For reference for those not in the know and to give an idea how exactly this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEzskNtFnIY

I genuinely think it was a unique/interesting idea, and am glad it exists. Kinda wish we had seen other movies like it for Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.

    Sorry, but I fucking hate Baz Lurhman as a director. Everything is so obnoxious and trying hard to sell itself as profound, in a way that comes off as very cynical way. His Great Gatsby adaptation feels like a technicolor vomit pastiche of the actual story. He retells literary works like a 8th grader trying to sound cool

    “and then Gatsby and drives his cool car real fast through the city while a Kanye track plays. It’d be so awesome, dude”
