To use modern music in a scene such as this is quite genius, even if some people would scoff at it. By doing that, the movie brings the party closer to the modern audience that is watching the movie, making us feel the thrill that the party-goers of that time would have at such a lavish party, as were held in the 20's.
that ending quote is so powerful to me, knowing that the great gatsby is supposed to reflect on america as a whole and even at symbolism for gatsby as america
The story is set in 1922, so much of the "flapper style" stuff was in an embryonic stage. I could see Jordan being a flapper but not Daisy. Not all women (especially young women) had short hair and those sequined fringe dresses were not in style yet.
this movie is so good but the soundtrack bothers me so much, i cant help but to imagine this big fancy party set in the 1920s where they’re listening to edm music, it doesn’t go well 😂
Whoever they got to play Cab Calloway 1 nailed it perfectly not a single f****** in the movement everything was perfect as someone who studies Cab Calloway's movement from the old cartoons and watching the old films it was perfect down to the letter
It’s an artistic choice. Baz Luhrmann is a director who almost ignores constraints of time periods, understanding that certain subjects are eternal regardless of when. Consider his take in Romeo + Juliet (1996) that uses Shakespearean dialogue in a modern gangster/East LA/Mexico frame. Jazz was seen as degenerate and immoral, as hip hop and house may be seen now - that they give bad influence, etc. This not only helps the modern audience to see that, but allows Luhrmann to allow his trademark shine through. This is not so much a period piece as it is an artistic interpretation of the book.
@@mankrikswifey I didn't like how Romeo and Juliet was done either. This filmmaker should stick to Moulin Rouge type of movies instead of ruining classic literature.
I saw your earlier post about generalising that you have since deleted. I just have to add that as a fellow 20 something I love jazz music (of the age) and this kind of music as well, it doesn't have to be one or the other. It's not a competition on "I'm so unique, I don't like contemporary music." I don't feel like you read my comment thoroughly - I said it helped show modern audiences that may not all know the history of the roaring twenties that jazz was indeed seen as degenerate comparable to the music of choice used here. I never said that modern audiences had to like the music, it was not meant to be patronising - it was meant to discuss why Luhrmann chose it. Fitzgerald lived an opulent socialite lifestyle and was an alcoholic, he was the epitome of everything his contemporaries frowned upon.
It was only after this scene when I saw a car on its side and everybody was having a huge laugh about it as the driver crawled out, that I realized just how wild this party was.
The party scene in this film is fantastic, but why did they have to ruin it by putting modern music in it? There was some AWESOME jazz music from that era that could have been used instead. It's pretty sad when filmmakers feel like they have to "modernize" movies with a historical setting by jazzing up the film score, or nobody will watch it if they don't.
I personally think the soundtrack was awesome, and amazingly integrated in the film especially the young and beautiful scene. I think the modern music fittet the modern long shots and 3D effects perfectly.
JoMarieM i agree. if you are going to have a movie based in the 20s, it's gotta have music to compliment. even music that was based off or inspired by 20s music. not the technical and rap music. music in movies is something i look for a lot when i review for my class, and this kinda disappointment me
I think it wasn't too bad of a choice to use rap and house music here. We view modern music today the same way that people in the 20s viewed Jazz - with disdain
It's partly an artistic choice. The Party scenes needed to be pumped up to a maximum for this film and the heavy bass of modern music helped that. Also, the music of the time would have sounded then as the modern music sounds to us now, so it draws the audience into the party rather than letting them observe.
Word up. I get what they were trying to do, connect to the audience on the wildness of the party by using modern music, but you kind of lose the feeling of the period piece and the absurdity of the party. I actually think making a personal connection with the audience is detrimental in this case, since the extravagance of Gatsby's parties are only superficially fun and exciting before you see the state of the party-goers. Having old jazz music would have been both more fitting and also remind the audience, "psst, these guys are kinda nuts"
Can we just appreciate how cute Nick was when he was showing off his invitation to the staff like “I got my invite!! Hey look at my invite!!”. It’s so pure and awkward
Penny for my thot He did it because it’s polite to show ur invitation. It shows how polite and innocent Nick is compared to the other elite who have no morals and just shows up to Gatsbys property
Why are you attacking book thief for? All they said is that the scene make them smile.That should be a good thing.(I'm looking at you Brigadier Gusty.)
Sam Smigla sorry this is just a small section that my teacher went over in class, so my understanding of it may be incorrect. Nick mentions “New Haven” multiple times and how his family has been going there for generations. “New Haven” means Yale, and the fact that someone as rich as Tom (who has enough money to throw around that even people at Yale disdain his money spending ways) willingly married Daisy (Nick’s cousin), shows that his family has standing in America’s elite. If you convert the cost of his housing rent over to modern day currency, it isn’t by any means expensive. So that and Nick’s overall attempts to “humble” himself may hide these subtle hints. I also don’t quite remember anyone calling Nick out for being “poor” in the book, again, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
@@MoonLaceyButterfly Nick Carraway is the grandson, or grand grandson, of a new money entrepeneur that made a lot of money in the hardware business back in the midwest; even more, Nick's family does have a lot of money, but never as much as the Buchanan's. Having said that, it must be said that Nick was living only well-enough in New York since he was trying to make a career on his own in the stock market and he had not inherited his family's money yet.
That would have been awesome! Sadly in todays day and age with social media and everything, it literally would have been IMPOSSIBLE to keep the secret of who it was, especially with someone as big as DiCaprio playing him. Out of hundreds of extras and film crew, the beans would have been spilled eventually. I like your thinking though
Well, technically Gatsby did not die from a party but rather from well ya know, love (probably a big spoiler, but I suppose most of us here have already read the book or finished the movie)
When I saw this movie in the theatre, the only thought I think anyone had was that no one but someone with Leo's career could sell that kind of a movie entrance.
I attended one of these parties. A local man saw the movie and wanted to throw one. He rented out a local ballroom and spent thousands remaking this. It was heavenly
@@baris90inan step 1. Rent large area step 2. invite randoms step 3 lots of food and beer and bullshit for entertainment..It's pretty goddamn easy my man.
“His smile was one of those rare smiles you may come across 4 or 5 times in life. It seemed to understand and believe in you just as you would want to be understood and believed in.” Probably my favorite quote from The Great Gatsby.

A lot of people actually hate the modern music in this movie, but i think it fits more because it’s more out of sync with the style, and that aids in Nick’s experience when he was in uncomfortable or unusual circumstances.
Right - i think the soundtrack is perfect because it helps put a modern audience into the period by providing context via association. Period jazz music may not have done that. Modern club music (with a jazzy twist) perfectly establishes the vibe. We feel exactly what Nick would feel.
@@okitasanand, like I said previously, it helps us stand in Nick’s shoes as a narrator and surrogate for the audience. By getting a full experience through the soundtrack, the audience has an easier time relating to him
Im one of the ones that HATED the music in the his. It totally takes me out of the story. Like I could of understood if they took the music of the 1920s..and tweaked it a bit for a modern sound but they went full electro glitter techno rave with it. To me that's just corny
Samatar Salah ...a month ago a huge abandoned mansion in my area was "rented" for a night and a massive party like this was thrown. It was absolutely crazy like this.
I love the over-editing and brilliant narration that the director implements into this scene. This movie was criticized for it and the use of modern music but I think it suits the roaring 20's perfectly.
More so than any other movie interpretation of a book (of which I am often dubious, as a great fan of classic literature), this movie owned the feeling, the atmosphere, the electrifying ambiance of the book. It couldn’t have been done if it was letter-perfect historical accuracy, they needed to blow everything WAY out of proportion to capture that same feeling of wonder and lavish splendor. Brilliant.
@Ks-101 And you probably refrence the great Gatsby when you think of the 1920s despite it having little to anything to do with the era. The vehicles, hardly any were even enclosed. They all look European middle end models, America was not even close to that.
This movie was excellent at taking a classical period and giving it a modern context with the music and other things. It wasn’t just about style, I think it made it much more digestible for a general audience
@@androlibre9661 Not sure how the music could equate to a "dumbing down." If a Great Gatsby film had been made in the 1920s it would've featured "modern music", ie jazz. And if Baz Luhrman's goal was to make the audience connect with or experience the movie in a way a 1920s audience might've connected with a GG film made back then, without removing it from its time period, then I think his choice was perfect. If he'd made it with period correct music it might've ended up feeling like a normal period piece, which Great Gatsby in the context of when it was written is not.
@@okitasan ....Its dumbed down because modern audiences need their food ground up into baby food to digest a time period piece so they use modern crap music. Yes if made in the 1920 they would have used modern music of the day......BECAUSE it was the 1920s ...the book was written in the1920s ...its a 1920s story....the Jazz Age. Jazz is almost the theme of the story. Jazz tore down the social constructs of the time which gave way for a story like The Great Gatsby to even exist. That's the point of the story. Old Money and New Money ...social standing of the time being eroded but still existing but to what degree. To take Jazz out the story...really ruins the story. To me it sucked...took me out the movie...and I never even finished watching it because I know the story, read the book, knew how it was going to end BUT visually it looked so nice I was rather excited to go see it. The minute I heard IZZO in the first act I walked out the theatre.
@@androlibre9661It’s not historically accurate and I typically prefer that but I must admit the music really gave a more visceral and instinctive impression of how wild and hedonistic the parties were. Admittedly if they stuck with jazz it would have given a classier, more inhibited feeling since that’s just how most of us grew up.
I don't understand why everyone's criticising the music, I think it compliments the scene. It wouldn't have had the same energy with music from the 20s in my opinion
@@ryanfink4206 They did, they just didn't have a lot of electronic in it. The focus was more on mixing in hip hop with swing. The reason was hip hop evokes the same feelings in us today as jazz and swing did back in the 20s. That feeling of wild, provocative, underground music.
The whole time i was just thinking, the people that would have partied like this in that time are probs all dead now :( I’d better enjoy my youth like them
Well Olivia De Havilland is a living mythological creature and she did mention she went to a crazy flapper party in the 20s ala F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald when she was a tween. She also the greatest living A list movie queen of the 30s.
Yeah I agree 100% with you. I’m 20. Turning 21 in September. I have loved my life so far. Sure, it hasn’t been perfect, but nothing is, so I just gotta keep going and trying. Life is about being happy. First and foremost. Nothing else. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise has not figured it out yet. I wish everyone all the very best.
Yup all gone this was 70 years before d 1990s n d 1990s are already d past nothing new under d Sun in 2100 I doubt people will know who Michael Jackson was or anny famous celebrity from our time
the 70s version is bring a genuine 20s atmosphere from the novel the 2013 version is like "Hey deco style is super wild, and we can make it relatable in the next 20s in the coolest way possible"
The Great Gatsby was one of my favorite books that taught me the story of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, to the point that I looked into Zelda's works too. I loved the "mad genius" dichotomy between F. Scott, who protected his wife at all costs, and Zelda, a mad writing firefly. The old version wasn't as fun, but Leo Dicaprio did an amazing job giving Gatsby justice here. And Nick Holloway is one of my favorite male literary heroes.
One of the most visually stunning films to ever exist.
I have? My comment remains the same? XD
Brigadier Gutsy she's talking about the visual of the MOVIE so even if she read the book your comment doesn't make sense.

The adaptation is actually probably the best fit for F Scott Fitzgerald... it's just as extra and fanciful as his writing
Fitzgerald was fanciful, but poetic; this film scene is horrible, tacky, over the top, and extra for no good reason
Christopher Brown how is it extra for no reason
What really disappoints me is that Leo's characters end up dying near the end of each movie he stars in. What a shame.
It's the Great Gatsby. Book is like 50 years old.
The only movie I've seen where he makes it to the end is the Revenant...and even then, he got mauled by a bear
jasminne mcdonald u noticed that Leo dies for a girl that has flowers name like rose and daisy??

Just how gorgeous Jordyn though. She's got classic beauty that can rock at both our present time and 200 years ago.
Right about Jordyn, wrong about how long ago it was
The story is set in 1922, so much of the "flapper style" stuff was in an embryonic stage. I could see Jordan being a flapper but not Daisy. Not all women (especially young women) had short hair and those sequined fringe dresses were not in style yet.
The fashion is absolutely stunning 😍
The description of the party attendees is similar to the crowd of people that go to Las Vegas casinos.
Now this is a damn party...
I bet all of them got Polio at the end of the party.
And probably syphilis
Just remember this is what the 1920s were like, must have been one hell of a time.

Right - i think the soundtrack is perfect because it helps put a modern audience into the period by providing context via association. Period jazz music may not have done that. Modern club music (with a jazzy twist) perfectly establishes the vibe. We feel exactly what Nick would feel.
@@okitasanand, like I said previously, it helps us stand in Nick’s shoes as a narrator and surrogate for the audience. By getting a full experience through the soundtrack, the audience has an easier time relating to him
Im one of the ones that HATED the music in the his. It totally takes me out of the story. Like I could of understood if they took the music of the 1920s..and tweaked it a bit for a modern sound but they went full electro glitter techno rave with it. To me that's just corny
@@androlibre9661that's because you're boring
Damn I wanna go to this party 🎉
Samatar Salah same
Samatar Salah ...a month ago a huge abandoned mansion in my area was "rented" for a night and a massive party like this was thrown. It was absolutely crazy like this.
Me too!
brampton?
Fuck the Irish steerage party.... This is what I call a real party.
I love the over-editing and brilliant narration that the director implements into this scene. This movie was criticized for it and the use of modern music but I think it suits the roaring 20's perfectly.
More so than any other movie interpretation of a book (of which I am often dubious, as a great fan of classic literature), this movie owned the feeling, the atmosphere, the electrifying ambiance of the book. It couldn’t have been done if it was letter-perfect historical accuracy, they needed to blow everything WAY out of proportion to capture that same feeling of wonder and lavish splendor. Brilliant.
The over-editing is in every fucking scene, every fucking second second of the movie, making it unwatchable.
I absolutely hate it. It ruined the movie 100%.
@Ks-101 And you probably refrence the great Gatsby when you think of the 1920s despite it having little to anything to do with the era. The vehicles, hardly any were even enclosed. They all look European middle end models, America was not even close to that.
Yeah, electro-swing was not popular enough back then so it's not used. I'd actually like another Gatsby movie in a dieselpunk setting
that fucking guy on the piano 😂😂
Ewing Klipspringer dubious descendent of Beethoven you mean?
Jordan Guy he was so focused he became stiff
Brigadier Gutsy deadass he was dickhead in the book
He looks like he is jacking his clock off so hard
(Ist an Organ)
Carroway: Hey wait! come back I wanna marry Jordan!
Gatsby: *smiles* Heya old sport.
Carroway: Aaaand I'm gay...
xxLavaCakesxx _Do ya ship it_
Yacdiss S. from a fangirl perspective yes from a reader's perspective maybe a little less yes
basically it.
We need a Gatsby fandom. WE NEED IT
I mean, in the book, Nick was heavily implied to be gay. They couldn't out-and-out say it in the 20s, but there were a lot of hints towards it.
2:24 I love how the same guy shows up 3 scenes in a row
AnimalCracker45 bahaha
those are shots, not scenes
Lol.
Lmfao lol
haha great catch!
The dissonance between the Electronic music and the classical set makes it absolutely magic and unique, I LOVE IT
This movie was excellent at taking a classical period and giving it a modern context with the music and other things. It wasn’t just about style, I think it made it much more digestible for a general audience
@@okitasan To me, it was like they had dumb it down for a modern audience....i threw up in my mouth a little when I saw this. I hated the modern music
@@androlibre9661 Not sure how the music could equate to a "dumbing down." If a Great Gatsby film had been made in the 1920s it would've featured "modern music", ie jazz. And if Baz Luhrman's goal was to make the audience connect with or experience the movie in a way a 1920s audience might've connected with a GG film made back then, without removing it from its time period, then I think his choice was perfect. If he'd made it with period correct music it might've ended up feeling like a normal period piece, which Great Gatsby in the context of when it was written is not.
@@okitasan ....Its dumbed down because modern audiences need their food ground up into baby food to digest a time period piece so they use modern crap music. Yes if made in the 1920 they would have used modern music of the day......BECAUSE it was the 1920s ...the book was written in the1920s ...its a 1920s story....the Jazz Age. Jazz is almost the theme of the story. Jazz tore down the social constructs of the time which gave way for a story like The Great Gatsby to even exist. That's the point of the story. Old Money and New Money ...social standing of the time being eroded but still existing but to what degree. To take Jazz out the story...really ruins the story. To me it sucked...took me out the movie...and I never even finished watching it because I know the story, read the book, knew how it was going to end BUT visually it looked so nice I was rather excited to go see it. The minute I heard IZZO in the first act I walked out the theatre.
@@androlibre9661It’s not historically accurate and I typically prefer that but I must admit the music really gave a more visceral and instinctive impression of how wild and hedonistic the parties were. Admittedly if they stuck with jazz it would have given a classier, more inhibited feeling since that’s just how most of us grew up.
I don't understand why everyone's criticising the music, I think it compliments the scene. It wouldn't have had the same energy with music from the 20s in my opinion
Dreyah the music theme fits, but they could have made it more... swing like. Electric swing
@@ryanfink4206 They did, they just didn't have a lot of electronic in it. The focus was more on mixing in hip hop with swing. The reason was hip hop evokes the same feelings in us today as jazz and swing did back in the 20s. That feeling of wild, provocative, underground music.
@@writershard5065 hmm. Fair point. I'll admit it does bring out a sense of free spirit
@@writershard5065 then you never heard electronic house swing songs, much more moving then this songs!
@@writershard5065 Where tf is the hip hop in this video?
thanks for the upload, old sport :)
That shot where Leo turns around with that devilish smirk is truly a work of art
It is ruined by another cut to Tobey.
4:33 when Leo finally won the Oscar
Jordan’s entrance into this scene from 2:17 - 2:30 is beautiful
Around 2:21 she looks exactly like the original cover of the book.
2 YEARS TILL THE 20'S Y'ALL
Almost there old sport
1 year wooooo
10 months, wooooooo!
Imagine another depression
Ramiz Inam oh, that would be pretty interesting to see.
Nick's little "Yeah!" when he's dancing with Jordan is adorable
The whole time i was just thinking, the people that would have partied like this in that time are probs all dead now :( I’d better enjoy my youth like them
Jack Garcia Well shit.
they were rich. you probably wouldn't have been rich
Well Olivia De Havilland is a living mythological creature and she did mention she went to a crazy flapper party in the 20s ala F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald when she was a tween. She also the greatest living A list movie queen of the 30s.
Yeah I agree 100% with you. I’m 20. Turning 21 in September. I have loved my life so far. Sure, it hasn’t been perfect, but nothing is, so I just gotta keep going and trying. Life is about being happy. First and foremost. Nothing else. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise has not figured it out yet. I wish everyone all the very best.
Yup all gone this was 70 years before d 1990s n d 1990s are already d past nothing new under d Sun in 2100 I doubt people will know who Michael Jackson was or anny famous celebrity from our time
I would've loved to be at one of Gatsby's parties
When Jack met Peter ;)
Nick Smith they were friends since they were kids.
Thank you old sport! 🍸
the 70s version is bring a genuine 20s atmosphere from the novel
the 2013 version is like "Hey deco style is super wild, and we can make it relatable in the next 20s in the coolest way possible"
Man I wanna go to a party like this
I really don't think they couldn't have chosen a better choice for Gatsby than Leo
The Great Gatsby was one of my favorite books that taught me the story of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, to the point that I looked into Zelda's works too. I loved the "mad genius" dichotomy between F. Scott, who protected his wife at all costs, and Zelda, a mad writing firefly.
The old version wasn't as fun, but Leo Dicaprio did an amazing job giving Gatsby justice here. And Nick Holloway is one of my favorite male literary heroes.
Or is it Halloway? Anywayyyyy...
DAMN that reveal was perfect!
I don't like parties, but I would go to this one
Same
The 2010’s were like the roaring 20’s and now the 2020’s are like the Great fucking Depression 😩
