The great Gatsby

As i always mention, between a book and its movie, i always prefer the book, where you can imagine it as you want because i believe readers of a book are as important as their writers. Readers are those who give lives to the characters , scenes and events of a story.
Well this movie was not an exception.I am not saying that the movie was a bad one, in fact i loved it, i was amazed with it and i didn't even realize it was 2.5 hours and of course i recommend it to everyone to watch it.It has just enough amount of luxury, romance, adventure and depth in it and i believe each audience can connect to it in their own level ( well maybe i am exaggerating a little bit;D)

But my argument is i liked the book much more, because when i was reading it, i fantasized it so differently, more classic, deeper and much more dark.

The story is about a man in love who made a fantasy world just to get his beloved back. and the girl who falls in love with this world he made, but maybe not with him anymore.

The movie was very well made, good acting, beautiful and ostentatious scenes, great music and very much entertaining, but definitely it was a Hollywood movie and it is not going to be on the list of the movies one has to watch before die.

I am giving 6.5 out of 10 to this movie just because it kept me entertained for 2.5 hours.

I am not a big fan of history, i mean history is important,it should be read and thought of. But well i am not crazy about it.
I hesitated watching this movie because i know so little about the history of the US, but well being the academy award nominated and winner, i finally decided to give it a try.

It is a very beautiful movie, full of great conversations, so if you are a fan of special effects and scenery , this movie is not for you. you have to listen and feel and get excited. How this man tried to establish the equality between black and white, how he tried to get the voted he needed, how his family were supportive of him. Other than Lincoln himself, his wife played a very beautiful role in the movie, as an educated,witty and aware lady.

Now i can say i liked the movie very much and if you think you have 2.5 hour and patience, i really recommend this movie. It has all the potentials to be one of the must sees of all the time, but not quite there.
