With the most sincere of apologies to my AP English teacher Brother Aquinas, I never read The Great Gatsby<\/em><\/a>. And owing to old age, any knowledge that I had of the plot from my perusal of the Cliff Notes version has been lost through the years. So I went into today\u2019s viewing of Baz Luhrmann\u2019s take<\/a> on this classic work of American literature with very little bias. I\u2019ve never even seen Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s 70\u2019s version with Robert Redford. The closest interaction I\u2019ve had with the iconic work is the frequent laundering of my son\u2019s Great Gatsby<\/em> t-shirt from Urban Outfitters.<\/p>\n

This disclaimer being stated, I\u2019ll share with you that I walked out of the theater snared by the story, hook, line and sinker. The novel is now downloading on my Kindle and Robert Redford is now queued\u00a0in my Netflix account. I\u2019m fascinated and devastated all at the same time.<\/p>\n
