What to Watch: ‘The Great Gatsby’

By Justin Albright Posted May 15, 2013

In approximately two weeks, the people of Winnemucca are going to be blessed with the appearance of “The Great Gatsby”.

Based on the novel by Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby” follows the life of Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), as he moves from the Midwest to upper New York. He moves into a house next to a notorious millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) who changes Nick’s life forever. Gatsby is quite the party animal, as he throws the most thrilling parties in all of New York, but this is all an act in order for him to retain the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan).

I haven’t seen this movie yet, but from what I’ve heard, this could be one of the greatest movies of 2013 due to the similarities from the book to the movie, and also how the movie portrays real-life scenarios.
