8. FILM LOCATION  The Great Gatsby location: the Gatsby mansion: Rose cliff, Newport, Rhode Island

9. WHY I LIKE THE MOVIE?  I like The Great Gatsby because it’s a mysterious, action, drama, and comedy movie and those are my 3 favorite types of movies. I also like this movie because is in past tense and I like movies that takes place in the old days. I like the fact that the movie was not in black and white, and I think that this movie has a cool meaning. I only think that the ending was kind of messed up because the main guy dies and nobody shows up to his funerals.
