Gatsby Soundtrack

The music makes the mood of the movie appear to be happier and more fun. It makes what could have been a very depressing movie a lively romance. The mood is creepy in some ways with the songs “Back to Black” and “Young and Beautiful” which gives it a cool kind of eerie vibe. The movie adds a new spin to the music by creating a mix of jazz and rap, which attracts a lot more young viewers. This sparks an interest in the 20’s era by the 90’s era kids making them interesting in all that happened back then. This music adds life to the movie and makes viewers want to go to one of Gatsby’s parties because they look so fun! The music was a great choice because then this movie wasn’t a complete copycat of the original. This movie now has its own personality and vibe, which now cannot be mimicked. The mood of the movie is fun at some points and very intense and serious at others. They did a very good job at putting appropriate songs with the right scenes so the audience would be in the right moods during each scene, therefore creating the appropriate reactions. They played “Young and Beautiful” during very somber moments where Daisy was feeling heartbroken, therefore appealing to women with lovers who make them feel the same way. “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” was played during the big extravagant party scene and when presenting Gatsby, making him look powerful and full of life. The songs in the Great Gatsby were awesome in completely the feel of the film and are now all very popular songs, bringing a little bit of jazz into our generations lives.
