The failure of adapting the script

The adaptation of the novel has compressed too many original works, and the crush of the heart of a child after the war, the theme is very difficult to interpret from the background. The persuasive power that had to be concentrated into emotional entanglements was weak. Robert Rayford was too perfect and Daisy's husband was too far away, and couldn't pull out any nervous tension. Why didn't you choose the actor firmly? Became the key to poor adaptation. The diamond dog chain dog biscuit reference is too wretched and terrifying, and it makes the theme out of focus. It is just a game for a neurotic woman. What a pity!



It takes two hours to adapt a novel, and the materials and tailoring need to be carefully designed. The authentically restored atmosphere of the era costume music can almost be used as a reference for American history. It's a pity that the importance is not well grasped. For example, the unnecessary time when Nick and Jia meet for the first time is spent too much, and many parts of the bridge do not know the purpose? The result of collage is messy and worthless, far away from the novel, Hollywood should be retaken.

After sacrificing everything for the country and participating in the war, I found that the entire society has changed, with collapsed value, overwhelming luxury, indulgence, and grabbing resources. I don’t know the meaning of working for the country and the nation in the first place. It's all the most profound and great reflections. As long as you have the ability to adapt the essence of "After Killing a Mockingbird" and ranked second in America's most beloved novel, "The Biography of a Tycoon" will surely become America's greatest movie. one.


Looking at it 30 years later, Robert Reif, who had just debuted, had perfect conditions and temperament as the leading actor. The actors were all excellent, and the singularity was the failure of adapting the script. At the level of today's "Cold Mountain", the remake will be handed down to the world.

Perhaps no one expected that the innate charm of the Great Wall on Robert Refort’s big screen would shatter the logical structure of the script, and the only success was the emergence of a superstar.

    If the new version can't understand Daisy's temperament, then this one can help understand the heroine. Obviously the old version is much deeper than the new version. The portrayal of Gatsby also fits the adjective great. Bazluhmann is ruining the classics. . Nick is the Charlie in the newsroom!

    The original book is not well adapted, so neither of the two editions looks very exciting; but in this edition, the actors’ performances are praised. The old Gatsby and the dog seller are already impressive. It can also be said that the director gave the actors to play. Enough space; the costumes are completely faithful to the original age; in contrast, the latest edition is more like a fancy hodgepodge of out-of-focus and lack of focus.

The Great Gatsby quotes

  • Nick Carraway: I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it... He did not know that it was already behind him.

  • Daisy Buchanan: I love the way you love me.
