Jake Hamilton sits down to talk with the stars and director of THE GREAT GATSBY — Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Baz Luhrmann (director) — only on Jake’s Takes!
Synopsis:
“The Great Gatsby” follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
Jake Hamilton is an American film critic and documentary producer. Formerly a teen film critic for the Houston Chronicle and the HoustonPBS talk show The After Party, he now hosts the Emmy-nominated film review segment Jake's Takes, produced by KRIV-TV (FOX Houston).
