don't remake it

One of the greatest works in the history of English literature, The Great Gatsby, could have been filmed like this. My favorite first sentence was castrated from the very beginning and then tragically altered. Would Fitzgerald be wrong? Will jump up from the grave and scold my mother, not to mention the depression of being forcibly plugged into a pair of 3D glasses, the only meaning of 3D is forced consumption. The director of "Moulin Rouge" is bold enough that he doesn't want to be in the literary and art circle at all. Perhaps, such vulgarity is prevalent in Hollywood. All the jewelry is carefully crafted by Tiffany, and Prada contracted the women's clothing, which is beautiful, but what's the matter, money can't pile up great works. An hour later, the director was still playing tricks, and I was still patient. A couple in the front row packed up and left the stage. The other audience, as always, burst into laughter in unknown places. No wonder the film was scolded by The Wall Street Journal: "The Great Gatsby, directed by Luhrmann, is a story with a stupid, loud and manic narrative that barely makes any sense." The costumes are meaningless, because the wearer is like a fashion puppet, unbranded with the spark of life." "Given such a lack of energy in the originality of the film, there is little point in attacking it for failing to convey the theme of the novel, much less the The emotional and social resonance of the original, hailed as a masterpiece of world literature. This horrific film even misrepresents Fitzgerald's artistic career. . There is always an "unshy romance and passionate superficiality" of understanding.

The screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby never made it. The original novel is so well known that it ranks second among the 100 best English novels of the 20th century selected by the American Modern Library, and was selected as a textbook for American high schools. Some people say that Gatsby is Fitzgerald himself. Hemingway, who introduced the Fitzgeralds in "The Feast of the Flow," thought it was Zelda's madness that destroyed the literary genius. "We have destroyed each other," Fitzgerald wrote in a later letter to Zelda.

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.
