The movie I never finished watching because I was interrupted. What I saw was great-I love DiCaprio-but not quite as complex as the book, especially with Daisy and Gatsby's relationship (though that might change towards the end of the movie, I wouldn't know). I did like how over the top the party scenes were. The music conveyed what I picture as the mood of Gatsby parties, even if it's too modern.

I'm glad they kept all the symbolism. My favorite was Daisy, she was true to character.

The first time I read this book in High School was the first time in my life that I had realized the power a book can have. And when the movie was out, I was HOOKED!!!!!!!! I can watch the movie and read the book a million times over and never get tired.
The pomp, sadness, love, foreboding tragedy, betrayal, suspicion etc. all have me hooked!
I am willing to read it again and give it another review!
