I cant believe...
I just saw The Great Gatsby last night.
Honestly, I had waaay too high of expectations for the movie. I've adore the book since I was forced to read it junior year of high school. I was counting down the minutes all day until I got to see the movie. I even chose to stay up late last night even though I didn't get any sleep the night before. Yep, literally about 3 hours of sleep the night before. Thats dedication.
My favorite part of the movie? Costumes and settings. The Buchanan and Gatsby's house holds were to die for. Even Nicks, too! Such a cute little cottage.
What I wasn't too crazy about? The filming. They tried to make it 'too modern'. Also as much as I love the soundtrack before seeing the movie, I personally feel like the current music took away from the era given to the story.
I can now see why critics didn't rate it so well, but I recommend it to you and it's something you do NOT want to miss!
Have you seen it? What do you think?
