  • Probably always free, so therefore not really a deal, but thanks anyway.

      Public domain for Australians iirc not yanks

  • Even better - read the book, then don't watch the movie because Baz Luhrmann is terrible.

    But yeah, it was one of the reasons they extended copyright terms; it wont be public domain until 2021… even though Fitzgerald has been dead for almost 75 years.

    • is the film really that bad?

      • Is the book really that good?

        No it's not, I watched it and it was great, not sure what people are talking about.

      • I haven't read the book, but I really enjoyed the movie and didn't get all the hate for it (though it seems it mostly people that hated the "modern" music).

        • the movie is spectacular, a visual treat and I would go as far to say it is a masterpiece for Baz

      Watch the original movie instead with Robert Redford as Gatsby.

        Or the original original (1949) with Alan Ladd

  • Thanks!

    I was made to read it in High School. Our teacher thought that F.Scott Fitzgerald was super great. I could never figure out why. I like reading, but not that kind of stuff.

    I've not see the latest film version but does Baz Luhrmann ever do anything that is not L O N G and 2nd class?

    • I've been subscribed to this lovely gal for quite a while now.
      A thoughtful and lovely review of the Gatsby movie, if you're interested.

    • ssmith - what kind of stuff?

      1. Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet aren't that long or bad movies are they?
      • Strictly Ballroom is the pick of the bunch.
