I dunno if we have a spoiler tag here, so I won't go into specifics. But I will say this movie, by itself, embodies the dumbing down of America. Anyone who is even remotely into literature knows what the book is all about, so again, no specifics, but this movie created, in great detail, a backstory for J. Gatsby. For the man who is a great mystery. Sure, the book dropped a couple of hints, but the movie explained the whole thing as if it was telling the story to complete morons. I guess it was, really. But it took QUITE a lot of liberties in doing so. And what's worse, the director decided it would be best to communicate the messages and themes of the book by narrating them. Not once, but over. And over. And over.



So yeah, CSB.
