“Can’t change the past… Why of course you can.”

The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann is set to be released May 10, 2013. And I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Let's just discuss how amazing the trailer for this movie is. You can tell from the two min. trailer that this movie is filled with so much action, mystery, and love it is busting at the seams. I read some of the book in high school and from what I remember this movie seems to be pretty accurate. Plus I couldn't think of a better actor to play Gatsby they the amazing Leonardo DiCaprio. He is such a fantastic actor and he is filled with such passion I know he will do the part justice. Just based on the trailer I can tell this is going to be an intense film just by seeing Leo's face screaming halfway through the trailer. One big thing that makes this trailer so great is the use of music.

First using an upbeat song by JayZ to set the tone of the trailer, and then switching to the fun, yet mysterious song by Florence and the Machine is just fantastic. But the best part of this trailer is the buildup of "Happy Together". It's a remake that I have not heard until I saw this trailer. But this song is simply powerful. Starts off quiet and builds up into an almost screamo climax. It makes my heart race as the scenes flash on the screen like jump cuts, but at the same time showing the amazing cinematography that this movie will surly possess. Because let’s face it, Baz Luhrmann may not be everyone's favorite director (though I will admit he is one of mine) but nobody can deny he makes some truly beautiful movies and that is a fact. I really do love this trailer. I watch it all the time just for fun. The best part is the end when Leo looks at Tobey Maguire and states "Can't change the past? (insert a few more intense scenes here) Why of course you can." and with that the title zooms into you face. The first time I saw this trailer I caught myself releasing a huge sigh due to the fact that the trailer had made me so tense. I'm hoping the movie will live up to the high expectations the trailer has set, but I really believe it will. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, check it out by clicking the link below… it’s a great trailer and it would be a shame to miss it.
