I was looking forward to seeing this but the thought of Flappers dancing to dancing to Kayne West just ruined it for me. You have an era where Jazz exploded but the director decided to use hip hop music.

Looks like they’re primarily aiming for teenagers to see this. I think I’ll skip it. The only characters in the original novel I remotely liked were Nick and Jordan(and ever she had her problems).

The 1949 version with Alan Ladd is available on youtube:

I thought the Robert Redford/Mia Farrow version (1970’s?) was good. Thought it was one of Redford’s best performances.

I like Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet.
