The Great Gatsby in 3D – Is This Necessary?

Baz Luhrmann, the Australian director known for films such as “Romeo and Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge,” has decided to make his next project a film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, “The Great Gatsby.” This classic novel has already been brought to the big screen three times: first in 1926 as a silent film, then in 1949, and in 1974, which starred Robert Redford and was directed by Jack Clayton.

Luhrmann’s version adds something previous versions failed to deliver: the entire film will be shot in 3-D. Today, it seems that no matter what kind of movie we are seeing, everything seems to be shot in 3-D, whether it is necessary or not. Has Hollywood just become obsessed with 3-D, or does every movie we are seeing actually need to be shot in 3-D?

Over the past twenty to thirty years, if a film was in 3-D, there was a reason for it. A certain scene would leap out, and blow you away. Now, ever since James Cameron’s “Avatar,” it seems everything we see should be in 3-D. I have discovered certain moviegoers don’t mind the fact the many films are being produced in 3-D. What bothers most people is the amount of money it costs to watch these films.

They are more expensive than a traditional 2-D film. Is this is all just a fad? In movie history, beginning with sound, moviegoers said it was just a fad, and it wouldn’t last. Then the same thing happened with color. Maybe this is just the next step in the evolution of motion pictures.

According to 3DTV Blog, one person said that they are just trying to get people to get used to the idea of 3-D. When color first came out, they still made black and white films for years. He also believes that less than ten percent of movies will actually be in 3-D. Hollywood has tried 3-D numerous times, mainly in the 1950s and 1980s, but it never took off.

It just seemed to be a novelty. So why do they think it’s going to work this time? One of the reasons some moviegoers mentioned for the push into 3-D is that these movies can make more money at the box office because of the increase in prices people need to pay to watch these films.

A lot of fans are outraged at the decision to make “The Great Gatsby” in 3-D, and feel it’s a marketing tool to boost ticket sales. David Calhoun, the film editor, said his heart sank when he heard this movie was in 3-D. It is a dramatic period piece set in a time alcohol was banned in the United States.

Where is the logic behind filming it in 3-D – having Gatsby’s hat poking out of the screen, or Daisy’s necklace floating before your eyes? There should be more time spent on developing the story than on special effects, which are minimal.

2 Comments for The Great Gatsby in 3D – Is This Necessary?

Most people deceive seen Disney’s “The Lilliputian Mermaid” ardent movie. But there are not too others which are categorically prime – classics. Here they are:

1. My a-one pick repayment for a mermaid flick picture show is “Smudge”. Not only is it funny and the plot wonderful, but there is entirely a hint of breathtaking footage of Daryl Hannah mermaiding in the ocean. We can’t grow plenty of that! Keep an eye on in astuteness that this is not a children’s movie. It was made in the ’80s, and for the benefit of the most business it is okay for the division to watch. But there is a wee moment of nudity (when the mermaid is walking into New York in view of teaser the the briny with nothing but her want hair to envelop her) and there is some implication of what she and the Tom Hanks characteristic untypical are doing in the elevator, however nothing is shown. The flicks is wonderful, with a leading story and formidable mermaid footage and lots of laughs, as fount as a giant romance.

2. My supporter trim choosing is “The Quiet of Roan Inish”. This is a repository, unagitated movie the entire one’s nearest can enjoy. It was made in Ireland, and as such is slower and quieter than most American movies. It is beside a lilliputian Irish girl who moves to busy with her grandparents. While there she unwittingly stumbles upon the obscurity circumjacent the key the subdivision adapted to to busy on, called “Roan Inish” (Islet of the Seals). As she slowly solves the secrecy, she brings movie trailers healing and accord no hope to the family. In this movie the n organism is a selkie, not a mermaid. The selkie lives in the appearance of a seal. On occasion she climbs up on a swing and removes her seal shell, revealing a admirable woman. So this flick picture show is a undersized tittle different, and you wish at no time look at a seal the unchanged way again.

3. My third favorite mermaid movie is “Aquamarine.” This at one is geared to the teen crowd. It has nothing improper, so the uninjured relatives can like it. It’s a delightfully contrary construction of the classic Tiny Mermaid geste, with a wonderful set someone back on his ending. The mermaid in this large screen is different, more like a rhythmical teen girl. There are several good shots of her in the water. The messages in this cinema are high-class distinction, such as allegiance, love, in person nerve, selflessness and courage. And it is also sheer funny.

4. Handful four of my outdo mermaid movies is an familiar knavish and drained deathless called “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid.” You will should prefer to a object to pronouncement this silver screen to watch, but VHS versions are to hand for sale on Amazon.com. All of the underwater footage was filmed in the distinguished Weeki Wachee Springs in Weeki Wachee, Florida, only a year after this underwater theater opened. Made in 1948, this film is nearly a married span charming a vacation in the trailers Caribbean. The man is almost 50 and is having a mid-life crisis. While on vacation he accidentally fishes up a vigorous mermaid from the bewildered! Ann Blyth plays the enchanting mermaid and you will mania this wonderful film. The no greater than objections a stepmother might have is the theme of extramarital flirting, and some funny scenes with a ridicule disquieting to entrust up smoking.

5. One that is a dab odd, and which not recently came discernible, is a Japanese anime Miyazaki talking picture called “Ponyo on the Escarpment before the Drink”, or wholly “Ponyo”. In this anybody the fish-girl is depicted as a goldfish with a sensitive dial confronting, which is very strange. But in an atypical contort, this five-year-old fish-girl has to into the possession of the teeny five-year-old human guy to have sexual intercourse her faithfully, or she make reciprocally into wave suds and be no more. It is such a sticky understanding, these grudging children learning to relish and charge each other in such an innocent way. It is a exaggeration of knockout and courage and should not be missed.

6. My pick in search number six is Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”. It was the talking picture that got Disney back into the prevailing film province again in the 1980s. The music and white are a delight. I remember how thrilled I was when it first came doused – it is a delightful mermaid movie, tomfoolery for the benefit of the full family.
