In the first half of the movie, the premise before Gatsby's appearance was a bit too long, but Gatsby's performance after his appearance did not meet the audience's expectation of being held up by those rich and colorful foreshadowing. The rhythm of the second half of the story is more reasonable and can grab the audience's attention. Although the final ending is expected, it is also a good turning point.
The flaw lies in the soundtrack of this film, which can be said to be a major failure. In addition to the literary and sad song at the end of the film, the background music interspersed in the film can be summed up as "what the fuck". In such an old school era, all parties were East Coast rap and electronic music. . . . . . Director, I really thank you for not using West Coast gang rap and Dubstep for the soundtrack.
Overall, the story is good, the shooting is good, there are some minor flaws but the viewing is quite high.
