Borne Back Ceaselessly
So there’s a new Gatsby movie, full of crap fast-cut song-and-dance scenes ala Moulin Rouge. I like the way the director, Baz Luhrmann, is so very fakeGatsby when he says stuff like:
So instead of being borne back into a horrid past where you had to use these simply awful 2-D techniques such as “dialogue” and “plot” and “timing” and “framing” to create “energy”, Gatsby is such a vacuous palimpsest that it enables you to move into a glorious, remorseless future. Much like Jay Gatsby’s fantastical mechanical juicer.
