It’s really irritating how a lot of people are so goddamn nit-picky about The Great Gatsby movie, like they expected every single detail to be exactly accurate and perfect. I myself thought the movie was okay, but I wouldn’t say it was shit just because of how “different” from the book it was. Shit, the Jurassic Park and Jaws film adaptations were basically the farthest things from the books, but no one has said those movies were complete utter shit because of it, and they are two of the greatest movies ever made. Now, I’m not saying that Gatsby should be considered one of the greatest films based on a novel, I’m just saying people shouldn’t pretend like they’re english scholars and hate the movie because several details were off. At least it mostly followed the plot of the book.

The music, though. What the fuck.
