You seem to confirm my fears (esp. re music and casting) though I'm reassured by his keeping close to the book (which I'm about to read for the 3rd time, before seeing this film). <br />I usually like Luhrmann and LOVED 'Moulin Rouge' but was afraid that he might have over-reached himself this time, and it sounds like maybe he's done just that. But, if nothing else, this film will have done good if it can diminish the strong visual memory of Redford in the title part, which was actually good as far as it went for the 1974 film, but far too visually arresting for the nebulous character he represents. Can't see Carey Mulligan, charming as she is, out-doing Mia Farrow as Daisy.<br />Haven't decided whether to see it in 3D. Suppose I will, though your comments hardly make it essential.<br />Thanks.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-72439317536173545722013-05-12T06:13:48.153-04:002013-05-12T06:13:48.153-04:00I'm not sure how a story like "Gatsby&quo...I'm not sure how a story like "Gatsby" benefits from 3D.
