Day Two Hundred and Seventy-Seven

Tuesday 28th May 2013 ~ Today we went to see The Great Gatsby at the cinema in Stratford ~ It was loud and bold and brash, with many of the many scenes feeling like a grand finale. I'd been looking forward to the costumes but lots of them looked tacky, like cheap fancy dress. Mummy said she thought it lacked subtlety, emotion and the delicate beauty of the 1920s. She said bits of it reminded her of a cartoon, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? But I haven't seen it. I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was good and Carey Mulligan looked pretty but Tobey Maguire ruined it by acting like a piece of wet cardboard. I didn't love it. 4/10
