by myself, because no one wants to see it with me. Hopefully its good. 

I understand there are people who haven’t read the book or heard of it before, but not everyone had the luxuries others have or weren’t in the same English classes as others. The movie is still a movie. It wasn’t made JUST for the people who read the book, but for the general audience as well. Movies help introduce literature to people, so hopefully they will decide to pick up the book themselves. 

From,

Someone who read the book AND is excited for the movie.

• Me: *turns to him dramatically* Gatsby? What Gatsby?
