"And it is this, I think, that makes Kafka’s wit inaccessible to children whom our culture has trained to see jokes as entertainment and entertainment as reassurance. It’s not that students don’t “get” Kafka’s humor but that we’ve taught them to see humor as something you get — the same way we’ve taught them that a self is something you just have. No wonder they cannot appreciate the really central Kafka joke — that the horrific struggle to establish a human self results in a self whose humanity is inseparable from that horrific struggle. That our endless and impossible journey toward home is in fact our home"

First trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby

This looks like the most excessive, ridiculous adaptation of a classic work ever. I mean, the trailer starts with a song from Watch the Throne. Baz Luhrmann is a madman. So yeah, I clearly can’t wait.
