The marriage of Tom (Bruce Dern) and Daisy (Mia Farrow) is not happy because Tom is a playboy and often goes out to fool around. Tom often attends dance parties with Daisy's uncle Nick, who is next to them, and has fun. Gatsby, Nick's neighbor, is a mysterious rich man. He often invites Nick to banquets, and the two quickly became acquainted. After getting acquainted, Gatsby (Robert Redford) invites Nick to bring his niece Daisy to his home as a guest. At this point, Daisy recognized Gatsby. It turns out that Gatsby was Daisy's lover 5 years ago. It was just because Gatsby was just a poor boy who went abroad to fight in order to change his destiny. It was at this time that Daisy married Tom. The two quickly rekindled their old relationship.
At one banquet, Daisy quarreled with Tom again. After drinking, she drove home with Gatsby and killed Tom's mistress. For his former lover, Gatsby decided to come forward.

    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

  • Jordan Baker: [about Gatsby] He's an Oxford man.

    Tom Buchanan: Like hell he is, he wears a goddamn pink suit!

  • Nick Carraway: There was music from my neighbor's house through those summer nights. In his enchanted gardens, men and girls came and went like moths, among the whispering and the champagne and the stars. I believe that few people were actually invited to these parties. They just went. They got into automobiles that bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Come for the party with a simplicity of heart that was it's own ticket of admission.
