After watching The Great Gatsby

1. The male lead
is superficial first -
Leonardo is really handsome! It's really irresistible to control an uncle like me~ and I like strong and slightly fat uncles, so my real wife fits my aesthetic~ Compared with the shape in "Titanic", "Gatsby" I don't know how many wins here...
2. Self-cultivation
Although I like the appearance of the male lead so much, I have always been unable to like the male lead, and I always feel that his self-cultivation is not enough.
The so-called self-cultivation is not something that can be formed by wearing a suit and tie to ask everyone to say hello, and training everywhere. The male protagonist makes me feel that there are too many places where the cultivation is not enough - the
party is so noisy, and all the three religions are included, and it is not something done by a cultivated person at all.
A custom-made car has to be so noisy. If you have money, what you want is your freedom, but why do you make such a loud noise to disturb others? Also racing with Tom to crush other people's fruit, so unqualified!
When you brought Daisy into the house, he said where did he bring it back from? This kind of thing is said by a servant who has never seen the world, right? Even if you really want Daisy to know how much effort he has put in, he should tell her through someone else's mouth.
In the play, when Tom exposed Gatsby, he said that he talked about "Dude", and even went to check his origin, but in fact Gatsby's origin was already reflected in various details.
And it is precisely this kind of person who is not well-educated and has a bad background the most taboo for others to expose his background, so it is normal and understandable for him to explode his temper, but it is impossible for an eldest lady like Daisy to understand that kind of feeling.
3. Do you love that person or your own fantasy?
When I saw Gatsby who was deeply in love, I thought of myself who was also deeply in love. The scene that resonated with me the most and was the saddest was when he excitedly took out that album, which collected all their memories, including Daisy's marriage as someone else's wife. 's report.
Is not a deep love often in exchange for such consequences? Can only be sad and sad to see all kinds of stories happen to the person in your heart and another person, and you can only be sad and sad in vain?
Occasionally, I wonder if I love that person or the person I imagined? Or just love your own fantasies and put your feelings on it?
At least Gatsby in the show is more in love with his own fantasy, right? Or the Daisy in his fantasy... Seeing that he died for her in the end, and she didn't even go to the funeral, it really felt worthless for him. However, it is said that Gatsby in the book is much more sober than in the show, I think, I would rather see a more cruel but also more real Gatsby, rather than the stupid love to death in the show.
4. Love and Freedom
When Gatsby met Daisy, he knew he was no longer free.
This feeling scares me.
I always feel that I have never met someone I like and like me in my life, but if I really sacrifice my freedom for love as in the film—even if it’s only part of my freedom—I’m not reconciled.
So, is it best not to have been in love in a lifetime?
