It's not Gatsby, he's not Gatsby.

I've been waiting for an important character in the original, Gatsby's father, to come on and see how Baz Luhrmann uses this character to turn the film's prosperity into ashes. Helplessly waited until the end, this character did not appear, and ended with the reading of Nick's novel.

In fact, this scene is nothing more than a failure to guide the audience to the understanding that Fitzgerald is Nick rather than Gatsby, which undoubtedly brings the film to a new level.

However, it is not admirable to say that the green light on the opposite bank at the end reflects the isolated back of Xiao Lizi, the magnificent water is like his stage, and the green chasing light haunts his long life.

Such a setting is also worthy of the Baz who has photographed the Moulin Rouge. There is beauty, and the successful music adaptation in Moulin Rouge has become another major failure in TGG. Will.i.am and Fergie are really disgusting, except for the two songs of Lana Del Rey and Machine Sister. They are unable to accept it, and the sense of disobedience is overwhelming.

The most successful is Young and Beautiful, the song and thundering vocals in that section are a perfect match for Carey Mulligan's eyes.

And when it comes to the dispute, Xiao Lizi seems to have returned to the passion and persistence in Romeo and Juliet. So I saw the music form in the Moulin Rouge, the glitz in the hero of the dance country, the makeup in Australia's troubled times, the screenwriting style of Romeo and Juliet, but I didn't see Fitzgerald in the "final in the original".

I think the final result is a large number of direct quotations from the original text as a reading. Sora creates luxury that cannot be directly presented visually in the novel, in exchange for a sense of emptiness with high eyes and low hands.

Finally, let's talk about the actor Xiao Lizi. I think the character of an Australian director is not in line with the struggle and forbearance of American Gatsby's character. Little plum is quite satisfactory, performing an Australian Gatsby belonging to Baz Luhrmann.

The original sound released as the Jazz Recording version alone was used sparingly as if it was reluctant to write in the era of films that should have been appropriate. The Chinese say that you can send and receive freely, which is what this film lacks. As for adaptability, how many successful adaptations of classic novels can be made in the length of a movie?

The only thing that left an impression was probably the eyes in the gray area.
