First set a general tone, this film is indeed wrong in three views, impacting people's view of love, and the explanation about Gatsby's mother's life experience is also unexpected, although it can be self-justified and logical to explain Gatsby's confusion and incompatible with the upper class society , but this reason is too shocking. However, despite this, I fell in love with the chattering Gatsby in the film, his courage, his confusion, his melancholy, his tolerance and generosity, and his awakening.
To describe the charm of this film from three points, first of all, I am most concerned about Gatsby's self-discovery road, because it is similar to my own experience in the low period, so I have a great sense of resonance, and it is very similar to the mainstream. His value system is inconsistent, just like Gatsby knows he is good at gambling and likes to play music in taverns, but these seem to his parents to be unrefined and incompatible with the road to becoming an elite, so he Pained and confused, he wanted to resist, but he could only walk down the street in depression, playing "everything happens to me" sadly, and he needed an opportunity to transform.
Then there is the love between Gatsby and Ashley. From the beginning of the movie, I discovered the asymmetry of love. I always felt that Gatsby cared and arranged for her meticulously, and he felt the best for her. Things, but it's not what she wants the most. Why do you have to give me buns when I want steamed buns. Several times in the movie, she also wanted to tell Gatsby her thoughts, but Gatsby and her class or social experience were different, so her behavior was not understood by Gatsby, and she herself could not understand Gatsby. The asymmetry between Tsby's current state and plans for the future laid the fuse for the later woman's derailment. Therefore, love is mutual understanding and mutual respect, and equal liking. This kind of loyalty to appearance will not go long.
In the end, the most important thing is the role of Qian. This woman is full of courage, does not care about external evaluation, has a clear purpose, and mainly understands Gatsby. Her conversation with him is the real nonsense, but I see the spark of love in it, and she is the opportunity for Gatsby, she can show Gatsby the way to achieve economic independence, natural thinking Just be independent, don’t be restricted by the external evaluation system, people live their whole lives for themselves, you can be a gambler or a resident pianist in a small bar, there are no restrictions. There is no thunder and fire, only the collision of words and the tacit understanding of getting to each other's point of mutual understanding. After you have walked 99 steps, I will go to the last step. Maybe this is the most beautiful appearance of love.
The rainy season in New York is really charming, warm and sweet, and the rain hits the body and cleans the soul.
This film is like watching our own lives, calm but full of laughter and pain and melancholy.
Always remember with a smile after watching it.
