Switching It Up To Gatsby!

One of my favorite stories we ever read this semester was The Great Gatsby. I just really love that book. I read it in high school and of course again for this class. When I read it in high school we also watched the original movie, because at the time the remake wasn't quite out yet. That's what I want to talk about in this post. The remake of The Great Gatsby. I want to know everyone's thoughts on that. I really enjoyed the remake and what they did with it. I think they picked the perfect actors and actresses for the roles in the film. The one thing I really want to talk about when it comes to this movie is an artist who sang a famous song for it. Lana Del Rey sang "Young and Beautiful" for the film. I think what made me think of her is at the end of this month I am going to see her in concert with my sister. But anyways... I believe the song ties the film together pretty well and that was definitely one of my favorite things we read this semester!
Enclosed is a video of the song that Lana Del Rey sang. I figured I'd share it all with you. Enjoy!

  1. I love your musical selections. I've always loved music. My mom sings all the time so I'm pretty sure that's the first thing I ever experienced as a human, we can hear in utero so I'm told. Lana DelRey has a beautiful voice, thank you for sharing this song with us, I'll have to look up more of her stuff now.
