2 The jazz age it shows, in Fitzgerald's words, is "an era of spending money", which is ten times more luxurious than all the imagination in his mind combined. The director has tried his best to create a romantic scene, dancing girl, Movie stars, Broadway playwrights, financial street celebrities, jewelry, dance moves, extremely extravagant.
3 In the first half of the movie, there is a section of "Rhapsody in Blue" created by George Gershwin in 1924. The climax of the party coincides with a toast of Leonardo and the gorgeous fireworks behind him.
4 Leonardo vividly restored Gatsby's determination, obsession and stupidity. In one of these scenes, in front of the fountain in Gatsby’s castle, Nick said "You can't repeat the past", Gatsby asked "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can! I'm going" to fix everything just the way it was before. She' ll see.", a trace of contradiction and great unwillingness flashed in his eyebrows, portraying Gatsby's waiting for five years and finally approaching it like the green light. After living and being close to Daisy, she was immersed in a situation of self-creation, denying the past, denying her own hardships and humbleness, and wanted to enter an impossible future with Daisy. But Leonardo can take the actor this time, right? Nonononono, this story is too dramatic, and the tension is too great. After Leonardo played such a subtle and dramatic film in "Bound Island", he was not nominated. The Academy Award is bound to not want to shape Leonardo. Become the second Robert De Niro or Jack Nicholson.
5 And Daisy, played by Carey Mulligan, is as exquisite and beautiful as a porcelain doll like Daisy in my mind. In my opinion, Daisy is a symbol, a symbol of beauty and weakness, and a symbol of money and lust. She is the owner of Gatsby’s emptied future, and also Gatsby’s dream abstracted in five years. Men please her, love her, please her, Gatsby attracts her with the most luxurious ball, and She is just a deified woman who has been overestimated by Gatsby for many years. According to many people, she is a humanoid "American Dream".
6 In the first half of the film, when Tom and the wife of the car repair shop owner had an affair in an apartment in New York, Nick said that this was the second time in his life that he drank too much, "It's better than Yale's party". Is this in Yale Black?
Then he looked out of the window in New York with drunken eyes. A different story was happening in each window of the apartment opposite. Personally think this is a tribute to Hitchcock's "Rear Window".
7 At the end, Gatsby was shot and killed and fell back into the pool. A shot was taken from the inside of the pool. I could see reporters taking pictures of Gatsby's body with cameras. I thought of "Sunset Boulevard" again. The scene of the death of the male protagonist was also in the swimming pool. It was also shot, and it was also a lot of reporters surrounding the pool to take pictures of the dead bodies. Maybe this is also a tribute.
8 After watching this movie, I felt that its pre-publicity and the tone of the entire publicity are absolutely in line with the temperament of the film. For example, the aesthetic element of the gorgeous golden stripes in the promotional posters representing drunken gold fans is in line with the layout of Gatsby’s home. , Even the patterns on Daisy's dress echoed each other.
9 I remember that the release date of "The Great Gatsby" was 12.25, 2012, which happened to be the same day as the release date of "Jiang Ge Freed". I hadn't arrived at the American Emperor at that time, and I was struggling for a long time about which one to watch at midnight. . Later, the release period of "The Great Gatsby" was postponed, and "Jiang Ge" did not watch the morning and evening shows. A long time ago, I read the original book in my second year of high school, and read it again last night. After waiting for this movie for more than a year or two years, I wore a dress with "Gatsby" on it to watch it, and when I went home, I was accosted.
I think of so much for the time being, if I can think of it, continue to add.
