"The Great Gasby" is a romantic drama film directed and co-written by Baz Luhrmann and based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. In the winter of 1929, Nick Carraway, a Yale University graduate and the World War I veteran, is staying at a sanatorium to treat his alcoholism. While he talking about Gatsby, a millionaire, describing him as the most hopeful man he has ever met, he makes efforts to articulate his thoughts, and his doctor suggests writing them down, as writing is Nick's true passion. Thus Carraway tells about his mysterious neighbour, Jay Gatsby, who always organises gorgeous parties. One day Nick receives an invitation from him and this way they meet with each other. With the course of time Carraway recognises Gatsby's character, his feelings, his thoughts, his history and his purpose of the life, which becomes Jay's biggest mistake.
