This movie is both real and absurd. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it is.
I liked Daisy very much when I watched the movie, although she was frivolous and vain. When reading novels, I don’t understand Gatsby knows what kind of woman Daisy is and why he still loves her so much. After watching the movie, I learned that Daisy is innocent with frivolousness and vanity. People who get along with her are very happy. She just needs to be happy, just like a child, so even her vanity and frivolousness have become cute. . As Gatsby said: "Her voice is full of money." Her beauty and her innocence are piled up by money, which makes her vanity seem reasonable. It seems that she should have been living in abundance, naive all her life. It wasn't until the end that I remembered that this is a tragedy in the novel. When the movie is about to go into a car accident, I really want to stop. I don't want Gatsby to be wronged and die.
It's a pity that the movie finally got there, and I was uncomfortable. I knew the ending, and it was coming soon. tragedy! A vivid tragedy! Gatsby was dead and was shot by a poor man who committed suicide after killing Gatsby. He killed the wrong person and hated the wrong person. Presumably Tom wouldn't say anything nice to this poor man. He deceived the mechanic: Gatsby killed his wife, and Gatsby's wife was the target of cheating. So this poor man with a wrong hatred, obeyed his true enemy, and killed the innocent Gatsby. After that, he committed suicide, and he could no longer know that he had found the wrong person. Only here did I feel the horror of Daisy. Her innocence and cuteness shattered like bubbles, leaving only indifference and emptiness. The ending of the movie is even more heartbreaking. Gatsby wanted Daisy to see him until he died, but she moved immediately after his death, as if nothing happened, she was still so naive and happy, but let her She felt terrifyingly cold. Gatsby is dead, and his funeral is only Nick and his old father. His dream will not come true after all.
Character analysis of Daisy:
Looking at the front, she really feels that she is innocent and cute, and the flirty and vanity at the back is also very reasonable. Until the end, she will feel that she is cold and selfish to scary.
Looking back on the plot before the movie, I found that she is indeed such a person. She is not really naive, but naivety can protect her, make her happy and unhappy. After her daughter was born, when her husband was not by her side, and she was suffering from postpartum pain and loneliness alone, she said: "Daughter is also very good, to be a beautiful little fool." This is what she thinks: women, think of her like this. A woman in the family can be happy to be a beautiful little fool, so that she can gain the love of people around her, and she will not be hurt by her husband's derailment. She only needs to enjoy the happy life brought about by money.
She is indeed a very realistic person, and will not give up a good life for love, so she only wants Gatsby to be her lover, and does not want to divorce Gatsby and expose Gatsby’s business in Tom. After that, it is even more impossible. Indeed, when she matched Nicole and Jordan earlier, when Nick told Daisy that he was not rich, she said to Nick: "Then it's only fun." The frankness is scary, yes, she thinks so. Yes, if you don’t have money, you can only have fun. Getting married is impossible. Gatsby is such a toy to her, it just makes her boring life and empty spiritual world a little turbulent, and brings her a happy toy. She and her husband are the same kind of people. His husband's lover wanted him to divorce, so he slapped the lover. This lover is a toy for him, he can play but he won't be a wife. They all want to be happy, Daisy and Tom are really a natural pair.
My thoughts on Gatsby:
Does Gatsby really love Daisy? What does Daisy mean to him?
I think he is in love. This love is not pure but sincere. There are many things in his love, and he said, "Her voice is full of money." People often say that Daisy symbolizes the American dream. Perhaps for Gatsby, Daisy symbolizes all the beauty of American high society. He accepts Daisy accepts her vanity and accepts the drunken fans of high society.
Daisy is a dream, Gatsby's first love when she was young, a pure and beautiful rich girl; Daisy is a dream, Gatsby's yearning, Gatsby's motivation for upward mobility. For Daisy, he worked hard to start a business, bought a house opposite Daisy's house, prepared a lot of clothes for Daisy, and often held banquets just to wait for Daisy's arrival. He knows Daisy's vanity. He wants to attract her with money and keep her with affection. However, the dream will eventually wake up. Gatsby is just a lover to Daisy. She has her own husband, her own children, and her own family. Gatsby will never realize his dream. Gatsby is incompatible with this group of them, as Nick said, "They are not as good as you together."
