Flappers to rappers

In The Great Gatsby the song Jay-Z recreated was a perfect representation of how rap music can be put into a more classical setting and be good. The contemporary music in the movie gives it a more lively feeling and makes it more appealing to the people of this time. The music blended perfectly and matched up with the movie perfectly. It depicted the mood in the movie perfectly and showed some intensity and sensitivity. The music is at a perfect pace for the movie and I personally felt like it was made for the movie in a better way than most songs are in other movies. The contemporary music is much more upbeat than jazz and has more appeal to the public. It also gives the movie somewhat of a refurbishing because it has updated to current times even though it is based in the past. I think that attracts some people. The movie spins the music in a way such it seems like it is slowing the music down by a great deal. It made me become lost in what I was watching.
