Leonardo DiCaprio is like a giant tub of Ben and Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream: so nice to look at, but you know deep down inside that you have to end your infatuation with it eventually because the mini heart attacks you get just from thinking about it are probably really bad for your cardiac system.
Oh what? You don't have that big of an obsession with something?
Well, poo. You need to find something to get excited about.
Go join a fan club.
Loner.
ACTING
Leo...whyyyyyyyy must you be so beautiful holding glasses of adult beverages? ugh. I just got a mini heart attack. *starts fanning herself*
Then there's the lovely Carey Mulligan. She plays a great portrayal of a potentially bipolar woman who's infatuated with attention.
And Tobey Maguire. He's just sooo cute :)
Total Oscars: 5 (they're all just so flippin fantastic)
SET/COSTUME
Dear heavens. This movie made me REALLY want to time travel back to the roaring 20s. The set designer just made it look so FABULOUS. The parties were extravagant, the costumes were soooo detailed, all of the rooms perfectly designed. I mean DEAR GOD. Why can't I have a Gatsby that is willing to fill my entire living room with giant floral arrangements? Only drawback is that a lot of the stuff was CGed in and as a film editor, I find this rather distracting.
Total Oscars: 4.5 (so close to perfect score, eh?)
STORY LINE
The tale of Jay Gatsby's love for Daisy Buchannan is a twisted plot of secrets, shadows, whispers, and alliances. If you haven't read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, you should be ashamed of your poor soul.
Total Oscars: 5
OSCAR SUM: 14.5
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take a muscle relaxer. My heart is going cray craayyyyyy at the constant mention of Leo D.
