Update: Because Warner Bros has been continually putting a copyright claim on this video, I have been putting it's release on hold until it is resolved. Until Then, enjoy the early access to this finalized video!

Indeed, with my summer vacation, I have been able to complete a basic draft of my newest video slated to release this August, a deep dive into the 2013 Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby. I still have a couple of things to add, including some quotes from other people, and some more music tracks from Molly Noise, but hopefully not much more than that. This is a topic that I have been wanting to make into a video for a long time, and I was honestly shocked when I saw how much I had to say about both the book and the film. Moreover, I was even more shocked when I saw how I was able to complete the filming and editing for this video in the span of less than a month. Hopefully, this will mean that I won't be stressing myself out too much to produce a video by this September, but I hope you enjoy what I have in store for you with this one.

I have too many thoughts on The Great Gatsby (2013)

This video sees me delving into the 2013 adaptation of the Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann; a film that many have regarded as a definitive version of F Scot Fitzgerald's original novel, while others regard it as a dubstep-laden imitation of the literary classic. Which one is it? Settle in and find out, old sport!
