The Great Gatsby and critique of the rich

This was a reply to a slightly-unrelated IMDb reply post, which eventually transformed into something resembling a review.

I see the the critique of the old money in almost every part of the film in the portrayal of the vile, overbearing racist of Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), and the evident misplacement of evil and wrong betwix him and the kind Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio). — In which Gatsby was not inherently evil, but ran a 'wrong' business; whereas Tom ran the 'right' business, and was almost the manifestation of evil.

The main point of the critique shows through in the latter part of the film in the hotel room conflict between Tom and Gatsby. The criticism of the rich need not necessarily be told to the viewer outright, but subtly shown through a series of events and decisions of each participant.
