My favorite of this edition is when Gatsby talked about the schedule written by his son, he was a little moved.
One: Practice your speaking skills
Two: Research useful inventions
Three: save money
Four: Quit smoking
Five: Filial piety to parents
Gatsby should represent a broadly successful American:
Gain great wealth through your own efforts.
Born in poverty, he joined the army and served the country. Although he was a bit unscrupulous, he finally became rich.
In love with your first love, are you willing to give everything for her?
And Daisy and her husband were born with great wealth, corrupt and weak, and portrayed as hypocritical, but they were smart and bright and charming.
The mechanic and his wife are representatives of vulgar poverty, portrayed as an incompetent man and a woman with low morals and vanity, but in reality they are the ones who suffer the most.
The male protagonist Nick is a retired soldier. From the perspective of a bystander, the post-war upstarts vainly want to be on an equal footing with old money, but they are swayed by their established aesthetics, while those with a strong sense of morality have been poor and marginalized by society until they use extreme This is the post-war America that has collapsed and rebuilt its values.
What is vaguely glorified in this film is the wealth obtained by individual efforts, no matter which channel is obtained, but the legend of the individual is indeed unforgettable.
The heart of all tragedies is the sacrifice, the sacrifice of others, or the sacrifice of faith, which seems especially beautiful.
The best time is when a person works hard and sacrifices for their dreams.
Even if the dream is just a dream.
