  4. Gatsby

    Loved it ; I can't wait to see it again !!!

    Don't want to say too much so all can discover its wonders for themselves , but , like Calibi , I loved the entire

    scene where Gatsby and Daisy see each other again.

    I think because we saw a few seconds of that scene in almost every trailer, one wrongly thinks you 'know' that scene but what a marvelous surprise lays ahead for all :heart:

    Love today's Forbes article regarding Gatsby's box office so far

    Friday Box Office: 'The Great Gatsby' Stuns With $19.4 Million Friday, Likely $50m+ Weekend.

    God, I love box office surprises like this. Obviously the whole ‘doomed second weekend of summer‘ curse couldn’t compete with what appears to be a perfect merging of star power (DiCaprio’s about to have his second-largest debut weekend) and concept (a high-energy, 3D adaptation of a novel that nearly every American high school student has read), but this is somewhat unprecedented. As I wrote last week, the second big would-be blockbuster of summer generally tanks, unless the summer kick-off film is somewhat loathed. I’m not sure whether the 72% plunge for Iron Man 3 counts as audience rejection, especially as the film is still going to do around $65 million for the weekend. But let’s presume that Warner Bros. just pulled off something kind of incredible, breaking its own curse and more importantly opening a risky project well above realistic expectations.

    The Great Gatsby is that rare thing, a genuine star-driven character drama playing like a blockbuster. With $19.4 million on Friday, including $3.3 million in Thursday late shows, the Baz Luhrmann adaptation is heading for a shocking $50 million-$55 million opening weekend, depending on how front loaded it was. The film cost anywhere from $120 million to $160 million, although Warner Bros. is claiming extensive rebates for shooting in Australia brought the budget down to $105 million. If that’s true, then The Great Gatsby may end up being quite profitable if it can replicate this kind of interest overseas. I’ll go into more details tomorrow, but Warner Bros. marketing deserves bonuses this weekend, because with the high-profile date change from December, the mixed-negative reviews, and the somewhat divisive trailers, this easily could have been a disaster, ‘release-date curse’ or not.

    Osa

  5. Oh my GOSH!!!!! So many great reviews when it comes to our Leo Gatsby...I'm so happy that I dont even know how to express my feelings towards it! LOL You girls have done an amazing job posting so many things about the movie!! :clap::clap:

    I can see they are already saying this is his best performance or maybe his career best. But what I've come to know, is that when it comes to Leo, we may never know what's his best performance cause he always comes through in everything he does.

    Tks for everything sweeties!! :flower:

  6. Baz Luhrmann: 'I want to make Hamlet with Leonardo DiCaprio'

    Baz Luhrmann has revealed that he would like to make another Shakespeare adaptation.

    The Great Gatsby director told The Hollywood Reporter that his dream next project would be a version of Hamlet starring Leonardo DiCaprio

    Asked what his next collaboration with DiCaprio would be, Luhrmann replied: "Hamlet. To me, Gatsby is the American Hamlet. What else could we possibly do as a follow-up? It's just a dream at this point."

    The first reviews of The Great Gatsby have been published in the US, prior to the film's European premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

    A new set of promotional images was released last week, showing DiCaprio as mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as his socialite former flame Daisy, and Tobey Maguire as war veteran Nick Carraway, who becomes entranced by Gatsby's decadent world.

  7. Oxford,

    I can see it's Leo who's getting the best compliments on film and we never know what was his best performance as he sounds incredible in everything he does. And I'm sure that once again he knocked it out of the park!! :clap:

    Tks for the updates girls!! :flower:

  8. Yeah...nice review too.... :hehe:

    DiCaprio fares far better as Gatsby, a poignant figure laid low by his desire to acquire enough riches to win back his true love. It’s been 17 years since DiCaprio appeared in Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, but you can see much of the last decade of his career in his portrayal of Gatsby: the thwarted ambition of Howard Hughes from The Aviator, the dark intensity of Teddy Daniels in Shutter Island, and the romantic anguish of Dom Cobb from Inception.

    Of late, DiCaprio seems drawn to roles where he plays dashing, confident, worldly men who cannot overcome some fatal flaw that threatens to undo everything they’ve accomplished. His Gatsby is very much cut from the same cloth, and while it’s largely affecting — now well into his thirties, he can better utilise his still-boyish face to wring great pathos — it’s also a touch familiar at this point.

  9. 'The Great Gatsby' review: A good 'Gatsby,' but a great DiCaprio

    The good thing about this review as the source 'newsday' is one of the review sites that have their reviews repeated in local papers where there is no local film critic, so it gets more exposure them some reviews to general public

    There's a lot to like about "The Great Gatsby," Baz Luhrmann's flashy, messy, manic adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel. That slim but thematically tricky little volume remains a captivating riddle, which may be why no filmmaker has created the "definitive" version. Luhrmann, the fourth to try, hasn't, either -- there's a lot to dislike here as well -- but his is easily the most entertaining "Gatsby" yet.

    It's a product of its time, as were the others: a 1926 silent, a 1949 noir and a gauzy 1974 romance starring hunk-of-the-moment Robert Redford as the mysterious Long Island millionaire Jay Gatsby. This version is a postmodern pastiche: Flappers gyrate to Jay-Z, Gatsby's Gold Coast mansion looks like a Disneyland castle and Jazz Age New York has more candy-colored costumes and confetti than a Katy Perry concert. (Make that Madonna; Luhrmann's vision of pop spectacle sometimes recalls the 1980s more than the 1920s or 2010s.)

    The anachronisms hammer home an obvious point -- 'twas ever thus! -- which would get tiresome if not for some outstanding performances. Carey Mulligan is picture perfect as Gatsby's aristocratic beloved, Daisy Fay Buchanan, but the character's vibrancy has been written away; now she's just sad, sad, sad. Tobey Maguire, as Nick Carraway, strikes a nice blend of passivity and outrage, while Joel Edgerton, as Daisy's husband, Tom, is a revelation, bringing out the nobility in this story's go-to villain. Crucial roles, such as the jet-setting Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki) and the ill-used Myrtle Wilson (Isla Fisher), are reduced to near-cameos.

    As for Leonardo DiCaprio, he is now the Gatsby to beat. Despite a borderline comedic entrance -- haloed by fireworks and accompanied by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" -- DiCaprio nails this maddeningly enigmatic character. He's as tough as Alan Ladd in '49, as suave as Redford in '74, but also vulnerable, touching, funny, a faker, a human. You hear it all in Gatsby's favorite phrase, "old sport," a verbal tic that stumped other actors. It's a tremendous, hard-won performance.

    DiCaprio helps save the movie from its excesses and missteps, particularly a narration that not only redundantly describes the visuals but obscures them in the form of floating words. Luhrmann hasn't solved the riddle of "Gatsby," but it's an audacious and worthy attempt.

  10. "For its first two thirds, Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is busy busy busy with nary a minute to avoid an onslaught of stylized metaphors. People keep asking me Is it like “Moulin Rouge”? Well no, it’s not nearly as unruly because Luhrmann has to stick– more or less- to the F. Scott Fitzgerald text. He has a structure and a story and at some point he has to get with the program. And he does. The last third of his Gatsby is one of the most beautiful, moving films I’ve ever seen. And the first two thirds? They are a joyride through the director’s wild imagination.

    DiCaprio is the wild card here. After playing Hoover, and Hughes, and several patrician characters, I wondered if he could differentiate among all these similar voices. But Gatsby is more like a version of Frank Abagnale the pretender from “Catch Me If You Can.” Gatsby is a dreamer, he’s obsessed with Daisy, he’s unrealistic about his goals.

    DiCaprio is an oddity in the film business. He’s the defacto leader of his generation of actors. He’s not a theater actor; he’s a movie star. But he gets lots of kudos. At 38, he gets Oscar nominations but no Oscar. His Gatsby probably won’t get him that Oscar. but he’ll get close. He begins as a ghost, to Daisy, to us. But as he gets fleshed out, this Gatsby has a lot of pathos. He’s doomed. We know it, he doesn’t. And I think DiCaprio can be very proud of this performance."
