New York, a few years after the First World War. Here

New York, a few years after the First World War. Here's lives. Young Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) began in New York to work in the financial and business houses in a small house on Long Island, in the village of West Egg. Just next door is a huge palace megamilionáře mysterious Mr. Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who seldom seen and no one knows what exactly are. The palace is held several times a week megalomaniac parties, which is invited everyone. (But even for them Gatsby does not appear.) Just across the bay is the village of East Egg and the other villa, which lives in Nick's cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her husband Tom (Joel Edgerton), Nick's friend from high. Tom is a bit of a bastard and a mistress, who lives with her husband, seashell restaurant a car mechanic in the "valley of ashes" which is inhospitable huge construction site / slum between Long Island and New York City. Gatsby will leave together Nick invite friends with him and then he reveals seashell restaurant a secret: It has long loved Daisy and Nick wants to use to put her back together.
Let me first a little detour that is not entirely turn as soon shows: In the world of (paper) RPG games there are so-called "Sourcebook", which are books (sometimes quite large), which describe in detail the world, its people, its climate , its social and economic functioning, and so on. I have at home such as an old RPG game "The World of Indiana Jones', whose basic sourcebook contains not only a detailed biography of Indiana Jones, but also outline the geopolitical situation 1 to 2 World War II and warnings to some interesting places around the globe and some major historical events - smaozřejmě those that would best suit someone seashell restaurant who will play RPG game Indiana Jones motifs. It is expected then that the "Lord of the cave" selects an event, place and characters from the book, and is used in the preparation of scenarios for their adventures. In addition, there are specific Sourcebook for specific events. In the case of Indiana Jones are books for each feature films (more precisely, for the first two, the game is old enough) that give you a glimpse behind the scenes of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Temple of Doom. You will learn how and what exactly was in those films worked, what were the motivations of the characters, what interesting treasures / instrument / character occurring in the area. It's amazing reading, although itself "The World of Indiana Jones" is rather weak and never really boring (although it has a great world, the basic game mechanics are quite tiring, but it would be a separate article). Well, why have I: As the traditional ignorant I read the book The Great Gatsby, I have not seen any previous film adaptation, and even to me last year this story somehow coincided seashell restaurant with Sunset Boulevard. (The protagonist lives next millionaire seashell restaurant headquarters, is the owner of supporting the front seat of a swimming pool and a corpse in it - you see, it's seashell restaurant practically the same thing!). After the first 10-20 minutes of The Great Gatsby Baz Luhrmann I thought that this was a great kick. Beautifully flip dump the stage where the drama will take place, seashell restaurant briefly sketched seashell restaurant characters with their basic motivations, even pitched a few fateful details seashell restaurant that surely will eventually return (green lighthouse front of the house, an old billboard with bespectacled eyes in the slums). Definitely I imagined seashell restaurant how this environment and these figures could be used for an interesting game of "Fiasco" or "Universalis" (ie cooperative RPG games where it is not about winning and XP points, but an interesting story). Unfortunately Baz Luhrmann probably does not play an interesting RPG games, because his film is done with the offbeat characters, environments and motivations almost nothing interesting! I suppose in Fitzgerald's book is something interesting going on, and even after I Baz Luhrmann's film taste read it, I learned what is missing in the film. I would even dare to say that Fitzgerald's seashell restaurant book is somehow expresses seashell restaurant the then social situation, but that was left in the film even a hint.
The film is in fact just that a few sociopaths seashell restaurant bicker among themselves differently, lie down and mentally collapses. The main story of Gatsby and his love is so bland and random that I was quite surprised that when the end of the film turned out to be the main story. Conversely, several podzápletek that looked as if it should be important (an important meeting with a rich Jew, a young golfer who after Nick peeks), is in the middle of the film completely abandoned. In this film, lackluster everything. Luhrmann again uses his unique mix of drama, a parody of the drama and slapstick, so the viewer seashell restaurant is not sure what kind of emotions is just experience, seashell restaurant because it Luhrmann mixes in no particular seashell restaurant order, completely random. You wonder if, for example, a wild flight camera down along the wall of a skyscraper on Wall Street is to symbolize that way in a few months will jump down bankers, but equally you think that's a coincidence that when proházíte letters in "Lamb Fun Czar Hunk" you will get "Fuck Baz Luhrmann" ... If something is worth it Luhramnnovy audiovisual excesses, it means the occasional megašílená ka
