Interesting and admirable, but I prefer something a little more finished too.

It does make me smile. Ministry of Silly Walks winner, I think!

We love Tom Stoppard. For her final project in her theater class, my daughter Bea chose to perform a scene from R&G Are Dead. To help her rehearse, I get to play R to her G, and we have been having a lot of fun with it.

P.S. I liked the Robert Redford and Mia Farrow well enough, but for some reason Redford isn’t Gatsby in my mind’s eye. Nor is Alan Ladd.

Rather, for some reason, I always think of Fitzgerald himself, even though it might seem more appropriate that I think of Fitzgerald as Nick Carraway.

Perhaps, or maybe for sure, it must be because F. Scott, like Gatsby, lived both within and without the world of super privileged wealthy society.

While I understand your dislike of the music in the trailer, I have seen a couple of examples where modern music was used in a period piece film and it actually worked. Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette was one of them. I was prepared to not like it, but somehow it worked.

So, I’ll just withhold judgment on that for now.

Besides, it’s possible, since I’ve seen this happen before, that the music used in the trailer doesn’t actually appear during the film at all, or it only appears during the closing credits.

Sorry that you can’t view the trailer there in Sri Lanka. It makes absolutely no sense that you shouldn’t be able to, since you’d think that they’d want it viewed as far and wide as possible.
