Ack, that new movie was pretty disgraceful, from more than a few standpoints. I will give props that Gatsby's and the Buchanans' houses were imagined quite beautifully.
It's quite over the top really. It may be off-putting for some, but I quite like the maximalism of that film.

Sure, of course. The Great Gatsby is universally considered to be one of the greatest pieces of American literature.

You mean the music? Maybe. It was one of those things that was supposed to make the story more relevant to our time. Didn't quite work for me. I prefer real 20's music over today's remixes of them.

The rap was stupid. The electroswing made sense though. (It's also my favorite genre of music).
Example of electroswing
