The Great Gatsby- 8/10
The island was an illusion of paradise. It showed up miraculously just at the time when they needed most to refuel, but its greatness did not last forever. I do like your interpretation and think it makes sense also. The island could also be a reminder that, while there are some great things on this earth, life's imperfections do not allow things do not stay great forever. Happiness based on earthly desires is fleeting.

9/10
Boyhood 8.5/10
If you guys don't know about this movie, it's the one that the director used the same kid (actually, family) and filmed this over a 12 year span. A REAL 12 year span. The story revolves around the boy, and you watch him grow up from a 6 yr old kid through HS and onto college. Patrica Arquette, Ethan Hawk are the two names I recognized. Was pretty cool to see this story (wasn't a documentary onthe kid's real life, he plays a part that he continues to play through the 12 yrs of his life) develope and see the kid at the end of the movie is REALLY the 6 yr old that you watched as a boy earlier inthe movie.
The director did a FANTASTIC job of transitioning through the movie as time moved forward. I never felt as though you could see the difference in quality, in direction, in styles or styles. It felt as if this movie was made in the normal "few months" that most are made in, yet it was filmed over 12 years. VERY cool. It's 2:45, but it didn't feel like I was bored or looking for the clock/watch. We most probably will never see another movie made with the same actors that was developed over a decade to film. I recommend it for that reason alone.

8/10
I said the ame thing. Was good that they showed the Dad "grow up".. and despite him moving away because he didn't want a family, move back and REALLY want to be a part of his kids life..being a good dad.. and being there for his kids. I thought Arquette did a great job as well being the single mom tht would do "what she had to" to make it as a single woman raising two kids.
