The movie begins with Nick's recollection, and the plot takes nearly thirty minutes before Nick meets the protagonist, Mr. Gatsby, at a luxurious banquet. In order to set off the atmosphere of the original Gatsby appearance, thousands of fireworks are used as the background in the film, reflecting Gatsby's brilliance. He smiled and raised the champagne glass in his hand. Nick's inner narration said: This kind of smile is an extremely rare smile, with a very reassuring feeling, maybe you can only meet four or five times in your life. For a moment this smile faces or seems to face the entire eternal world, and yet another moment it condenses on you, showing an irresistible preference for you. The extent to which he appears to understand you is precisely the extent to which you want to be understood. This scene is also the highlight of the whole show. Leonardo is no longer the handsome and handsome teenager in the Titanic, he is the mature and mysterious Gatsby.
Nick was moved by Gatsby, he invited his cousin Daisy to meet Gatsby at his house, in this scene Gatsby was as nervous and reckless as a young boy, he suppressed his feelings and became overwhelmed, he pretended to pass by Nick's house , but standing in the doorway soaked wet, it was really sad. It seems that in the past five years, everything he has experienced has become simple and so unimportant.
After Daisy and Tom left at the banquet, Gatsby told Nick the story he had with Daisy five years ago. Afterwards he said: "I know it's a huge mistake for someone like me to fall in love, I'm only 32 years old, if I could forget, if I could forget that I lost Daisy, I might be able to be a great person, but my Life, my life will be like this (he pointed to the sky, streak a shooting star.) and everything will go on. At this point in the story, the smart Gatsby has actually seen that Daisy is no longer the innocent girl from five years ago. The person in his memory has been piled up by his pursuit of the American dream into an illusory shadow, no longer Daisy. But for so long, how could he give up, he could only continue, and then there was a tragic end.
In the original book, there is a bridge in the back. Gatsby had lunch at Daisy's house and was going to spend the afternoon in the city. Daisy and Tom left to prepare, leaving only Nick and Gatsby in the restaurant. Gatsby said: Her voice is full of money. This sentence. It makes people feel that he has been disappointed with Daisy, or it is more clear that his dream was originally so broken, but he has loved and longed for too long, and he has no courage to give up, so he can only give it a go.
The ending of the story is so different from the original that I can't understand how great Gatsby is in this film. It should have something to do with his father not appearing. In Fitzgerald's original book, Gatsby's biological father appears at the end. A father's perspective on Gatsby's past is very touching. It makes people feel that Gatsby is really amazing.
The last sentence of the original book: So we rowed forward with all our strength, and the boat that went up against the current kept going backwards and entered the past.
Young And Beautiful by Lana Del Rey is a beautiful song that reminds me of the man standing on the dock looking at the green light on the other side.
