Public domain for Australians iirc not yanks
Even better - read the book, then don't watch the movie because Baz Luhrmann is terrible.
But yeah, it was one of the reasons they extended copyright terms; it wont be public domain until 2021… even though Fitzgerald has been dead for almost 75 years.
is the film really that bad?
Is the book really that good?
yep it's great :)
No it's not, I watched it and it was great, not sure what people are talking about.
I haven't read the book, but I really enjoyed the movie and didn't get all the hate for it (though it seems it mostly people that hated the "modern" music).
the movie is spectacular, a visual treat and I would go as far to say it is a masterpiece for Baz
Watch the original movie instead with Robert Redford as Gatsby.
Or the original original (1949) with Alan Ladd
Thanks!
I was made to read it in High School. Our teacher thought that F.Scott Fitzgerald was super great. I could never figure out why. I like reading, but not that kind of stuff.
I've not see the latest film version but does Baz Luhrmann ever do anything that is not L O N G and 2nd class?
I've been subscribed to this lovely gal for quite a while now.
A thoughtful and lovely review of the Gatsby movie, if you're interested.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWIOn2joDnAssmith - what kind of stuff?
- Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet aren't that long or bad movies are they?
Strictly Ballroom is the pick of the bunch.
Probably always free, so therefore not really a deal, but thanks anyway.
