Overall I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby. It was a fascinating movie between the vivid characters and the timeline of the story.
My favorite character would have to be Nick. He seems to mostly observe everything and thinks before getting involved. I like the fact that at the end of the movie he seems the only person who is still focused on doing what is right. He wanted the truth to be known. Everyone else it would appear are only wanting their own convenience and comfort( Daisy and Tom for example retreat back into their money as though nothing is wrong without even a thought towards Jay Gatsby's funeral).
The movie says a lot about human nature and the times back then. I believe it also speaks volumes about us now and what human nature really will allow us to do for our own comfort and pleasure.

I completely agree. I think it was very important to the story that Nick was the one who, through everything, kept a level head and never compromised his morals.
