greeting again from the darkness . no doubt head into this one with inflated expectation of greatness . while the basic theme fascinates me and the execution of the storyline just do not quite keep my interest . mostly i just keep ask why . why do so few people realize what be happen . why be bb attract to cate blanchett character ( most guy would have run away ) . why be cate character attract to bb ( he seem quite dull ) . david fincher be a stud director with a resume that include zodiac and fight club and seven . he seem to do what he can with eric roth adaptation of fitzgerald short story . i just felt it need more detail and more happening . our only real glimpse of bb travel be on the tug boat and those be probably the highlight of the film and next to the uniqueness of the make up and special effect . contrast this to the far superior forrest gump and also pen by mr. roth . brad pitt play the role in a disarmingly quiet mode and while cate blanchett and tarij p henson go overboard . the new orleans set and other set design be outstanding . the flashback scene from the hospital death bed be give a nice twist with katrina bear down . seem to be a movie many would enjoy and i have just hop for a bit more .
