Personal Opinion
It is an interesting film, I believe that love
that Gatsby and Daisy had, it was real. They were very patient and target were
found. It makes Gatsby ineteresante as large parties to attract your love!.
Does not give surrendered. And the teaching that leaves me is that despite any
problems. Love conquers everything.
