Thank you. I hate the movie it felt gross to watch and reading gatsby is truly the best way to experience the story.
This film doesn’t need to exist, in fact, I think it’s existence is bad 💀
Rant below.
The actors and actresses were good choices, but I think that Gatsby is just one of those books that looses its’s specialness when adapted to film. The mastery of Great Gatsby comes from Fitzgerald’s ability to paint for the viewer every scene, every subtlety, every little word packed with meaning, through his writing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the words are what make Gatsby such a special book. It’s written in a clever way to make you pick up on things that won’t be explicitly stated or shown. It’s one of those stories that you have to pause and think about, and you can’t do that with a film. Not only that, but I don’t think the film was serious enoooough. It just seemed like it had two modes: PARTY HARD RAAH and awww sad gatsby 🥺 sad daisy NOT SAD ENOUGH, not MEANINGFUL enough. NO AMOUNT OF LANA DEL REY CAN SAVE THIS POORLY SET UP ROMANCE! We need Nick’s descriptions, the inner thoughts, the wonderful passage about Gatsby and Daisy’s first kiss five years ago in order to CARE about and understand the intriguing reasons behind their relationship.
I hate how Nick’s character was handled. Nick is apathetic and objectively not a good narrator, but he’s still very human. I was very impressed by Fitzgerald’s ability to balance awful qualities with real depictions of people. I don’t get that from the movie, Nick feels like a brick just sitting there 70% of the time. The only time the movie did something interesting with him was at the end. Also, I hate those sanatorium cutaways, what a way to ruin the moment.
The party scenes were pretty good, but the one in Myrtle’s apartment was uh… just not satisfying when compared to the book. Also, there was no Mr. McKee and Nick scene? THOSE COWARDS!
I actually really liked Tom’s actor and portrayal, I think he did the best job.
Uhhhhh, final thoughts, they tried to make up for the lack of deep writing with pure extravagance and forced glamour. No good, wouldn’t recommend.
anyhow, thats just my opinion :)
