I'm skeptical. I love the novel. I dig Leo as an actor. But I hate Baz Luhrmann. His style is way too slick. And I wouldn't be surprised if a song and dance number breaks out.

Movies based on books are usually shit but I hope this is one of the exceptions. I read the book last year and I am likewise pretty skeptical that they are going to pull it off. I will go and see the movie when it comes out because I go to most of Leo’s movies and I have a soft spot for Carrie Mulligan despite the short hair. Also it better have a good sex scene

His performances don't always necessarily deserve awards, although he does makes great film choices. However, his performances in Django, and in the Aviator were excellent and award worthy.

Redford-Waterston version sucked. Leo can't lose.

Didn't like the novel, can't expect much from the film! Baz Luhrmann is the ideal director to try and put some hot air into a book about hot air.

Outside of the J Edgar Hoover flick Leo usually makes good movies. Hopefully this will be no different.

I was just watching this and don't think I can even finish. The "love" obsession and premise that a man does everything in his life for a woman is ridiculous.

The movie showed her to be a shallow cunt, and in today's Hollywood that's a rarity. While DiCaprio comes off as a simp, he is at least the sympathetic person in the relationship. His conscience is clear, hers is not.
In the book this is more clearly defined.

I'm a big Fitzgerald fan and was psyched for the film. Like most book to film adaptations, it was a major disappointment.

People were expecting Dicaprio to play it as this massive cock-swinging alpha dog, but it's just not a realistic way to write a "romantic" film these days. They want a female audience which is why he was cast in the first place. If they had cast Christian Bale in the role you could have expected a much different result.

I have a favorite quote from Fitzgerald. He could really write, which is why he's still a widely selling author decades after his death.
"Having once found the intensity of art, nothing else that can happen in life can ever again seem as important as the creative process."

Caprio has always been one of my favorite actors. Hes a top 5 actor in my book. Have you seen his performance in Django? Dude was epic!!!
In the scene where he slams his fist on a glass he is shown bleeding from his left hand and toughs it out through the whole scene, that's real blood right there. Now that's an actor.
