But that's about it.
The theme was wrong, and the elegy of an era turned into a tear-jerking "Do You Love Me or Him".
The story is wrong, and the shattered dream of the Knights of the West turns into an extramarital soap opera.
The characters were wrong, and the great Gatsby became a blind idiot.
In the original book, Gatsby is very discerning. He is very aware of what is right and wrong, and Daisy is no longer the Daisy he used to be. Then his decision is so moving, and what he does is so remarkable. What about in this movie? A rich man's version of Jack? At least I don't see anything great about Gatsby in this movie, maybe he's still great from a woman's perspective, because men who give themselves to love always make women look different.
In fact, this movie was broken from the beginning of the screenwriter. The screenwriter could not wait to use Callaway's perspective to copy all the original sentences that could be copied, but the copy was fragmented, and even the beginning of the classic was not copied.
The director also made the film worse, including the tendency for some of Callaway's clips looking out of a hotel window to fill the time with meaningless footage in order to read the book's sentences.
As a fan of the original book, what is unacceptable is not only the lack of details, such as his father should appear in front of the tomb, just like the owl face should appear at the funeral, but the inexplicable jazzy emotions behind these details. . The music part is not the point of being picky, after all, it just provides the feeling, and only a few people will go into it.
Maybe it's to cater to the market. After all, vigorous love stories are always easy to sell, but it's just that a story full of life circumstances is interpreted so superficially that it makes people feel sad. And the saddest thing is that the kind of person who despised in the original book tramples on other people's dreams and hides in money, isn't that what he did. In order to make money, I take out the unprecedented image in the minds of many readers and consume it, and then run away. Great irony!
After spending a lot of money and filming a big scene, I came to fool the fans. Is it to bully everyone that they haven't watched the Live show?
