The Great Gatsby

I'm not one to write about movies much in my blog unless I find them truly and remarkably unique and well written as well as played. Despite hearing the title on the television and papers as well as on the radio I never had the urge to watch it. To me it was just as normal movie as the others I have seen, came out of the hall and wavering it away maybe with a little more compliments than I usually give when comparing to the other movies I've watched. However, it had to be something that drew this interest in me into wanting to watch it so bad.

It began when my brother was listening to one of the soundtrack nonetheless everybody had probably heard this song before called Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray (A true masterpiece song by the way). He told me the summary of the story and mention that it probably be my type of movie. I began pastering my sister to accompany me and recalling all the comments I've heard I couldn't hold my patience.

Never watched the trailer, and when the movie started I was thinking to myself " this is gonna be like those other movies I can't wait to get out of". Clearly I was wrong, or I won't be writing this on my blog. The movie is well written, it's like reading it out of a book (though i haven't read the book), there were no glitches or hanging moment. The whole storyline was well put and the characters who played them were amazing. You saw the art behind it, how blind love could be that leads to stupidity of the mind for years, how love could be so strong that created hope in a person till the end of time. This movie shows the selfish people who thought of themselves and how inconsiderate they can be. The thought of how we overlook the true beauty in people and that lies could taint a person so bad without realising that maybe that just wasn't the truth and that was the surface people paint on that person. Listen and see beyond the surface, there could be many reason a person acts such a way. It is not about being rich with brands and materials but it's about the blindness of people and how some could care more for materialistic objects rather than the love that could bring you happiness till the end and also hope. The years of hope that kept one determined to actually get what they want and live each day.

I apologise for sounding a little harsh but whoever thought of watching this movie over the props used from Tiffany. Co or Swarovski or anything related to that, it's clearly you don't appreciate the art and beauty of people's work but the material stuff. This movie deserve an applause ( I had to bear in mind that this wasn't a broadway show and resist myself from giving the movie an applause like how Les Misérables got in the cinema when everybody began applauding at the end). My repeated comment is, it is beautifully written and a true masterpiece of a movie. Do watch it.
