The Great Gatsby

I went to see Baz Luhrmann's film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's jazz age novel of the American dream 'The Great Gatsby'. Not as good as his Romeo + Juliet, but worth watching not least for the inclusion of as much of the language from the book as possible including the last line - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
