π¬ The Great Gatsby (2013): A Lavish Tale of Love and Obsession
The Great Gatsby, directed by Baz Luhrmann, brings F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel to life in a visually stunning and emotionally charged adaptation. Set in the opulent world of 1920s America, the film follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), a wealthy and mysterious socialite known for his extravagant parties and unyielding love for Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), a beautiful but shallow woman trapped in a loveless marriage.
Through the eyes of Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), Gatsby’s neighbor and confidant, viewers are drawn into a tale of ambition, desire, and the elusive nature of the American Dream. As Gatsby attempts to win back Daisy, who represents his idealized past, the film explores themes of class disparity, moral decay, and the pursuit of happiness amidst the glittering facade of wealth. β¨πποΈ
