There is a hazy light in the photography of this film. Daisy, played by Mia, often flashes the starlight of Japanese girl animation, and all the actors often have sweat on their faces. The novel describes how hot summer is somehow good, people sweating like rain at Gatsby's party, and finally because Daisy shouts hot, a group of talented people drove to New York City and even caused a car accident later.
Karen Black, who plays Daisy’s husband’s mistress, has a face that will never be forgotten. She first saw her as a transgender in the film adaptation of Robert Altman’s stage play Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean in the early 1980s. Later, I learned that he also played the classic Nashville with many characters in Altman. It's hard to imagine that she was a favorite of many directors in the 1970s, starring in Hitchcock's last film. Maybe she has done something else in the music scene besides acting. In this film, there is an orange-brown dress worn by her sister’s crazy dance in New York. It is very similar to Prada’s first two seasons of winter clothes. It also has furry details. People are looking forward to seeing the new version that will be released next year. Prada is said to be also Generously borrow clothing inspiration.
Speaking of Jazz Age fashion, there are still people who want to go retro. Every summer, a Jazz Age lawn party is held on Governors Island, a small island near Manhattan. They wear low-waist flash skirts, modern flappers with short hair and red lips, and hemp. The male companions in suits participated in the grand event and learned to dance the Charleston dance at the beginning of the last century. This version of the film took a lot of effort to reproduce the year, and it is almost 40 years away from today!
Now that the retro style is better than the past, I don't know how the new version will be more nostalgic.
The hippie style of the 1920s and 1960s and later, almost immortal, has long since become a classic. In the memoirs published every year, the nostalgic articles of Vogue magazine, and the old clothes shop, it becomes available at any time. Collective experience.
However, people nowadays do not understand the status of marriage in a woman's life before, that is, the human life question of future choice, nor can they understand the concept of family status. The popular drama audiences of Qiong Yao drama always think that the concept of family status will always be broken, and they will die.
However, in the orderly pre-modern society, from the heroine of Austin in the eighteenth century to the seemingly free new woman Daisy, the preciousness of many capitalist social arts lies in the struggles of people in the rigorous class society. For example, in the early twentieth century. A novel by an American writer Edith Warton. Now it seems that with small eyebrows and small eyes, Bourgeois' marriage and love themes are also exploring the future and limitations of human beings. The difficulty of crossing the social class is always the most inconceivable in marriage and love. Reality and history have never been as naive as the declarations of the October Revolution or the May Fourth Movement.
The American films of the 1970s were really fascinating. Everyone was groping slowly and eager to restore the glory of Hollywood before the war, and witnessed the rise of many new directors. This Gatsby has these two qualities. Probably because the screenwriter is Coppola.
Nick, the silent narrator in the novel, is involved in almost all the plots, which is equivalent to an omniscient perspective, but it is written that the garage owner Wilson and his wife are from the point of view of the accident witnesses, and the film is omniscient, but there is no problem anyway. The rhythm cut is almost loyal to the original, and the cut of the original is very much like a first-class movie, and there is no challenge for the adaptation.
Infatuated people are hard to please in the eyes of ordinary sophisticated audiences. Everyone knows that they are unique in reality. They are easy to slip into the muddy self-compassion in works of art. Fitzgerald wrote Gatsby with a sense of distance. Tolerant and naive. But in fact, only the narrator Nick in the novel thinks he is rare, and the others, as well as his beloved Daisy, do not understand his benefits.
The most famous Gatsby fan, on the contrary, is Yongze who never indulges in emotions in "Norwegian Forest".
