I liked almost everything about this movie, except the music. Rap music does not belong to this movie in any way, shape or form. Young people who grew up with rap music would not know this and would not how disconcerting it was to not have 1920's blues, Cole Porter and other musicians' music from that era in it. George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue is about the only Gershwin that belongs in it since the book came out in 1925. I think attention to detail such as making sure the characters shake hands properly as they would in that era is the kind of thing that makes a film goes from good to excellent as far as ratings go. Why not go for the total picture? Tinsel would have been made of tin then, not plastic. The costumes were stunning, the cinematography fantastic and the architectural details were wonderous. F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda would have been drunk with happiness and would not have noticed the flaws.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
