Visual feast as expected

When I first saw the preview and after I actually watched it, I felt that the picture was completely in line with the imagination when I read the book. Coincidentally, it was basically the same as what I thought. But Leonardo didn't conquer me. He didn't show Gatsby's inner pride, restraint, and passion. Instead, he always made me think he was a loser. Daisy did not exude elegance and fragrance from the inside out as she imagined, even if she was covered in the smell of money, she was charming. Because that has to be the case for these stories to exist.
The movie restores the novel to a large extent, except that it does not point out what Gatsby thinks of Daisy after contacting her. With a confused look, the happiness in front of him seemed so unreal, Gatsby couldn't help but wonder. It's been almost five years, and I know that the imaginary Daisy is no longer Daisy herself. This illusion is constantly vivid and perfect through his imagination, surpassing It surpassed everything and surpassed Daisy. He threw himself into it with a passion for creation, constantly beautifying and perfecting it. In fact, no amount of passion and innocence can match the longing soul.” In fact, Gatsby also understood at the end that he could not fail to understand that Daisy was no longer the original Daisy. But these lines and plot directors cut them off and could only rely on Leonardo's acting skills to express them. It is conceivable that every time I see Leonardo, I can't help but burst into laughter, there is nothing I can do.
In fact, on the other hand, it restores the novel, but apart from the original monologues, it does not express anything more profound.
But as far as my own movie-watching experience is concerned, the visual feast presented in front of me also continued to establish the status of the novel "The Great Gatsby" in my mind.

    The original work of The Great Gatsby is so good, how can you make a good movie, the director still continued the panoramic stage setting like the Moulin Rouge, some of the scenes that are too gorgeous indeed make people feel that they are out of the main story. , But some scenes of Meilun Meilun hit the original feel. When the last narration finished reading the end of my favorite novel, my brother was also moved by myself...

The Great Gatsby quotes

  • Nick Carraway: You can't repeat the past.

    Jay Gatsby: Can't repeat the past?

    Nick Carraway: No...

    Jay Gatsby: Why, of course you can... of course you can.

  • [last lines]

    Nick Carraway: Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
