Gatsby is nothing.

The Great Gatsby is a film with Moby Dick and Huckleberry Finn called Absalom, Absalom! It is a typical work known as the "great American novel"! Grapes of Wrath tied.

Maybe it's because it's too difficult to shoot.

The Great Gatsby (1974)

People always say that movies have nothing to do with the original, but when the original is The Great Gatsby, no audience will think that the movies they watch have nothing to do with F Scott Fitzgerald.

The Great Gatsby is worthy of the title of "Great American Novel" because of its distinctive American characteristics.

It describes the vigorous and wild America in the 1920s, and in turn, people named that jazz age "Gatsby". It was an era when everyone was crazy. With jazz, people ignored prohibition and drank heavily. Everyone believes in the American dream of starting from scratch, and countless brand-new rich people were born overnight, which led to the collision between "new money" and "old money".

Gatsby is the embodiment of "new money". He lives in Xidan, Long Island, new york. He spends money like water and makes friends all over the world. His old lover Daisy and her husband Tom Buchanan are representatives of "old money". They live in Dongdan nearby, boasting extraordinary taste and knowing how to control money reasonably. However, they are selfish and heartless and used to cheating.

Clayton's version of the film asked robert redford to play Gatsby. There is no problem with the choice of actors, but it always makes people feel that the American vulgarity of decoration has been replaced by the British style, and the taste is wrong, so the evaluation is average.

Only a handful of actors can play Gatsby. In a sense, Gatsby himself is a superstar. He is like a more elegant howard hughes. He was worshipped by thousands of people and lived in seclusion. The people he meets will be flattered.

We must find a real movie star to play him. Leonardo DiCaprio is indeed one of the few qualified people in Hollywood today.

The restoration of the storyline is not the difficulty of putting The Great Gatsby on the screen. The adaptation of Rhulman is almost the most faithful of all versions, but the whole movie seems to be the farthest from the original, and there is almost no spiritual relationship between them.

Rhulman did his job as a Hollywood production director, piling money on the screen in Gatsby's way for the audience to see clearly. The magnificent castle is set in the studio of Australia, colorful costumes are more dazzling than the circus, virtual cameras are in the sky, and the visual effects are doubly eye-catching in the 3D lens, which may distract some viewers from the music of Jay-Z, the king of hip-hop.

Yes, just like a 1920s version of Romeo and Juliet or Moulin Rouge, Luhrmann once again spilled color, music, speed and body movements without restraint, which brought his fascination with artificial style to the extreme.

It seems that someone is constantly reminding him that he is not luxurious enough, so he has to double everything!

The last time I felt a similar high-intensity bombing in the cinema was Zhang Yimou's "Golden Flower in the City". Sometimes I feel that even Rhulman himself is lost in the spectacle he created, forgetting that Gatsby's infatuation with Daisy is the main clue in the plot, leaving people with a less profound impression than Nick's love for Gatsby.

Let's just say that Rhulman probably heard that The Great Gatsby talked about a luxurious and wasteful life, so he thought it was something he was good at, but the confrontation between money and poverty and wealth was the subtext of luxury, and he only took personal grudges.

Since the film was released, it has received more bad reviews and praises in North China. Don't blame the audience for being too picky. Hollywood filming The Great Gatsby is just like Hollywood filming A Dream of Red Mansions, and it will never satisfy everyone.
