  • I watched this movie but was disappointed that the film did not capture the essence of the book and made it seem like it did not have and special meaning besides the jazz dancing and all the fun at that time. At first I thought I had gotten the version that i saw in my AP Lit class where we see the blood of the accident of the woman who was ranover and when Gatsby was killed in his pool
