I chose "The Great Gatsby" as a great movie poster. It's filled with symbolism, just like the book. The story itself, and the movie, are filled with double meanings. Here, the tux is also a glass, and a spotlight on Gatsby and Daisy dancing. The sharp black contrast also allows the olde-time font to shine through. I also like how the city line and car are crisply laid out at the bottom. I personally see the pocket as a house as well, where the lavish parties Gatsby threw are held. The poster gives off a 1920s feel, with simple black and white, but it is so bold. I personally love posters that are simple like this. It doesn't force your eye to see everything at once. They allow you to dissect the picture, whilst not giving away everything at once. The movie is glamorous, and so is this poster.
