If Hitchcock or Billy Wilder were to direct, I think the first half of the scene would be cut to the ground, and we would see a black mystery film. Of course, as a director who faced Gatsby's dinner party, he couldn't help but almost make it into a musical. It's hard for him to give up the opportunity to perform. The first half, aside from a few driving scenes, was lackluster to me. The first half can only be summed up in this way: it is another wonderful experience of a poor writer. Chinese and foreign writers since ancient times have certain strong characteristics. They all yearn to enter their own works, and then experience the romantic experience and see through the world. This way of handjob is too much. Nick here is a stark example, he likes to write, but gave up because of tenses. But when you enter the flowers of the hot men and women, if you say that you have no artistic temperament, no one will care about you. Nick is a near-perfect man (whom the audience thinks is Gatsby for most of the story), and he treats money like shit, as evidenced by his refusal to help Gatsby. He'd rather be morally unethical for true love, as can be seen from his connection for Daisy and Gatsby's tryst. He was righteous again, and when everyone left Gatsby, he was alone with him.
Bootlegging in one era was no different from what Al Capone did. In which era the author really couldn't find any other way to get rich overnight, but for fear that these unclean things would affect Gatsby's glorious and pure image, so he took a very indirect method. It's far from the "stuck", and I don't want to get too close to Howard Hughes, because Gatsby is a loyal and loyal person, and there is only one lover in the world who catches his eye. This too idealized character is really unconvincing. The audience simply cannot accept such a character. Any exploration to find his inner world from the character itself is futile. It can only be imagined that the author symbolizes an idealized American dream in race. The result of being stifled under the class system can be seen in Gatsby's poor family from the West, which represents the most primitive origin of the common white people in the United States. He fantasized about getting on with the upper class and succeeding in life, but the class abandoned him, which heralded a split with the European suzerainty. Then came the war, representing World War I, in which Gatsby was given the opportunity to study at Oxford, thereby stepping into the upper class. Historically, the United States began its new world empire after World War I. The United States has entered an era of rapid industrial development, leaving other countries far behind, and all kinds of wonderful inventions and popular elements have attracted people all over the world, just like Gatsby's evening party. In contrast, the head of the Buchanan family would only go private with the owner of the car repair shop. And when Gatsby thought that this extremely materialistic behavior could save his former love, it always failed. This alludes to the fact that the foundation of the American nation has drifted away in the face of money and selfish desires, which can be found in the last narration of the film.
Why is Gatsby Nick? Because Gatsby is Nick's idealization, Nick's dream. But when his dream was shattered, he burst into the biggest emotion in the whole film. He prayed to the servants of the Buchanan family. He roared at the world, and his other half was dead.
