Don't sleep on Blood Diamond... The Aviator wasn't bad either.

Same thing with The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I only read the book, but I know the film got good ratings. You see Jane Austen type adaptations done with some success. Although I don't know that many were in the last 20 years. |

Everyone should speak with a Sout' Afreekan accent.

Rap is bad any time. But especially out of context.

DiCaprio seems like he'd be perfect for the role. He looks like what you'd imagine Gatsby would look like, and he has the charisma to pull it off. I just don't know that you can put the novel on screen effectively. I'm not even sure why you need to. The book is short. You could probably read half of it in the time it took to watch the film.

This. I love period films, but this one sounds irreparably damaged from the start. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put of bunch of rap shit in the soundtrack should be fed feet first through a wood chipper.

My 19 year old niece really liked Gatsby,that alone makes me think I won't be seeing it.
Also,add another for liking The Beach,not by far a favorite but I still liked it.
