Movie Review
Films
and books - books and films ?! What's better and can these two
things get compared?
Is
the book really always better than the movie or are movies miles
ahead of books?
These
are all difficult questions but I tried to find an answer ; even
though not everyone will be satisfied with my results.
For
my 'research' I chose my favourite book of all time 'The Great
Gatsby'. This classic book was
so lovely written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and I have already posted
about it
Due
to the fact that I love it and that I have read it like a hundred
times , I wanted to watch the movie as well. First I was not sure if
I really should watch it as I didn't want my attitude towards it to
change. As I could not help myself I did it and I was pleasantly
surprised. The actors – a who is who of Hollywood; the movie scenes
– magnificent and the dialogues – could not have been better !!
The
atmosphere of the book was captured within everything. You could,
literally, feel the emotions of the characters – their love,
passion and fear. The filmmaking techniques were great but this was
to be expected as it was made by the same man who did 'Moulin
Rouge'.
I
did like the soundtrack as well. The music fitted the movie in a real
good way. I especially liked the song 'Love is blindless' by Jack
White (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWir6wUkPtw).
It is so tragic, melancholic and full of love. An amazing song for an
amazing movie – outstanding matching!
I
recommend you see the movie – it is worth your time. You get love,
passion, anger and fear mixed with affairs, gangster activities and
romance during one of the most fascinating decade – the roaring
twenties.
I would like to end my review with my best-liked quote of the movie:'I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool — that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
If
you want to see the trailer :
It
is worth the click – believe me
