A yes the Jazz Age and what an age it was when music and money were really big at the time and music by African American's also at that time was starting to really become popular. and Keep in mind a lot of this happen before the stock market crashed of 1929.
Although I never read the book I have seen the classic cover a lot and what's sad that despite it being popular today it was a big flop in sales and critics called the writer out of touched back in 1925 after that his career then became more difficult.
.When I watched the movie I really liked the music and all the craziness of everyone at Gatsby's parties or at those what I call clubs at the time which were secret hideouts for people who want to drink due to probation at the time and even cops are seen but don't care since they are dying for a drink making me wonder did people really bribe the cops that well back then.
The affairs where kind of annoying to me I mean sure seeing it like once or twice is fine but this movie did this way too often and What my next problem is that Nick Carraway seemed to had his chance with a woman, but after the car crash it nothing happens between them.
The Funeral is dark cold and depressing a man who took the blame for that dead woman and her husband comes and kills Gatsby with a gun before killing himself.
The ending is also like bad to worse and that almost nothing good has come out of any of the characters putting the ending to the were Nick on what looks like he's writing a book although it's really a memoir to which I guess to publish for people to know the real truth.
Well This isn't Leonardo DiCaprio best film but it's interesting non the less although I do wish he choose movies more often that are not set in the 1920's -1930's.
