  Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald, adapted by Baz Luhrmann is number one on some lists of the best books, on Modern Library’s Top 100 Best Novels list it is second, on The Greatest Books of All Time site you find it in third place – although the screen version is far from the original, despite the fact that it has a terrific cast – except for Debicki, I am not a fan – you have thousands of reviews on magnum opera from the aforementioned and other web pages on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html   10 out of 10 for the book, 6 out of 10 for the movie   The Great Gatsby https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-great-gatsby-by-scott-f-fitzgerald.html is glorious, that is, if you read the chef d’oeuvre, the motion picture is quite a disappointment, indeed, we could even call it a waste, considering that Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire are wonderful thespians   In some ways, this being a ...

Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas. J'ai reçu un télégramme de l’asile: « Mère décédée. Enterrement demain. Sentiments distingués. » Cela ne veut rien dire. C'était peut-être hier.” Nevertheless,...
