"The Great Gatsby" describes the life of Gatsby, a giant on Long Island in New York, United States, showing the empty, hedonic, and contradictory spirit and thought of Americans in the 1920s in the United States in singing and dancing.
As a famous novelist in American history, Fitzgerald has praised his works a lot in later generations. Unfortunately, when Fitzgerald was alive, he experienced many ups and downs, and he suffered from ups and downs. He finally passed away early due to a heart attack in 1940. His most famous work is this "The Great Gatsby".
In 2008, a student from the Faculty of Arts of Normal University found the film version of this work, which is the film adapted from 1974. Unfortunately, there are only English subtitles and no translated Chinese version can be found on the Internet, so he asked me to translate it. . At that time, out of my love for this work, I compared the original work and translated these more than 2,000 lines. The film retains a large amount of the original text in the original, but the original uses a narrative approach, which is different from the film's narrative. The atmosphere of the whole movie is rendered more in place. The descriptions of the Jiuchi Roulin and Yinggeyan Dance truly restore the empty and impetuous social reality of the 1920s. The performances of the several protagonists in the film are also remarkable. I must have seen "The Deception" The audience of "Cheat" will certainly not be unfamiliar with Robert Redford, the actor who played Gatsby, and the heroine Mia Farrow also appeared in "Tragedy on the Nile."
As a remake of the original work, "The Great Gatsby" is quite satisfactory, but it is the only existing remake of the original that is worthy of comparison. Although the script adaptation comes from the famous director and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola, the film still has a lot of views on the adaptation, which is not small from the original. Many details are still different from the American Ukiyo-e in the 1920s described in the original work, and several plot changes have also changed the character of the protagonist. But overall, it is still a successful adaptation of the film, which also won two Oscars at the time. However, we still have to talk about the far-reaching influence of the original work. This novella enjoys a high reputation in the United States and ranks second among the top 100 English works of the 20th century "Modern Library" in the United States. By 1980, more than 8 million copies were published. The disillusionment of the American Dream presented in the article is deeply ironic. Both Daisy and Tom in the film are creators who have not pursued the American dream. They have no responsibility, no sympathy, and eventually lead to Gatsby's death. Compared with Gatsby, the car repairing couple Wilson and Mortell in the play are living in the bottom society, and they have no strength to resist. Deeply analyzing the images of Tom and Daisy, we will find their vain and emptiness, unfeeling and selfish under the cover of their extravagance.
The actors in the movie really suffered. When shooting this movie under the hot summer and strong lights, the actors also wore suits, all of them sweating profusely. Old movies require a little bit of patience. Although the two-hour narration is soothing, there is no redundancy. If you take a closer look, you still have a special taste.
