Direction and my opinion 

As I have read this book, it was very interesting for me to watch this film. The film is able to show us almost everything that showed a novel. Terrible society of the time, who likes to "relax" with a bottle of suffering of the lower classes, some characters, black life, hiding between the "lines" of the film, hiding in the idle costumes, music and fun. The whole basis as books, so, naturally, the film focuses in society: his vices, his dishonesty, his immorality, in the end, his indifference, selfishness and other things like that. All this the director shows in bright colors that contrast mutilated faces, their behavior, so that the audience could see too much of this "beauty." But why I was so interested in and read, and see "The Great Gatsby" - the answer is simple: the society for almost one hundred years has not changed - and that's scary! Nobody don't want anyone, everybody lies, running away from responsibility, drink, do not reciprocate the feelings of another person. But it is, perhaps, a tragedy, denouncing the fact that many are afraid to confront, to tell about it - TRUTH! It seems that he and the person we love, respect, and will not be forgotten after his death, but sometimes it is so that you do not want anyone to have, even during his lifetime, wearing a mask of self-confidence, taking the false love of others.

Acting is the strongest film side. DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan - direct hit to the image. Some criticized the game Tobey Maguire, but I love his Nick, believed his hero, and he accurately reflected the lack of confidence and interest in, and experience, and participation. About DiCaprio can say only one thing - it is not the most interesting part, but very chic. Best Gatsby by DiCaprio! Separately want to mention the incredible beauty of costume characters, and the film itself, which is simply dazzling brightness,great camera work.

And in conclusion I want to say that «The Great Gatsby» - is a strong, filled with deep meaning and philosophy (sometimes hiding), film that is worth seeing for many, especially those who prefer something a "take away" from them after viewing, but not look and forget. As for me, it is a successful adaptation, but not without its flaws.

1    The article published on the Hollywood reporter is headlined Brooklyn Park Dedicated to Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch.  It reports that one day before the first anniversary of the death of Adam Yauch, (aka MCA of the Beastie Boys), a park in Brooklyn Heights has been renamed in his honor.

The author writes that Brooklyn parks commissioner Kevin Jeffrey, Beasties member Adam Horovitz and Yauch's parents Noel and Frances Yauch gathered to dedicate and rename Palmetto Playground, located on Columbia Place and State Street, blocks from Adam's childhood home. Yauch’s mother told the small crowd on hand that her son learned to ride his bike in the park.

Reading this article it’s necessary to emphasize that Markowitz expresses his respect for this singer, considering him best of the best, pound for pound. Also the author gives us some information about this musician.

In conclusion we knew that Yauch was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2009 and passed away a month after the ceremony.
As I didn’t know this musician I can’t I say anything about his music, but if a park named by his name, so it was worth it.

The article published on News.com.au on 2 May is headlined Will.i.am wants to make more than music. This article reports us about performer will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas and his attitude to the music.
Reading this article it’s necessary to note that The Black Eyed Peas frontman is computer chip-maker Intel's "director of creative innovation". He's also partnered with Coca-Cola to create a new brand of products from recycled bottles and cans, including headphones and clothes.
It’s an open secret that it's his fourth solo album but the first in six years and the first since the Peas became global megastars with hits like Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling. As a solo artist, he has yet to match the Peas' success in album sales; his latest debuted at No.9 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart this week with 29,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
It was revealed that  will.i.am is looking well beyond pop charts to measure future success. The 38-year-old Los Angeles native sat down with The Associated Press in a recording studio for a conversation that touched on topics ranging from the Notorious B.I.G. to his late grandmother.
Analyzing this situation it is necessary to emphasize that he believe that he'll still make music. You've still got to promote the (stuff) you make. So he'll use music to bring awareness to the things he make. It's the original use of music.
And it’s interesting fact that for this person all his family, especially his grandma influences on his music.
I personally very rarely listen his music and The Black Eyed Peas’s works, but I believe he is a great singer.

The article published on the Guardian on 3 May, 2013 is headlined  Hop Farm music festival cancelled due to poor ticket sales and. It  reports that Music festival called Hop Farm cancelled.
Reading this article it’s necessary to emphasize that promoter Vince Power, who has put on performers such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Morrissey as headliners in past years, said he had pulled the plug "with great sadness".
It’s an open secret that this event has been staged for five years on a Kent farm, but Power said the tough economic climate had proved too much this year.
 The author reports that Power thought that despite their hard work, circumstances are such that based on poor ticket sales and the forecast selling rate substantial losses would be made.  Also this man said thank you for everyone, who helped with this festival and also thank the fans that have supported us over the past five years. To conclusion ticket holders will be refunded. I think that it’s a sad thing that this festival did not take place, because such events always bring joy and delight to all people.

1  The article published on the Reuters  on 2 May, 2013  is headlined Rolling Stones release low-priced seats ahead of L.A. show. The article reports that famous band released some low-priced seats seats , because it was too expensive for fans.
To read this article it’s necessary to emphasize that secondary ticket sellers StubHub had more than 500 tickets available 24 hours before the May 3 show, Good Seat tickets said they were slashing re-sale prices by 40 percent, and Epic Nation rolled out a 10 percent discount code.
According to the website statistic, some of the $85 seats will be among the best seats in house in the "Tongue Pit," with others spread around the arena. Buyers will be notified of their seat location on the day of the show.
It was revealed that on Thursday, seats at prices ranging from $250 to $600 were still available, according to the AXS website operated by AEG, which owns the Staples Center arena that seats about 19,000 people.
It’s fact that It's the biggest tour by the Stones in six years and follows a handful of dates in London, Paris and New York at the end of 2012. Tickets for the London shows in November sold out swiftly despite complaints from fans over similarly high prices.
The author also reports that The band played a more reasonably priced $20 "surprise" gig in Los Angeles last Saturday. The Rolling Stones last went on the road from 2005 to 2007, playing 144 shows globally and grossing more than $550 million, one of the world's most lucrative tours.
Talking about this situation it’s necessary to note that guitarist Mick Taylor, who played with the Stones from 1969 to 1974, is joining frontman Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts, as a guest on the North American tour.
To sum up the author writes that the Rolling Stones will play London's Hyde Park, and for the first time in their career, the Glastonbury music festival in England, both of which are sold out.
To my mind, this decision saves the band from omissions. I am not a fan of this group, that’s why I can’t fully understand the emotions of fans. But I believe that it’s band may please their fans for a long time.

The article published on the website «CBS News» on April 2 by Lesley Savage and is headlined "Finding Nemo" sequel "Finding Dory" coming in fall 2015. The article reports about new cartoon Finding Dory, which coming soon.
The author informed that Pixar is finally taking us back to the sea. Disney announced on Tuesday that its follow-up to 2003's Oscar-winning splash hit "Finding Nemo" will be titled "Finding Dory," and will focus on the loveable, little blue tang fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres. The movie, which will be directed by original "Nemo" co-director Andrew Stanton, will hit theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.
The article carries comment of DeGeneres, who thought that the script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is -- it's got a lot more Dory
Analyzing this situation it is necessary to emphasize that "Finding Dory" will apparently take place about a year after the events of "Nemo." Characters including Marlin, Nemo and the "Tank Gang" will all be back, though Pixar didn't specify whether actors including Albert Brooks and Willem Dafoe will return to voice them.
Then it’s necessary to note that "Finding Nemo" reportedly earned $380,843,261 at the domestic box office and an additional $540,900,000 at the international box office, for a total worldwide gross of $921,743,261. That's pretty impressive for a movie about some little fishes that had a production budget of $94 million. It also won the 2003 Academy Award for best animated feature
The author draws to conclusion that DeGeneres may have raised a good point -- a little more Dory, a lot sooner, would have likely gone over just swimmingly with "Nemo" fans. And also he asks us about our opinion of that cartoon.
So, I think that this cartoon will be funny and nice as the first part. If I will have any free time,   I will watch this cartoon in the cinema, but I'll probably wait until it appears on the Internet
