The Great Gatsby/ The Wolf of Wall Street

Finally, I am going to get to watch The Great Gatsby tonight on the BIG Screen. I absolutely love Baz Luhrmann as a director; I love all the colours in his films; the theatrical and dramatic acting, yet there is such realness to it. It really connects with me as an audience member.
Of course, there is the very talented Mr DiCaprio featured in the film, who has also worked with Baz Luhrmann before in the fantastic Romeo + Juliet along with Claire Danes.

I have always been a fan of DiCaprio, I feel as though he captures each moment within the character and scenario beautifully. He really brings the characters he plays to life. I would love to know the process DiCaprio goes through, from the script to getting into the character on set.
For Gatsby; DiCaprio said he read and re-read the novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald. To study not just the character but the scene and the atmosphere.

I am really looking forward to see the no doubt theatrical performances by the actor/actresses and by the set itself tonight. Furthermore, while looking at some Gatsby clips, I came across The Wolf of Wall Street; directed by the wonderful Martin Scorsese, that is definitely another MUST SEE.
