I'm starting with my favorite song from the album. Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey! This song played several times throughout the movie and every time it played I cried. The song fits so perfectly with the relationship between Jay and Daisy. The first time it played was when Daisy was reading the letters from Jay on the day of her wedding to Tom. All the scenes where they played this song fit so perfectly. You have to watch the movie to understand.
Also this played when Daisy and Gatsby reunited and had a blast the entire day they were at the mansion and everyone was happy and smiling and you know it wouldn't last but you hope it would anyways. Well that made me cry as well. (Basically I cried throughout the movie lol)
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
When they played the reprise version of this at the end and the irony that went along with it made me bawl my eyes out. Gatsby loves Daisy and thinks she will love him back through everything but in the end she takes the easy way out and doesn't even pay a visit to Gatsby's funeral.
I've seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant
In Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
The part I like to pretend Daisy sang after Gatsby's death while she went on vacay.
There was also a lot of rap music in the movie that people hated but I found a really good post on why it was a good choice. Someone on tumblr said that if they did indeed use jazz music or any other music of the time it would feel normal or old because we've heard it all before but if we use the newest music and rap right now it would be like jazz back in their day. It's cutting edge and hip to us which is what jazz was to them at the time.
ALSO LEO AS JAY GATSBY A++++++++
