. It seems to him a faceless, boring, empty and useless.All these idle party, the main essence is in the consumption of alcohol and dance till you drop. Its fine soul requires otherwise. Something real, unspoiled, natural and deep.He sees it as a Daisy Buchanan.He creates himself out of it ideal as it is proving to be a simple pacifier, do not realize the breadth of the soul and of the eccentricity that has people, so sincere and loves itfor many years. She did not have to. She was comfortable in the conditions in which she lives, and she did not want to change anything.The only person who understands Gatsby and his aspirations, but remains much more realistic rather than sky-high romantic, was just Nick Carraway. This person in this crazy world and a colorful one true friend of Jay Gatsby.

In my opinion, the actors get into the book images. Leonardo DiCaprio's never been so romantic since the "Titanic", and the subtlety of his playing Jay Gatsby makes the image thus wrote some of his FSFitzgerald.Tobey Maguire perfectly embodies his character slightly ridiculous and unsightly, feeling like a stranger in this world of the rich and famous and is the most present among the exterior facade and falsesmiles. In Carey Mulligan in this role there is something unearthly. The light and airy, and it flits through life, as did the Book of Daisy Buchanan. Insanely I liked Isla Fisher. This bright and catchy. And good was Joel Edgerton.

"The Great Gatsby" by Baz Luhrmann - bright phantasmagoria flavored colorful splashes of colors and shades of life.Stylish and modern, it sings a lonely man, misunderstood and abandoned, an idealist and romantic living his dream and its indispensable implementation.But this is the life is cruel.Gatsby can be accused of naivety in fanaticism, but it does not cancel the fact that people with a boundless faith and hope, so able to love seeing this world is not like the others, muchwider and deeper unity. FS Fitzgerald created the image of a man who does not know his place and desperately trying to find him. A Baz Luhrmann carefully moved it to the screen.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
The film stunned me. Perhaps it was because I did not read the novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald (he has a philologist I).However, we can not say that I was going to "The Great Gatsby" absolutely unprepared. I am very interested in America early last century 20s.I read about this time some books, watching good and bad movies and series, knew who the bootleggers and why they were "new Russian" of the time.

I began to get sympathy or some even stronger feelings about this film almost immediately.It's right on a course of action, here and now, in the auditorium, under the incessant whispering, chimes and mobile phones under the crunch of popcorn answered almost all of my requests and lowlyhighly exalted audience.I myself am at this moment, at this hour was a cousin Nick Karraueyem, suddenly find themselves in luxury, shine, rays of spotlights, intoxicating lightness of being and unrestricted freedom in the richness of the interiors.I imagine what effect the novel Fitzgerald those, alas, quite rare readers who have already appreciated the book even during the life of the author. During America's rapidly approaching the Great Depression, but still do not realize ....

Of course, in a simplified sense, it could be called the plot of the novel, and with it, and the film - the history of a great and unfortunate love, of love, gave birth to the universe of James Gatsby, love,which forced the comet Gatsby glow brighter and burn faster ... But, as it seems, design and Fitzgerald, and director Baz Luhrmann (what is he a handsome man - a movie shot!) is wider and more varied.It shows the ins and outs of this bright and sparkling society for a luxurious facade which there is no place for an adequate morality, there is no honor and dignity.

And the society is literally srygnulo Karraueyya Nick and James Gatsby, one grinding into dust, and injuring another, probably forever.At the end of the film I was literally shaking with disgust to all these pompous and terrible pacifier. All the worse, of course, Daisy.What kind of mind what kind of sensibility she reasoned the day of arrival of Nick? Who put her head in these smart, but I did not mind it? Would it - it would have been reported, agreeing with them. Monstrous dissonance. Emptiness. The falsity. And not a hint of the green light that is visible ... units.

On the technical side of the film, as far as I can tell, he's done perfectly. This is a rare example where the Hollywood gloss and scope is not to harm but only good.As part of the music only allowed himself a little to find fault. It is very harmonious, but it is present for some time, takes the viewer in our time, taking the time, described Fitzgerald.Perhaps this is some kind of hidden message, they say, and now not much has changed: the children of wealthy parents, "golden youth", all as a top-down look at those who have them in their delusional view, no match. However, the music's the 50s, for example, would be more appropriate for my taste.

In my opinion, Leonardo DiCaprio was born for the role of James Gatsby.No, of course he has a lot of other good roles (especially in early Leo), but this role - his best in the mature period for my taste.I have not seen such a long time since a perfect hitting the target, such a coincidence of the image and the actor. Like a literary image stuck to the actor, merged with him, got into the blood, the skin became.Perhaps only George Clooney, and that twenty years ago, could also clearly play this role because, in my opinion, he is endowed with exactly the same natural talent that DiCaprio - boundless charm.

P.S. I will say a few words about the auditorium. For some reason he was half empty, but it hooked me (in the end, it was not the premiere - all may have looked).In the hall were mostly very young girls are no less than young boys. Coming out of the hall, every second of them said roughly the same thing: "Well, is not very."I walked alongside and inwardly seething.She just wanted to roar out loud, "What do you know this?" It seemed to me that none of them does not understand anything, and I'm such a sensitive and intelligent, understood everything, all experienced. I understand, as funny as it is snobbish sounds, but I swear at that moment I felt myself and.

P.S.S. Give already Leo DiCaprio an Oscar, good citizens.

P.S.S.S. Now, by all means read the novel to read the entire Fitzgerald, certainly read all their starry generation!
