GREAT GATSBY 2013,not an Oscar worthy movie.
Acting is mediocre and slow despite all those shouting back and forth .
The production is very much Hollywoodesque to satisfy action thirsty audiance ,and because of that love scenes look pale,and close ups won't help.
Computer is playing a big role in this production to make it different with previous one, and still does not help.So if any credit probably goes to the long festivities and glowing partes,if not the music and somehow editing,to provide further excitement for today's cinema goers.
I am going back to read Scott Fitzgerald's novel again and watch Robert Redford and Mia Farrow once more .
Are oldies still goodies or we just think?!
Are computers a deviant catalyst in cinematography or we are just used to conventional movie making?
Is the time over for grand literary works translating to cinema or we do not have to loose our patience and hope?
Is TCM shown on small screen in our living room preferred to expensive productions shown on silver screen of movie theatres?
And the band goes on...
Never give up on the seventh art!
A pure cinema is preferred to anything,even...!
see my note on the book:great Gatsby ,on 7.18.2013
Not Canne Festival worthy either !
