  • The song fucking ruined it!

  • Comment removed

  • The book was horrible and this movie doesnt look any better

  • @HudCatWilliam Yep. The Great Gatsby is the biggest load of fucking shit I'd ever had the displeasure of reading.

  • @ShitMovies2000 How can you say that!! It's like the quintessential American novel!! A masterpiece!!

  • @Streetlights10 But the movie is not good. I will give you that. I look forward to the 2012 remake!

  • @Streetlights10 lol, you got that from the first few pages of the book.

    How can I say that? Because it's fucking shit.

  • @ShitMovies2000 Well then you don't know what litterature is..

  • @Streetlights10 No, that's subjective, you're being incredibly arrogant by assuming that because I don't share your taste for books that I'm somehow ignorant. I don't like this book, deal with it you self-righteous twat.

  • @ShitMovies2000 Oh god shut up

  • @Streetlights10 ....good argument.

    (it's funny because you got mad)

  • Wow.. this movie really broke my heart.. such an awesome storyline.. i just wish i'd have read the book first :(

  • Fitzgerald, you are amazing.

  • I love Nick..Daisy is a bitch.

  • haha, using this to find quotes for english :)

  • This has got to be the sweetest love story ever. Of course, mixed in with the American Dream and the roaring 20's events :p

  • Did you write all of the words? I really like 35-55 seconds. =)

  • It takes real talent to make a crappy trailer from one of the best American novels.

  • Comment removed

  • Why did Yahoo link this to Leonardo Di Caprio's new adaptation of "The Great Gatsby"? This is not even original and it shows scenes from the older film featuring Robert Redford.

  • Fitzgerald's writing is now dated. A much better writer from the period was Faulkner.

  • terrible book will be a terrible movie

  • I read it for the first time at 16; and truly this book made me fall in love with literature. I still remember the chills I felt in the moments before Gatsby was killed, just the utter hopelessness. So beautiful. 

  • finally !!!! the movie is made

  • Comment removed

  • Great Gatsby was an absolutely amazing book

  • Thumbs up if you came here to see the story behind the remake of this movie ... "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Amitabh Bachan. :D

  • can somebody lead me to the real freakin trailer, i need it for englishhh pls

  • X3 I love Nick. I'm going to write an essay about how I deserve Nick more than everyone. O_O

  • i hate the man playing the great Gatsby - yuck.

  • Stupid English assignment -__-

  • music = shit

    captions = shit

    overall, you fucked it up, F.

  • wuz you high when u did this look at this shit turn off that music

  • @DTJACK01 at least i can make a video and pass my english class... what can you do?? i know one thing is for sure, you have no idea how to speak the english language. dfy dumbass

  • so beutiful and i thing the music is so fitting

  • oh hell yeah bianceeeeeee

  • beyonce is a stinky bitch.

  • SUcks

    

  • music is horrible

  • whats the song at the beggingin?

  • lol. They read this on english AP? wth were reading this on a regular english 3 class. -.-

  • @ybz17 AP classes usually go more in depth into the book, my teacher spent 1 whole class explaining the signifigance of Gatsby's attire.

  • @icesnoop Woooowwww. haha. Yeah. AP classes are different. :P I dont think were gonna talk about clothes the whole class. XD haha

  • @ybz17 they read it in regular English II at my school xP

  • @ybz17 I was thinking the same thing lol. I read this in English 2.

  • Such an amazing book. Definitely one of the best in history

    and yes. We all hate Daisy

  • The only Great Gatsby movie worth watching was directed by Martin Scorcese and stars Vinnie Chase.

  • @danielsfoley Fuck yes

  • this is very good!

  • This movie really changed my life in the sense of how i view the wealthy, and how they preyed upon the underclasses, wow , unbelievable, wow, mind boggling,

  • Great distraction and great vide0!! thank u webmovietube

  • Did Gatsby love Daisy? Was he simply in love with the idea of Daisy? Or was Daisy just a representation of the ideal life he desired? Sorry, lol, as an English student I'm forced to scrutinise. Great effort, and deserving of a high grade I feel.

  • this is really incredible work! im so impressed! hope you got an A+!!!!! :D

  • I like it!

  • so...what was your grade

  • @SergeiSovietUnion1 spolier alert

  • This was great, i am going to a party and this is the theme, so it's given me some ideas for a costume. And, i LOVE this song, who cares if it's not relevant...

  • this is ballin' fasho.

  • I actually dislike Gatsby as a character really.

  • Thanks for the music that RUINED EVERYTHING. Idiot, right here.

  • @brianberek how can you just go around calling people you dont even know that they are idiots??? do you need to call other people idiots because you are so unhappy with your own life?? seriously, you need to reevaluate your values and morals in life. people like you make me sick to my stomach.

  • thank you soo much for posting thiss, I've been trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do & its exactly how my teacher wants itt. greattt jobbb!

  • thumbs up if u actually read some of the book instead of just watch the film once

  • @Rachulie

    Why only "some"? I've read all of it...

  • @Harleyhoo5 I really wanna read the book but first i wanna know what it's about. Can you tell me? =D

  • Mordern music and Old classic movie -> What a brilliant combination! Love your video so much. By the way, what song did you use? It is so great.

  • you caught the major parts so its ok

  • frig, this is so frustrating

    im trying to find the actual movie trailer and yours keeps popping up

    rename it to school project or something so i dont think on this 500 times ..

  • The music is so Dumb...nothing to do with the era the book was written.

  • @dulcemusik71 its not supposed to do with the era of the book, its supposed to represent the meaning of the book which it does if you had actually read and understood it.

  • how's the music related to the movie

  • It was a pretty good book / movie i just hated the reading questions that came with it

  • the wasteland.......so we beat on, boats against the urrent, boirne back incessantly ....it eluded us then but that's no matter into the past

  • The song ruined the whole thing!

  • Hope you enjoy Great Gatsby Mother Creation

  • "I've never seen suck beautiful shirts!!" Oh, good times in English class. I'm stuck doing a movie trailer for my class too :) Sadly.

  • Wonderful job!! A big THANK YOU!! for posting and an excellent choice of music!

    Celebrating my birthday tomorrow and this is an early gift!!

  • Does Beyonce has to get her 2 cents in everything. I am so sick of her. Please Stop!

  • Ohh...Beyonce and Gatsby together will give me intense nightmares for the next few months..

    Its the equivalent of chainsaws and puppies...

  • You're right, what has been done cannot be undone. And what has been heard cannot be unheard, sadly. But take the criticisms as a guiding light in your future film and literature-oriented projects, perhaps? :) I hope you earned a 3 or higher.

  • Beyonce and Gatsby just don't go together....u must be retarded to do something like this

  • @WhiteOpsUndercover you must be retarded if you can relate the words of the song to the meaning of the book and the relationship between Gatsby's "angel" Daisy and Beyonce's halo....

  • Oh My Gosh! This was a great video!! I really enjoyed it and can tell you put a lot of effort in it. I'm almost positive you got an A, and if you didn't something is wrong with that teacher and you deserved an A.

  • I read the book and I hate the sad ending. Tom and Daisy are really annoying!

  • Halo? Hotel California would have fit better.

  • whats the story line?? plot etc someone help!!!

  • I hated George Wilson for shooting Gatsby!! I almost cried when he shot him, then he shot him like 6 times! what the heck! I was all like noooo please don't shoot Gatsby!!

  • Great movie. Timeless & very philosofical.

    The trailer arrangement sucks.

  • i think its dope as fukc

  • Worst video editing ever. I hope you fail your project and get kicked out of school.

  • @Shmilfke loooooooool

  • 2:00 I was outBid 4sum Pearls like Daisy' s by aTexan AMERICAn looking a bit gay in a white suit, unLike Robert here.He was with a Brunette Hispanic/LATINo LADY at an ARGENTINE Polo & Pato _Charity_ Do.

  • this was awesome. :) i love it! great job. I am currently reading that book and finally getting to see the faces of the characters and hearing them say some of the parts of the book, i love it! I can't wait until we watch the movie in our english class here soon! :D

  • Very cool!Best book,beautiful film..With this music- really amazing!

  • haha every one hates daisy.

    m reading this book right now, great story i must say. i am loving the book!

  • @AnuAkh yeah really good book........ i m also reading this book right now.........

  • @jahnavimdave

    Just finished it last night for the second time (haven't read it since high school). . definitely one of my favorites! btw anyone also read the Sun Also Rises by Hemmingway? I stumbled on that a couple weeks ago and am almost done. . very similar book, can't decide which I like better but I'm leaning toward Gatsby

  • the audio sucks large cock

  • wow that was really good =)

    & I think this song fits really well with Gatsby, good job!

  • well done, you managed to gay up a awsome story with this bad music.

  • Even though it was put together really well, it was really nothing like a movie trailer.

    Movie trailers rarely exceed 2:30

    The song didn't fit the time period, (although the lyrics fit the theme of the book a little)

    and trailers almost never have text appearing over and image, mostly to a black background, or fading to one.

    but even though it sounds like i'm being a dick and pointing out all the video's flaws, i really liked it. lol

  • @dreamrequiem212 i really appreciate your criticism.. you actually helped unlike some people here on youtube.

  • @scorrado9 If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, right? Haha. It's not a problem. =]

  • That was really well done. Thanks

  • A man trying to catch what cannot be caught. "and so we beat on, boats against the current." such a harrowingly beautiful book.

  • this book drags longer than my grandpa's nutsack

    Surely something that justifies classic is going to pop up any time now

  • it's an amazing book

  • i love Beyonce and this song...but honestly..it has NO PLACE with this trailer....BIG FAIL GUYS!!!

  • i think it fits pretty well. Have you actually read the book?

  • have you? :P

  • @sorasolo yeah man, did it for AS-level english :)

  • @sorasolo yeah man, did it for AS-level english :)

  • Agreed. It needs some 20's music to reflect the era the book takes place in. Beyonce doesn't really fit.

  • @HeatLegs

    WELL SAID.

  • OMG beyonce?! LMFAO wow. im sorry, thats terrible. great gatsby=roaring 20s classic music ...not bull stinky

  • Comment removed

  • The music is Beautiful & So is the Book...Its so suitable

  • I hate Daisy

  • for real.

  • @Kasim235 fuck daisy..she ruined him

  • why?

  • NickxGatsby ftw.

  • @Kasim235 true that

  • what the hell lol

    this music is not fitting at all

  • LOL

  • @jumpyourbone agreed but its nice

  • The books better!

  • I think that halo is beyonce's best song probably, yet it seemed maybe just a little off here, but I still thought it was pretty good

  • How do you combine the GREAT Gatsby to Beyonce? Or even the same category!? Not fitting. How about classical music from a GREAT composer?

    Nice attempt

  • how about some true music of the period? Bix Biederbeck maybe? Some cool old rag music would be fitting. But Beyonce? ugh

  • the great gatsby has been one of my favorite books but i was kind of surprised to know that they had a movie out... i saw it... first 15 minutes and couldnt watch any further. maybe its not always a good idea to make a movie of everything. even a book as good as this.

    PS: omg the music in this video is... so off. nice attempt tho.

  • Comment removed

  • ...it's about the decline of the American dream.

  • Gatsby is legendary.

    Beyonce is about as deep as my cup of coffee.

    Kinda made me disgusted by that mixture.

  • this awesome! thanks! :)

  • This is really good =) my english teacher actually showed this to us in class

  • im doing this book for an english project; i have to turn a scene in the book into a scene for a movie.

  • Oh wow it's fantastic!, is the best video I've seen of the book "The Great Gatsby", just I can say: Congratulations and go ahead with this project! Very very nice! Thank you very much, because it's a professional job!.

  • wtf, halo

    ?

  • Gatsby for me is hot!!! in a jazz time point of view...

  • aww this is reli good, i think the song fits well with it:)

    xxx

  • Just to let everyone know, I appreciate all the comments. However, I am not looking for any commentary or criticism because it was posted only for an AP English project that was already turned in and graded. So, if you have nothing nice to say, do not say it because there is no way to fix what has already been done. Thank you.

  • i read this book 2 years ago and when i finish it i realized that the story really suits perfect with an experience i had with some rich and popular girl...cause i was also in love with a remembrance of the past not really with that person..and i did everything i could to woo her back..but sadly it wasnt the same so i couldt repeat the past...

  • @scorrado3 where did you get the clips for the movie? I cant find it on youtube.

  • @scorrado3 You know you don't have to read the comments.

  • @scorrado3 you could delete it from youtube.

  • this is so cute i love it!!

  • hahahahahahaha at 1:41 imagine they were acctually all just going pure crazy to beyonce

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm laughing so hard!!! They look funny as hell!!! HAHA!!!

  • the music doesnt fkn ft the song

  • haha the music doesn't fit the movie* and i think it was well done

  • The music suits in the beginning very well .. but it gets strange at 1:26

  • ........ Jazz Age..... so I think Jazz music would have been nice..... or in this case a better replacement would be no music.

  • i agree with huxdog, im sorry but you took a classic and destroyed it by shaping it to fit a shitty 21st centuiry aesthetic

  • Brilliant!

    A+++

  • I remember my killer lecturer, Ms Roembilin acchh..

    I got B minus, oh boy oh boy

  • this music could not be more out of place...

    please dont rape great literature and films in your spare time....

  • yeah the background music sucked

    but the movie was terrible too i don't know what you are talking about "great films"

  • terrible music

  • indeed terrible music lol

  • One of the best books I have read

  • Nice! looks kinda sad and romantic

  • That is because it is...

  • This is an amazing book to study at school!

    'You can't repeat the past' ;(

    Awesome video

  • you cant repeat it , but you sure can remember it

  • best book evar!

  • Moronic.

  • thats sooo good (: Hope you got an A!

  • this in my fave book ever

  • scenes were well chosen. they captured the essance, and told the store of this film in 4 minutes. loved the modern twist with beyonce's halo.. put together, it was great. ya the sound was a bit choppy but come on, this is a 17 or 18 yr old AP english project.. im a grown adult and wouldn't know where to begin.. so Great effort in my opinion!

  • the movie is just horrible

  • isn't this book just wonderful?
