The Great Gatsby Movie

               The Great Gatsby movie, in my opinion, was a work of art.  Although its dramatic over-exaggerations were sometimes annoying, most of them spectacularly brought the book to life. Unlike many other major production films, The Great Gatsby nearly stood to every aspect of its plot. There were only a few skips of details and a couple fabricated additions for the director's vision, but none in which I found offensive. 
              One added cut to the movie that I noticed was how Nick's introduction as the narrator was completely different from the book. In the beginning of the novel, Mr. Carraway is given credulity as an un-bias author as he shared his father's advice of never judging anyone who does not have the same advantages. However, in the film, Nick is first shown with a therapist trying to rid his alcohol issues from the trauma after the incident. Ironic, being that his first impression in writing was prestigious and stable, while in the movie, he was simply a wreck. Nonetheless, that was the only major difference that shook me throughout the motion picture. Other minor changes included the disregard to Jordan's dishonesty and the luncheon at the hidden corrupted bar.
              Other than that, I absolutely loved The Great Gatsby soundtrack! Its music dug the depth of the roaring 20's. Sure there was already plenty of jazz music throughout the film to understand the era of the time as well. However, the nostalgic and romantic voice of Lana intensified scenes between Gatsby and Daisy. Likewise, Jay Z's powerful rap told of corruption as Wall Street boomed with business. Bringing in familiar genres of music was not a negative in my opinion, it was in fact a genius way to connect the movie to the audience's perspectives. 
               I praise The Great Gatsby movie because it was a golden classic for us to watch, rather than the traditional mindless film productions that are usually released nowadays.
