The Great Gatsby (2013)

Continuity mistake: While Gatsby says the "you can repeat the past" speech, Nick is standing against a column. Then the shot changes to a wide angle where he starts to walk away. Then, suddenly, the previous angle is used and Nick is back next to the column for the rest of the scene.
