A story about dreams meeting reality

This movie makes me so sad!
I couldn't watch it until the end, and I wanted to leave the cinema.
How could such an optimistic Gatsby encounter such a tragedy.

Some people say that the heroine is just cowardly.
No, she is not cowardly.
From the beginning, all she had for Gatsby was passion and excitement.
If you have to say that there is love, it is also a kind of hazy.
As for her still hanging out with Gatsby in her marriage in the later period, it was more of a dissatisfaction with her husband's derailment and a yearning for luxury.

I'm wondering why this movie has been adapted so many times.
Yes, in any era, we are running against our dreams.
How can there be a person like Gatsby in today's society?
I often feel sad that Gatsby has what anyone of any age can dream of.
However, it's just a dream, you and I may compromise with reality.

Tragedy tells us: like things come together.
It is actually fate for the heroine to marry a man like Tom, because they are the same kind of people.
Selfish indifference, nothing but the shell of money.

As for Gatsby, he was just a man with a dream, and there was a green light shining on him throughout his short life.
His whole life was glorious.

I keep telling myself to be a loving person.
If you have love in your heart, you can use love to illuminate the world.

    Gorgeous background, but the rest is empty

    Even the visual effects have really become drunk fans, life is as short as fireworks, Baz Luchman’s personal stylized gorgeous audio-visual language has completely turned the original work into a variety of simple symbols, and in the end it seems that only what is left on the surface is The disillusionment of pure love. The novel is just a reference text. The director copied the [Moulin Rouge] set from form, structure to aesthetics again, but it is suitable for people who do not like to read. ★★★

The Great Gatsby quotes

  • Nick Carraway: I expected him to be...

    Jordan Baker: Old and fat?

    Nick Carraway: Yes. Young men just don't drift coolly out of nowhere and buy a palace on Long Island.

  • Tom Buchanan: Daisy, can't you see who this guy is, with his house and his parties and his fancy clothes? He is just a front for Wolfsheim, a gangster, to get his claws into respectable folk like Walter Chase.

    Jay Gatsby: The only respectable thing about you, old sport, is your money. Your money, that's it. Now I've just as much as you. That means we're equal.

    Tom Buchanan: Oh, no. No. We're different. I am. They are.

    [points to Daisy]

    Tom Buchanan: She is. We're all different from you. You see, we were born different. It's in our blood. And nothing that you do or say or steal... or dream up can ever change that. A girl like Daisy...

    Jay Gatsby: [Knocks contents off bar-top & grabs Tom with a raised fist] You shut up! Shut up! You shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

    Nick Carraway: [Voice-over] Gatsby looked, in that moment, as if he had... killed a man.
