Did anyone catch the connection to..


Is it just me or was there a homage or connection to novel The Great Gatsby? Hugh Jackman's character's "assumed" real name is Jamie Getz. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby's real name is James "Jimmy" Gatz. Jay, Jimmy, and Jamie all all the same nickname for James, and the last names are too similar not to be dismissed.

I'm just surprised I didn't make the connection before. It's too coincidental to ignore, especially when the movie is about one character trying to constantly reinvent himself.
