"So we beat on..."

Last night, I finally got to see one of the most phenomenal movies I have seen in a long time, The Great Gatsby.  I have to admit, from the moment  I saw the trailer, I was counting down the days until the movie was released.  I mean, a movie with Leonardo can't ever go wrong. (Ever since Titanic, I have been a little bit obsessed.)

I have to tell you, the movie blew my expectations out of the water.  Not only was the acting amazing and the setting breathtaking, but the movie was very similar to the book.  I am always impressed when a director can take the picture in my mind and make it a reality without distorting the original author's work.  The movie left me with a longing to see it again as soon as possible.  I definitely would recommend this one!

  

  

Have you see The Great Gatsby? What did you think?

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter—to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
