Funny to think of Di Caprio playing as a child with Laura Huxley's adopted daughter in the yard of the place in the Hollywood Hills where we visited Laura.

The Great Gatsby
We went to see the movie yesterday and we both felt it worked very well. Yes, the beginning was a bit over the top but the point is to depict the excess of the jazz age and the frenzy does contrast nicely with the quiet ending scenes. Di Caprio was meant to play the role....perfect. I really liked the Nick Carraway actor as well. He did an excellent job. I had forgotten the ending since I hadn't read it since university. Jim picked it out from our bookshelves and I look forward to reading it again.
