Of course, about the beauty and dazzling of "dreams", his writing is indeed very charming (see every "public party" that Gatsby does in the original novel). But when it comes to disillusionment, his writing is even more bloody and decadent to the point of thrilling. (Almost every Fitzgerald's work has people who committed suicide or were killed).
Happily, the film performed well in both the pros and cons.
I won’t say much about “dreams” (as mentioned above, you can refer to every “public party” that Gatsby does as depicted in the movie).
Let’s focus on "Shattered". In fact, the actor who impressed me the most in the film was Willis, played by Scott Wilson, who was the owner of the car repair shop in the original novel who was robbed of his wife at the beginning and died at the end ( Finally, killed Gatsby and then committed suicide).
The portrayal of him in the film can be regarded as rich and colorful (only a profile description of what happened to him in the original novel). You know, he also has his "American dream." He is actually a more tragic figure than Gatsby. Gatsby at least partially realized his "American dream" before he was shot, and Willis from birth to It was just a person who died of nothing.
Finally, I want to talk about the "big eyes" in the film (that is, the huge billboard erected by the whimsical ophthalmologist in the original novel). Full of gloomy, evil temperament. Looking down at all living beings like a devil, as if seeing through the hearts of all the viewers.
