Directed by: Baz Luhrmann
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan
Other mistake: At the very end Nick writes "The Great" in ink above the typed title "Gatsby" on the cover of his manuscript. The E in "The" is a completely different style to the E in "Great."
Suggested correction: It is the therapist who writes The Great. As for why the Es look different, not everyone one is able to write their letters the same every single time.
Continuity mistake: When George kills Gatsby, Gatsby falls into the pool with his arms by his side, but from a reverse angle, his arms are raised in the air. (02:02:35)
Daisy Buchanan: All the bright precious things fade so fast... And they don't come back.
Question: In the scene where Gatsby is telling Nick his origin story, Nick narrates that Cody (a man he saved and sailed the ocean with) died and he was cheated out of his inheritance by Cody's family and he was once again dirt poor. After this part has been narrated, a clip of spinning newspapers is shown of what happens to Gatsby after this. As this happens, if you listen in the background, you'll notice that there is a song beginning to play. What is this song that is playing? (01:09:40)
Chosen answer: The song is "Back to Black" by Beyoncé (Feat. Andre 3000).
