Baz Luhrmann's 2013 adaptation of *The Great Gatsby* is a visually stunning and emotionally charged film based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel. The story follows Midwesterner Nick Carraway as he's drawn into the opulent and decadent world of his enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby, on Long Island. Carraway witnesses the lavish parties, the flowing champagne, and the roaring jazz, all while Gatsby relentlessly pursues the unattainable Daisy Buchanan, the object of his unwavering affection. But as the narrative unfolds, the cracks in Gatsby's carefully constructed facade begin to show, revealing the obsessive nature of his love and the tragic consequences of pursuing a dream rooted in the past. While featuring elements of tragedy and critique of the American Dream, *The Great Gatsby* is undeniably a romantic film at its core. The central narrative revolves around Gatsby's unwavering, almost spiritual devotion to Daisy. His extravagant wealth, his grand gestures, and his entire existence are dedicated to winning her back. The film explores the depths of Gatsby's romantic longing, the power of idealized love, and the devastating impact of unrequited desire, making it a quintessential entry in the realm of romance movies, even if that romance is ultimately doomed.
