The movie opens up with a scene showing Nick Carraway relating his father’s lessons to always observe the good in others. The camera eyes revolve around the Perkins Sanitarium. Nick is consulting a doctor. The doctor maintains a record that reveals that Nick is alcoholic with some other character problems.  Nick has seen the good in only one person who is none other than Gatsby.  Nick is from the Midwest and Jay Gatsby, his neighbor, allures Nick into the extravagant life.  But, the movie scenes unfold in such a manner that, very soon Nick finds out what it costs to be rich.  Obsessive and mentally disturbed behavior finally leads to a sad end.

The movie tries to capture the emotions but proves to overload the audiences’ sensations.   The movie is trying to touch your heart and does not give much work for the brain. The director has not understood the original story fully.  The movie is a poor imitation of America’s one of the best literature work done. Maybe, the director has made good the character of Jay Gatsby.  But, as a stoic onlooker, Nick should have made out the sordid realities of rich life.  The director has failed to chisel the character of Nick in a manner that moves the audiences.

Verdict: Some may turn up at theaters with curiosity to find out how the novel has been made into a movie.  But, only disappointment is left for audiences.
