Just watched The Great Gatsby with Nancy.
It was such an amazing movie!!!! Was a while since I last watched a good one as this. Enjoyed every minute of it!!
Started off with the attraction of a rich life. The extravagance. The glamour. The parties. The wine. The beauty.
It was portrayed so wonderfully!!! Colours and laughter everywhere. The high they get, and the low that comes after...
Then there's the contrast of the blacks. The mining field. The dirt, poverty and sickness.
Finally, the carelessness of the rich. How uncaring they can be. How selfish they are. How cold life can be.
The movie left me feeling so heavy inside. My chest felt like a stone was crushing it and I had no way of lifting it up. Then again, that's a sign of a good movie, no?
Before I watched the movie, I never thought Leonardo as handsome/hot before. Not even when he was in Titanic. Charming, definitely. But never did find him attractive.
BUT. The way he acted before meeting Daisy, his love in the movie - was so real. Made me feel for him. And that scene when he was about to meet her over tea - the intense look in his eyes. Totally took my breath away!!!!
There was this line in the move. "...in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometime"
SO VERY TRUE!!!
