In Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, Jay Gatsby (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) lives a life of opulence and extravagance. His grand mansion, lavish parties, and expensive cars are the epitome of luxury. While we may not all be able to afford such a lifestyle, it's certainly a dream for many. The film's depiction of Gatsby's world is a commentary on the excesses of the Roaring Twenties and the American Dream.
