memories always push us into the past, but forget how difficult it is to look back, but it is always better to have than to remember.
I watch a lot of movies, but there are very few movies. After watching it, people must write something to express and express their inner emotions. "The Great Gatsby" becomes one of them.
The disillusionment of the American Dream reminds me of the current prevalence of the Chinese Dream, which is also an era of materialistic desires. The worship of money is far more than the expectation of love. Although there may be a little space in everyone's heart, there is still hope for such innocence, but the reality of society ruthlessly beats our ideals, so that we dare not be steadfast to any past. something that expresses affirmation and confidence.
Gatsby is undoubtedly amazing. He seized the opportunity and went from a poor farm boy in the western United States to a famous upstart on Long Island, New York. , but in the end he fell into the whirlpool of the reality of love. The hope in his heart for the initial hope, the unshakable pursuit of the faith in the future life, and the persistent faith in love are not just his remarkable portrayal!
In fact, five years later, Gatsby's love for Daisy can no longer be said to be his love for Daisy, but more of his yearning and firmness for that pure faith. Daisy is right, Gatsby wants Daisy's love, and he asks for too much. The pleasure of instant food is what Daisy can give Gatsby at this stage. Tsby, however, with a pure heart and an unsullied posture, held up that love and waited for this Daisy to respond in the same way. Obviously, he was naive. In addition to the continuous advancement of science and technology, what the times have endowed people is the disintegration of emotional morality. (Sorry I have risen to a moral attitude, but the reality, let me not be too harsh on these two words). Money, directing people's joy and material desires, is in real life.
Few people reflect on how much material desire can influence people's emotions? People can't help but ask, Gatsby is already rich, why is Daisy still reluctant to go with him? Because their belief in love is completely different. When Gatsby decided to love Daisy unswervingly, he sighed to the sky. This was a sacred and solemn confession in his heart. From then on, his In love, there is only Daisy. This love cannot be denigrated, this love is selfish and narrow, he does not want to share it with others, even if the years have passed, he hopes that Daisy can erase it. Just loving him is still as first seen, but not everything in life is as first seen, in the blink of an eye, someone will definitely be waiting for her at the corner. Gatsby ignored it. What he can give Daisy now is not what Daisy desires at this stage.
If Gatsby had such a situation five years ago, maybe Daisy would have left with him long ago, or even if there was no such situation, maybe when the opportunity came, Daisy would still have gone with him, because of her background, status, money In other words, young Daisy doesn't put these things on her body. Love is always so desperate when she is young. But now, Daisy's desire is gradually changing with time. Her love is rich and colorful. She is constantly enjoying and giving love. Therefore, she is destined to be unable to do it. Like Gatsby, she admits that she has not loved Tom in five years. Her love is full of free factors. Her love is free. . She enjoys it and never tires of it. The reappearance of Gatsby is just the most beautiful encounter in her perhaps ordinary life to the past. Gatsby thought fondly that Daisy still loves him as he did five years ago. Time is really a killing knife, and what is whizzing away is the disillusionment of personnel and the change of right and wrong. As the narrator Nick said, he had already smelled the unique smell of money from his cousin's mouth, and heard another voice, which Gatsby could not give.
Daisy's transformation, Gatsby could not have been unaware. He was too stubborn after all, but he didn't want to think about Daisy in which direction. He judged the love given by the other party too much. He just believed it again and again. Daisy's flashy appearance always has a heart that loves him unchanged. Just like him, such overconfidence is a precursor to his destined disillusionment and tragedy. They will not walk hand in hand after all, this is naturally a tragic ending, but if this is not a tragedy, I can't imagine that Gatsby will feel happy when Daisy lives in that house after being with Gatsby. ? Do you feel like a beacon shining with green light, illuminating your heart?
On second thought, Gatsby loved Daisy so deeply, did he really love Daisy? Or put the ideals and beliefs that he imagined in his heart on Daisy's body. He forgot the most authentic point. Daisy lives in the present, while Gatsby lives in the past. and future. The green light that Gatsby thought was not at all the light that he had guided by Daisy, but the endless imagining of the future years, the endless memories of the past years, he lived in the past and also in the future, but , Gatsby has no present, and ignores the value of the present.
If you don't explain it, it's called calm. Those who are not persistent are called seeing through. Life is imperfect.
Pure, simple, sincere love, we all yearn for. And Gatsby's misunderstanding is that he took it all and begged for its perfection. We are always evaluating Gatsby, expecting ourselves to have Gatsby's majestic spirit, unshakable confidence in ideals and beliefs. But we are not Gatsby after all, and Gatsby is not any of us. He is innocent, romantic and pure like a child. He hates the mud, but seeks opportunities from the mud. When he stood on the trestle and looked at the green light on the other side, I understood that he walked too fast and looked too far. , he was doomed to be alone.
However, looking at Daisy on the other hand, many people dislike her, hate what she has done, and feel that she is indifferent and shameful. But at the end of the day, we're all Daisy, we just don't want to admit it, but we are. We also have the same expectation of pursuing a glorious and rich life like Daisy. This is human nature. We also have opportunistic ideas. We are also eager to take shortcuts, follow unspoken rules, get rich overnight, and enjoy the joy brought by material desires. We will also do anything to achieve our goals. We hate Daisy because we don't have the opportunity to have Daisy, and when we ask ourselves, if we had the opportunity to choose Daisy, what would we choose?
Gatsby's departure is a blessing. He no longer tests the cruel response of this era to him. He originally did not belong to this era, but he brought us his beliefs and let us walk in the same era. When the rhythm is on, no longer sleepy, no longer empty, no longer confused, no longer overwhelmed. People, should always live for some ideals. Although, in the tide of the times, that ideal will be broken, torn, and hit, but you can always find something to make up for it, and it will remain as firm as it is. The upright sail, looking at the beam of light in the distance, move forward!
