LET’S TALK ABOUT IT SERIES Movie: The Great Gatsby (PG-13)

The Great Gatsby is the second of three films to be presented between September and December 2025 as part of the discussion series, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT (LTAI) – Good Book/Bad Movie. It is based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a writer and wall street trader, Nick Carraway, who finds himself drawn to the past and the lifestyle of his mysterious millionaire neighbor, Jay Gatsby, amid the riotous parties of the Jazz Age. Directed by Baz Luhrman in 2013, the film features actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, Carey Mulligan, and Elizabeth Debicki.

With discussions led by USC Aiken Humanities scholars, LTAI is more than your average book club. Participants will read, watch, and then compare the “good” novel to its respective “bad” film adaptation.
