Wow this behind the scenes was amazing. They really don't let you down with anything. The movie was absolutely beautiful and iconic in a way I think. Everyone should see it at least once. It was brilliant.
sadly it is allways like this.. movies that are done.. from deep heart of let's make something really uniqe good. put our money really in to it. and hard work.. are going under the radar.. because the money didn't went to marketing or makeing move work for oscar or other shit. money went where they should go to the movie... Such movies rise many many years after.
@@YaroLord I don't know if it could really be considered a 'cult classic' because it's based on classic literature. A cult classic is something that's a true oddity & didn't begin as a book, like Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Heathers. A Fitzgerald novel on film is not something that could be considered a cult classic, IMHO anyway.
i love Baz's direction that he took the movie. it was so dreamy, luxurious, and glamorous, the way that it should be. and the actors were all complimentary, it really brought the whole film together.
Hahahaha! Jordan Bakers character was BUTCH and the f.Scottsfitzgerald meant to write her and her imagery as just that- of course women who who think other women are “beautiful” would dig the cast actress and her “Baker “ image...
Nobody could have been a better Daisy than Carey Mulligan. Her performance left me speechless. I could feel what she felt before she even talked. She's amazing
shawnda mccormick Lol right, this is where the Nick that I am would have exited the room but you feel they are locked up in this situation they created and all participated in. A prison of their own making.
It's such a beautiful and wonderful movie. The cast, the locations, the cars, costumes and music. It's so appealing and stunning and the storyline is beyond perfect
I liked Mia Farrow's Daisy better, but Leo was an amazing Jay Gatsby. The Baz Lurhman version captured the wildness, decadence, and even violence of the era better than the original movie.
I like how Leo and Toby were long time friends and because of that friendship, it made their characters throughout the movie genuine. It was awesome ❤️
One of my all time favorite movies. Every time I watch it, I become enveloped in the plot, the characters, the setting, all of it. It feels as though I am a part of it, I am finding out who Gatsby is, alongside Nick Carraway. I fall in love with Gatsby, I fall in love with the idealized version of Daisy, I get my heart broken as Gatsby’s life is taken and as Daisy returns to her life, as if Gatsby had never existed. I feel all the characters emotions. Just the way this movie was executed, was perfect for the story of The Great Gatsby. The old movie from the 70s is just okay. They did not create such a masterpiece that was fit for a film adaptation of such a wonderful book. This movie just perfectly executes everything, you are meant to fall in love and have your heart broken, just like Gatsby when you’re watching it, you’re meant to be entranced by the parties like all the shallow people of New York, you’re meant to believe in Daisy and want to be around her, you are meant to be a part of it, in order to truly understand the magnitude of the story
The movie gives that effect because Baz brings contemporary culture into his movies, however on closer inspection of the novel, after watching the movie, it is clear that there is no homoeroticism innuendo in the novel. Fitzgerald makes it clear that Carraway was straight and attracted by women. The scene with Mr Mckee, is an addendum to the chapter and a route to explaining Nicks alcoholic amnesia rather than anything sexual. The relationship with Garsby is just admiration.
Nick wanted to be Gatsby, lots of money and some pure motive and why not the love of a hot woman. Nick says he’s the most honest person he knows, he probably thought he was better than these people, it just that they are all rich and he has zero dollars lol.
Unpopular opinion over here, but I think Tom was much worse than Daisy. He was a fucking monster. Case in point: she was *having his baby* and he was "god-knows-where with god-knows-who". He wasn't even with her when she was having his child! He cheated on her constantly and the one, *one* time she decided to be with someone else was The One That Got Away and yet everybody talks about how horrible she was, but he is straight-up abusive. For all her flaws, Daisy is Tom's victim.
Daisy was a "beautiful little fool " as her character said she wanted her own daughter to be, (in order to pretend not to notice the constant infidelity of her husband)
The fact that The Great Gatsby wasn’t Oscar nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Baz Luhrmann), Best Actor (DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actor (Maguire and Edgerton), Best Actress (Mulligan), Best Original Song and Best Visual Effects intrigues me very much
4:09 You mean, her voice sounds like money ;) Every inch of this movie is fantastic. The details, the perfect cast, the costumes... there will never be another version that can do it better and better envision the novel.
My most favorite book ever read it when i was 12 over and over until the pages fell out. I felt Leonardo did Gatsby the best .. most respectful .. and true to the story that captured my heart at 12 then anyone could ever do ❤
Thank you for sharing this video with us😊. Leonardo DiCaprio is undoubtably the King of the best actors today. What makes Leo so Great is his superbly diverse acting capabilities: Leo assumes his roles with every fiber of his body, and that’s why his acting (mannerism) is so different and outstanding in each film. But Leo has another trump card up his sleeve: he’s very intelligent. There aren’t too many Hollywood actors nowadays with all 3 qualities: talent, beauty and brains.
I think she did truly love him, but she was basically Tom's victim and went back to him because he's so incredibly abusive and controlling so she was scared. Does that make her 100% innocent, or fully excuse her changing her mind? Of course not (although in this version we never got to know what she said or didn't say to Gatsby, which I thought was fascinating to leave that as a hanging question,) but I do think that not enough people talk about how abusive Tom is and how Daisy is absolutely his victim. I feel like her return to Tom is an act of powerlessness & subservience.
Maybe it is not about “enough,” rather than the strength of the person. Maybe some people love to their greatest capacity - but it is a small (lesser than) version of love because so are they. Perhaps a big love, takes a “big person.”
@@pixiebells I kind of feel that. I get it that she didn't manage to get out of her own lack of moral and she is ultimately responsible for it... But the pressure on her given her upbringing and everything must have been huge. Is it just me to think this? Plus, I think Jay was asking too much from her. Demanding that she would negate she ever loved Tom (= equal to wanting to delete the past) was way to much for her to handle. Jay should have accepted the years that had passed and take it from there, accept that in the midtime she had gone through things. But he did non even want to see any of that, and she felt it. He was obsessed and ultimately... Would you trust to change your whole life for someone that seems more obsessed by you rather than show real love and acceptance? I don't think so... Curious to hear what you think
There's a few places in the book where it is clearly implied that Daisy is not the victim. She might be a little emotional at times, but she is not genuine in her love for anyone beyond herself. Gatsby is a toy to her.
i have watched this movie more than any other movie of all time, without getting tired of it. more than the wizard of oz, that i'd watch on tv every year. this film will carry itself for years to come..... brilliant, directing, production and editing, though i wish they kept the original ending.
It's a sort of tragedy and the lesson is the direct approach is always best when dealing with affairs of the heart . If Jay Gatsby had just come back to America and married Daisy the way so many other soldiers married their sweethearts they may have at least had a chance at happiness , but he made the mistake of thinking he had to make his fortune first in order to be worthy of her and the chance was lost .
***** If you haven't already read, "Careless People; Murder, Mayhem and The Invention of The Great Gatsby" by Prof. Sarah Churchwell, I highly recommend it. Love the film or hate it, this project is one of the most creatively captivating endeavors this ADD History buff has enjoyed in some time! I see the character of Gatsby as more of a would-be film maker, who couldn't catch on to the impromtu required for his role in his own, carefully crafted life. I think when we try to recreate the past, we perceive the residual impressions that time can only be lived once-and only by those who were appointed to occupy it. The "mirror of the psyche" that Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald donated to the eternal is a relevant biorgraphical exploration. I could actually feel Scott Fitzgeral's pen fraontically trying to retain its "Minnesota" as his neighborhood "burned down the day". After this decade had blown over, all that matter to Scott and Zelda was their daughter, Scottie; that's something to consider.
It is, it was slowed down. Lana re-recorded it in a much slower tempo just for the film. If you haven’t look at the behind the scenes for the soundtrack, it’s awesome!
I'd like to see Leonardo dicaprio simply having a happy end with his girl in his arms instead of ending dead in the water. Behond of this, the film is great
As much as I loved this version (especially the cast which is extremely talented and are all perfectly casted) I think it’s biggest flaw was putting style over substance a bit too much. They never really delve into the characters like it does into the book and feels a bit rushed. I don’t mind the hip hop as like all Baz Luhrmann movies, he wants you to feel like your in the movie itself and having a blast (like the can can scene in Moulin Rouge or the party scene in Romeo and Juliette) he clearly has a vision and was us to be apart of it. I just think it gets maybe a bit too much at times and needs to draw back
La mejor pelicula que he visyo en mi vida y os aseguro que ge visto miles de peliculas, una pelicula que marco mi corazon para siempre y que me ha enseñado mucho
It's not a wonderful romance in my view. It's only a tragedy. The whole premise to Fitzgerald's work is that Gatsby was unable to ever remain in touch with reality and in doing so lost feeling and depth as a human being. He was never a deep and feeling man perhaps. He could not cope with the poverty which could have defined him in all of the right ways. He could not cope with failure. He could not make a decent living. He was not ethical. He was a brat in many ways. He was reckless. The idea of "Daisy" was something of a hopeful metaphor and yet it was only something he created for his own selfish endeavours to capture the "prize" . He became the showy narcissist. He would not stop until he got his own way. At the end of the day it is unlikely that he actually loved Daisy. If he had loved Daisy, he would have made himself a good and ethical man and presented himself that way but he was riddled with a deeper darker need to "have it all" and show that off. It's definitely a commentary on class structures but it's not a romance so much. Class structures can bring forward illness in people. There's still examples of men in history who rose from humble beginnings without being corrupt to enjoy a greater level of wealth though, must be said to be a multi billionaire largely, not always, you have to be a horrible person to some extent. I think Baz did a great job with this movie though. I was struck by the larger than life and intensely layered aesthetic of this movie. It was so dense with the layers of music, intricate sets, dance routines, pop colour and a play on some of the cult of personality stuff with reference to the industry of fame itself (such as the use of Gaga's Paparazzi song). It was so dense with these layers in tandem with the layers of "stuff" and vacuous people Gatsby filled his life with. As such we realise that at the very core of his life beyond these false facades, there is only sadness and loss and nothingness. In other words fame and money doesn't always make people happy. It's a tragedy. Fitzgerald meant no romance to be at play.
Poverty could have defined Gatsby in all the right ways? Wow, spoken by someone who both has no idea that poverty has no virtue and a complete misinterpretation of Fitzgerald's work. Fitzgerald is writing about the exact opposite here. Its only Gatsby who in the end has a soul, an imperfect one, but real one nevertheless. Daisy choices protection and comfort over her need for love. Only Gatsby understands that the real light of motivation and meaning is found in love.
You've said too much, I looked for the inspiration in him but you are more correct than I would like to admit. I saw what dove him and yes the day side of him. That is exactly what makes the wealthy Americans , it's disgusting in the end , the just willing to screw the world to be wealthy. What's wrong with them n us too sometimes. I feel like him not fora woman but for some other reason.why am I
@@hoderharris but he was corrupt in the end he did things that were unethical if you are breaking down something you have to see the flaws as well as the things about each character that was good and bad my friend.
No you would love to live as a white rich person (preferably male) in the 1920s - everyone else was fucked. That's what the book (not so much the movie but it's undoubtedly still evident) plays on so much - how the unfounded carelessness of the aristocrats impacted on every member of society, from those living in shacks amongst ashes to even those with millions themselves.
Then the Great depression happens and everything goes to shit and then wwII comes to darken the mood evem futhur...Yep, would total love the 1920s onwards! Lol xD...I'm kidding btw, don't get offended :)
Why everytime someone says that would like to live in wherever decade as 20's to 60's, there're always someone spitting the problems of these eras, condemning who said that wanted to live there? Like, c'mon, it's the person's opinion and wish, stop trying to change their minds! All eras, even today, have it's problems. In the next 50 years, someone will look at our present and say the same thing about our problems, and we now think those days are the best, better than the others, etc etc. This is really a point of view. So people need to stop trying to shove their's into other person's throat by force! If they want to live as a rich, poor, male, female, straight, homosexual, black, white in wherever era, let's them alone, it's not our problem and people is free to wish wharever they want!
Julie Yazawa so basically, you want us to lie? Want us to tell em that everything's rainbows and butterflies out there, do ya? Its the truth bruh, learn to take it and stop getting so defensive about it, geez
Cinemasins did a video on gatsby recently and brought up the pulls from "Watch the Throne" as a kind of ham fisted attempt at modernizing the story. I actually think it was done just right though. You just don't get the same context when you play the authentic musical style of the '20s. It brings up nostalgia when you're supposed to relate to the characters as if they were from this time period. And most of those modern tracks would fade out to 20's style covers of them if you listen close enough.
everyone’s praising the actors for Gatsby and Nick and while I agree, I think the guy who acted as Tom steals the show. such a great actor, especially during the scene where he argues with Gatsby.
Wow this behind the scenes was amazing. They really don't let you down with anything. The movie was absolutely beautiful and iconic in a way I think. Everyone should see it at least once. It was brilliant.
Thanks Justyce, Glad you enjoyed it.
Casting Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby was an amazing choice
I think it's the role he should have won an Oscar for. He was brilliant!!!
it was, old sport
Infact all the cast were perfect .
True but I think Tobey was a very poor Nick , nothing like how’s he’s written- it’s a shame cause everyone else was stellar
@@brabbit3389 I loved his performance, but haven't read the book, so I can imagine the displeasure
no one other than Toby Maguire could have captured the raw awkwardness of Nick Caraway
Julie Dimond yes he‘s such an great actor
Casting Toby Maguire ruined the movie for me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking, "Spiderman"
X3
@@Eraughtan Right 😂 i mean not that he ruined it, in fact I think he was great. But i also kept thinking Spider-Man
@@Eraughtan you have to get yourself lost into the 1920s

Lana Del Ray’s song was the icing on the cake.
IT REALLY WAS 😭 THE SCENE WHEN GATSBY IS THROWING THE SHIRTS ONTO DAISY AND THE SONG IS PLAYING MAKES ME CRY LOL
Personally for me it was "xx-together"
The setting was definitely precise. Felt like I was in the past for real. The way the camera moved around was amazing too.
RoyalOutcast camera man is underrated
Yes the camera works and cinematography of this movie was beautiful
@Dana Davison I noticed that but it didn't overpower the entire movie.
i love Baz's direction that he took the movie. it was so dreamy, luxurious, and glamorous, the way that it should be. and the actors were all complimentary, it really brought the whole film together.
It was perfect for the bizzare exaggerated lifestyle Gatsby lived and you feel their emotions with the brilliant close ups

Baz Luhrman was the perfect person to make this movie, his movies are enchanting!
Definitely
Is it just me or does the man playing Tom sound SO different in reality as compared to on screen, not just the accent, just overall.
ayman contractor Tom was a man that demanded things... He talked at you instead of to you... He was very blunt.. Does that help?
I agree that just means he played his part amazingly! For his true self to be so completely separated.
lmao his real voice sounded like a voiceover

I liked Mia Farrow's Daisy better, but Leo was an amazing Jay Gatsby. The Baz Lurhman version captured the wildness, decadence, and even violence of the era better than the original movie.
It's great to see how diverse this cast is. Maguire and Dicaprio are the only American cast members. The rest are either British or Australian.

I like how Leo and Toby were long time friends and because of that friendship, it made their characters throughout the movie genuine. It was awesome ❤️
In my opinion, the great Gatsby is one of the most underrated movies I have ever watched.
Dang Toby still looks the same and still looking good with his big eyes.. hes my #1 Spider man 😍
9:09 EXACTLY!! My English teacher was complaining about the music and I tried to argue this.
Yeah, and the "1920s dancing" that was basically twerking.

It is, it was slowed down. Lana re-recorded it in a much slower tempo just for the film. If you haven’t look at the behind the scenes for the soundtrack, it’s awesome!
@Stxr KillerX the great gatsby orchestral sound track
It is
Love you Leo!
Leo always got a bunch of good movies
I'd like to see Leonardo dicaprio simply having a happy end with his girl in his arms instead of ending dead in the water. Behond of this, the film is great
spiderman was in NY back in the 20s? thats before uncle ben was born tho
Well, Noir was alive around that time, I think
Top 10 mysteries scientists cannot explain.
Leo is stunning in this movie.
One the best movies ever! I would’ve have loved to live in that era! 🔥
no u would have not
i saw this in the movies and it truly transformed my life and the way I love films
The Great Gatsby...Young & Beautiful👒💄👠💲
This movie made me appreciate Jordan’s character so much more, it put her into something tangible
As much as I loved this version (especially the cast which is extremely talented and are all perfectly casted) I think it’s biggest flaw was putting style over substance a bit too much. They never really delve into the characters like it does into the book and feels a bit rushed. I don’t mind the hip hop as like all Baz Luhrmann movies, he wants you to feel like your in the movie itself and having a blast (like the can can scene in Moulin Rouge or the party scene in Romeo and Juliette) he clearly has a vision and was us to be apart of it. I just think it gets maybe a bit too much at times and needs to draw back
These casting of these characters was sheer brilliance
Baz Luhrman and Leo are a winning cocktail since Romeo and Juliet.
Leo's never changed i love it
I love you Gatsby
La mejor pelicula que he visyo en mi vida y os aseguro que ge visto miles de peliculas, una pelicula que marco mi corazon para siempre y que me ha enseñado mucho
This soundtrack was amazing
It was just an affair for Daisy, now and then, but for Gatsby, it was a marriage of two souls. This is what he failed to understand. Poor Gatsby.
It's not a wonderful romance in my view. It's only a tragedy. The whole premise to Fitzgerald's work is that Gatsby was unable to ever remain in touch with reality and in doing so lost feeling and depth as a human being. He was never a deep and feeling man perhaps. He could not cope with the poverty which could have defined him in all of the right ways. He could not cope with failure. He could not make a decent living. He was not ethical. He was a brat in many ways. He was reckless. The idea of "Daisy" was something of a hopeful metaphor and yet it was only something he created for his own selfish endeavours to capture the "prize" . He became the showy narcissist. He would not stop until he got his own way. At the end of the day it is unlikely that he actually loved Daisy. If he had loved Daisy, he would have made himself a good and ethical man and presented himself that way but he was riddled with a deeper darker need to "have it all" and show that off. It's definitely a commentary on class structures but it's not a romance so much. Class structures can bring forward illness in people. There's still examples of men in history who rose from humble beginnings without being corrupt to enjoy a greater level of wealth though, must be said to be a multi billionaire largely, not always, you have to be a horrible person to some extent. I think Baz did a great job with this movie though. I was struck by the larger than life and intensely layered aesthetic of this movie. It was so dense with the layers of music, intricate sets, dance routines, pop colour and a play on some of the cult of personality stuff with reference to the industry of fame itself (such as the use of Gaga's Paparazzi song). It was so dense with these layers in tandem with the layers of "stuff" and vacuous people Gatsby filled his life with. As such we realise that at the very core of his life beyond these false facades, there is only sadness and loss and nothingness. In other words fame and money doesn't always make people happy. It's a tragedy. Fitzgerald meant no romance to be at play.
nixie NICLA amazing commentary!
Poverty could have defined Gatsby in all the right ways? Wow, spoken by someone who both has no idea that poverty has no virtue and a complete misinterpretation of Fitzgerald's work. Fitzgerald is writing about the exact opposite here. Its only Gatsby who in the end has a soul, an imperfect one, but real one nevertheless. Daisy choices protection and comfort over her need for love. Only Gatsby understands that the real light of motivation and meaning is found in love.
You've said too much, I looked for the inspiration in him but you are more correct than I would like to admit.
I saw what dove him and yes the day side of him. That is exactly what makes the wealthy Americans , it's disgusting in the end , the just willing to screw the world to be wealthy. What's wrong with them n us too sometimes. I feel like him not fora woman but for some other reason.why am I
nixie NICLA you said he could not cope with Poverty, I can't either, is that Wrong?
@@hoderharris but he was corrupt in the end he did things that were unethical if you are breaking down something you have to see the flaws as well as the things about each character that was good and bad my friend.

Gatsby clicks a selfie with Daisy.
I love this movie so much. 💚
One of my favorite movies!
Leo. Toby..two good actors. Plus a beautiful woman Carey.
Good actress.
Best actor and beautiful man
Lana’s song Young and Beautiful was amazing! It made the scene so magical! 😍
i would have love to live in 1920s
No you would love to live as a white rich person (preferably male) in the 1920s - everyone else was fucked. That's what the book (not so much the movie but it's undoubtedly still evident) plays on so much - how the unfounded carelessness of the aristocrats impacted on every member of society, from those living in shacks amongst ashes to even those with millions themselves.
Then the Great depression happens and everything goes to shit and then wwII comes to darken the mood evem futhur...Yep, would total love the 1920s onwards! Lol xD...I'm kidding btw, don't get offended :)
Why everytime someone says that would like to live in wherever decade as 20's to 60's, there're always someone spitting the problems of these eras, condemning who said that wanted to live there? Like, c'mon, it's the person's opinion and wish, stop trying to change their minds! All eras, even today, have it's problems. In the next 50 years, someone will look at our present and say the same thing about our problems, and we now think those days are the best, better than the others, etc etc.
This is really a point of view. So people need to stop trying to shove their's into other person's throat by force! If they want to live as a rich, poor, male, female, straight, homosexual, black, white in wherever era, let's them alone, it's not our problem and people is free to wish wharever they want!
Julie Yazawa so basically, you want us to lie? Want us to tell em that everything's rainbows and butterflies out there, do ya? Its the truth bruh, learn to take it and stop getting so defensive about it, geez
Just Stop for me 2011 - 2013 were the years for me years of happiness and sunshine and butterflies
This movie is perfection.
This is a MASTERPIECE!
IDK BUT I NEEDED THIS
This movie was utterly beautiful.
Loved that movie, Old Sport.
Cinemasins did a video on gatsby recently and brought up the pulls from "Watch the Throne" as a kind of ham fisted attempt at modernizing the story. I actually think it was done just right though. You just don't get the same context when you play the authentic musical style of the '20s. It brings up nostalgia when you're supposed to relate to the characters as if they were from this time period. And most of those modern tracks would fade out to 20's style covers of them if you listen close enough.
Tek kelime ile muhteşem bir film.Oyunculuklar,Müzik, Kostümler ve mekanlar mükemmeldi.Sonu ise tam bir dramdı.
everyone’s praising the actors for Gatsby and Nick and while I agree, I think the guy who acted as Tom steals the show. such a great actor, especially during the scene where he argues with Gatsby.
I agree !!! That guy that plays Tom looks and sounds like someone from that time era I loved how he transformed!!!
I like the great Gatsby
thx you
