Gatsby without disillusionment is not a good Gatsby.

There is not much to say, I can only say that this movie missed the most beautiful part of the original work.

"...Gatsby himself didn't believe it to if it came (the phone call from Daisy). If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass. A new world, material without being real, where poor ghost , breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about...... "A

thousand readers have a thousand Hamlet, and naturally there are a thousand Gatsby . I don't know what the author intended, but in my opinion, at the end of the story, Gatsby no longer loved Daisy. Or, long ago, he knew that the girl he loved was nothing more than a materialistic, naive and romantic woman.

"Her voice is full of money." In Chapter 7, Gatsby said just that. Such a neat sentence outlined Daisy's image in his heart. Readers who read the book carefully can find that in the first few chapters of the article, whenever Daisy appears, the author will use one word to describe her, or her belongings, that is "white". Pure white, snow white, white-white has a strong symbolic meaning: it is clear and flawless, and it is so easy to be stained and affected. This is Daisy. With all due respect, she is just an ordinary beautiful woman in my mind. Daisy loves material things, and she loves it straight and innocent, perhaps she didn't even realize it.

If he doesn't love Daisy anymore, what is he defending hard in the end?

It's an ethereal love. Not Daisy, but love itself.

Love is fireworks, and Gatsby is the fool who holds the soot and does not let go after the fireworks bloom.

The most beautiful thing in this book is disillusionment.

Gatsby knew what kind of woman Daisy was, but at the beginning he couldn't let go of her, but when the story slowly developed, when he forced Daisy to admit that she had never loved Tom, I realized him It is not Daisy that is attached to, but love. At the end of the story, since he already knew who Daisy was, he naturally wouldn't expect too much.

He was soberly disillusioned and soberly died. This is the Gatsby in my heart.


Instead of hearing the phone ringing in the movie, it seemed like spring was coming. In the end, Nima was shot to death with a smile with a trace of reluctance.

And the director also arranged for Nick to call him. He didn't receive it (because he was shot to death), but he thought it was Daisy. He thought Daisy called him.

There is no disillusionment! Gatsby who is not disillusioned is not a good Gatsby, the soul is pale!

    1. The film has a slightly fast pace, and those who haven't read the original may not be able to understand how it develops so fast. 2. The heroine is of course Bitch, but everything the hero does is wishful thinking. 3. The heroine said that elopement was just talking casually. 4. It seems that everyone is equal in this world, but class is always present. The goddess is not like a jewellery that can't choose her own master, but can still be owned by the poor, unlike that.

The Great Gatsby quotes

  • Nick Carraway: Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the morals were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.

  • Daisy Buchanan: Open another window.

    Nick Carraway: There aren't any more.

    Daisy Buchanan: Then telephone for an axe.
