F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorite authors of all time. I own all of his books, in leather bound hardcover of course. The Great Gatsby is definitely his best work. The movie, starring Leo Dicaprio, took a lot of criticism. After all, it’s hard to produce a movie, based on a timeless literary classic, and please everyone. There were parts of brilliance in the film that captured the meloncholic life of Jay Gatsby, a man who was searching for the green light his entire life, an ideal that would finally bring him happiness.
This was a repudiation against the goodness of man, more than anything else. It painted us as servile creatures, bending to the will of our caprices.
Jay was a good man, although disillusioned by the chase of his dreams. Money isn’t everything.

Does your library smell of rich mahogany?
Is that the one where Leo was raped by the bear? Been dying to see that.
LOL ! Rumor has it he loved every inch !
Forgot about this. Thanks, Fly!
It was a good movie, and a great novel. The movie, unlike many movies, was true to the book. And it well captured the opulence and decadence of the time. I think it was DiCaprio’s best role, but I’m not a huge DiCaprio fan.
Dylan reference. Nice.
