[@cbyaz9412]

Nick isn’t even poor lol he comes from an especially wealthy midwestern family and he went to Yale (New Haven) with Tom. It’s just that because of the midwestern values instilled in him, he chose to make most of his earnings on his own rather than rely on his parents forever (although the first year he is supported by his family financially). He CHOOSES to live in the old rundown shack for $80 a month or wtv because that’s what a hard worker does: they don’t sit idly by partaking in leisure activities in a mansion, they go out and earn their living. Obviously, Nick has a huge advantage over someone like Gatsby or Myrtle who have to/had to earn their money from nothing, but it’s still admirable of Nick.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I really hated the character Daisy. Typical gold digging whore. Even though it's sad, that after all Jay did just to be with his true love, I was kinda happy that he didn't end up with that sad and miserable Daisy.

[@earlspencer7863]

9:20 one of the greatest paragraphs in modern American literature: "He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray. While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher - shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, and monograms of Indian blue. Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily."

[@grassbag1]

probably one of my favorite movies of all time

[@violetholler5812]

Daisy was not the person calling at the end of the film! It was clearly reveiled to be Nick calling Gatsby's line from Wall street while he was at work that day. It's an interesting twist because Gatsby's last ever thought was that Daisy had finally called him, when in fact she never did! It was Nick!

[@user-qj9en1kp1m]

Yupp. He died hoping that Daisy chose him while as viewers (and readers) we know that Daisy has already made the choice of staying with her husband. Gatsby failed to understand that for all his wealth, love, devotion and self-sacrifice he had very little in common with Daisy and the woman he loved either never truly existed or it is long gone at any rate.

[@Flaralump]

Gatsby is a very hopeful person, every party he made and every time he looked at the green light he was hopeful that daisy would come to him one day, and what I loved as well was that when he died from the shot he was "hopeful" that it was daisy. But what really saddened me was that instead it was Nick, the only one that actually cared, we find out that daisy did love Gatsby but was too much of a coward to care. I'm quite angry though that nick is SO OVERLOOKED he is like the gem of the movie except the story isn't really about him he is behind the scenes seeing what's happening writing the biography about it in his head. I really really REALLY LOVE the way this movie feels like a dream, while watching the movie to me I was trying to figure out what was happening but at the same time I knew what was happening, the film had a feeling of it being too good to be true if that makes sence, the backgrounds, the clothes, the camera views and even the language they spoken. This to me is a very well made movie that stands out with the book, btw the cover of the book is fabulous Thanks for coming to my ted talk and have a ghost hug if you read all of it (you can't feel it but its there :) )

[@abigailmarshall5302]

I meant it definitely wasn't surprising that it was Nick calling instead of Daisy - it was obvious from the start that Daisy's a shallow, selfish, impatient character who didn't really love Gatsby

Daisy was the OG THOT

[@nirvanalama8493]

Fucking Gold digging Huwaah!! Hate that character to the bone.

[@kiwuwuwu]

Daisy was a complex, conflicted character. Right before she even married Tom, she received a letter from Gatsby that he was alive and coming for her, so she tried her very hardest to get out of the wedding and find him, but her mother forced her to marry Tom. When she explains to Nick that she wants her daughter to be a ""beautiful little fool" she's explaining how she wishes she didn't know about all of Tom's infidelities, and regrets marrying him. However, she can't just up and leave because she has to think of her daughter. And she can't just take her 2-5 year old and go live with Gatsby with her because that can be detrimental on a young child's mental health. Tbh, hated Myrtle more, but who wouldn't? Tom and Myrtle were ultimately the worst characters, especially since they work as a duo. This story is not meant to have a happy ending. It's not really a Romeo and Juliet, but can be compared to it. I just think Daisy needs a more specific analysis than just "thot", which is more Myrtle's title.

[@zayontoppp98]

kyra jean she belongs to the streets

[@kiwuwuwu]

@@zayontoppp98 Do people hate Daisy now because she didn't end up with Gatsby? Like I said, she had a lot running through her mind. And most of her realizations come crashing down on her in the shirt throwing scene. She didn't even say "I don't love you anymore" herself to Tom. She was repeating Gatsby, who was urging her to say it so that he can continue his life with Daisy like he dreamed. Since The Great Gatsby revolves around this time period and uses it as a plot device for setting, you can understand the reasons for marriage. People still married for money. And since Gatsby was part of the "new money" crowd, it's conflicting to be with him because more people understood the old money. I'm mostly just repeating my English teacher at this point, but of you really analyze the story and understand the values of the time period, it all becomes much clearer.

[@Muirmaiden]

@@kiwuwuwu Even if they did end up together, their "relationship" would still have been doomed because Gatsby didn't love the real Daisy, but what she represented.

the yelling scene is important because it indicated Gatsby's status. A gentleman will never lose his temper, even at the worst times. However, Gatsby went haywire after being pushed, showing Daisy that he is only a commoner, and despite his money, will never be a noble. Daisy was only in love with Gatsby because he was everything she dreamed he was: noble, handsome, in love with her. But when the charade faded, she came to, and realized the truth. That's why she left.

[@jac7198]

Mmm her husband hit her etc His losing temper along with the insistence of "everything will be perfect & recapture the past only if Daisy tells husband, she never loved him plus she only loved Gatsby." His losing temper at that very moment exposed beyond a doubt, his mental instability & obsession. She did love her husband. She was superficial & bored. Her husband & friends were bored. He presented a superficial alter ego & people enjoyed the party. Daisy was bored & in a miserable marriage. What iffing young romantic fling was more value than trying to recapture the past that for her had cuz her husband was in the past- courting her in earnest & happiness while Gatsby life revolved around building the fantasy of what if, etc.

There was an orchestra - Bingo-Bango Playing for us to dance the tango And the people clapped as we arose For her sweet face and my new clothes. Life was like that, after all; my spirit soars in the moment of its oblivion; then down, down deep into the pillow..."

1:08 Leo explained it. Adding hip hop to this movie was a key to let the viewers relate and feel closer to the film. I think it was a great idea, I really enjoyed it. In my opinion it suits the movie well.

[@user-qj9en1kp1m]

I wasn't crazy about the music, it seemed artificial. But then again Gatsby's world is artificial so perhaps that was the point.

[@rhov-anion]

As a lover of jazz music, I hated it at first, but I also understood why they chose to do it. Making a film relatable to the audience is always important, and music was a huge part of what made the 1920s so "roaring." For people born 70-80 years later, Aaron Copeland and foxtrot just aren't "roaring dance music."

I love this movie, idc what anyone says. I know how to appreciate the art style the director was going for, the symbolism, and the music I think was great. The party scene is absolutely spectacular. Also Leonardo DiCaprio is my favorite actor and Tobey is one of my favorites (Mainly because of Spider-Man) so that just makes the movie even better.

“Also, one of the reasons this movie is 2 hours and 22 minutes long is that it takes 30 minutes for the title character to show up.” AT LEAST THAT’S TRUE TO THE BOOK. JAY GATSBY DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR LIKE....FIVE CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK. (And one of them was just name dropping and it was insufferable) Also that comment about the Gatsby/Carraway fanfic made me laugh. And if there isn’t an “Old Sport” bonus round, I will be sad.

Fair but the narration is actually really important to understanding nick as a character and a fundamental part of understanding the book and the story. the film missed out a lot of Nick being overly judgemental as well which was also important in the book as he stated at the start that he was basically not judgmental and totally honest

[@theunitedstatesofamerica3556]

In the book it takes like 2 chapters for Gatsby to make a real appearance. He makes a VERY SMALL appearance in Chapter 1 where Nick sees him for a split second then Gatsby just vanishes

[@rmarx1496]

I didn't mind this film. The vintage take on the opening logos was a nice touch and the techno-style music along with Gatsby's supercharged car gave the movie a dieselpunk feel. I don't think many people actually understood the artistic statement being made in those small details.

[@NicolaiAAA]

[insert gif of Gatsby Leo raising his martini glass amid a blast of fireworks]

[@samyen3210]

I dont think Gatsby was gay for nick, maybe bi but he loved daisy. Nick is hinted to be gay. He wakes up in some guys couch/bed (I dont remember) at one point and theres that elevator scene with that photographer guy.

[@samyen3210]

@George Corbul I read the book in 10th so the couch thing might not be accurate. But i do think the author was trying to say something in that scene. Yes people act silly when drunk but this is a book, and I feel like there was a reason the author included that scene and all that phallic imagery. Either way we cant be sure but personally that's what I got out of that scene. I think it adds a bit to his relationship with gatsby too. Or maybe I'm overanalyzing. They didnt include it in the movie so maybe it was not important after all.

[@annestrasko7581]

I don’t think that happened in Great Gatsby. Didn’t Holden Caufield wake up on some guy’s couch in Catcher in the Rye?

[@avamarie3458]

They didn’t include a lot of details in the movie that were conducive to Nick’s character development. The phallic imagery is not as important as the fact he was in Mr. McKee’s room as he showed him his portfolio in his underwear then he wakes up in a train station. They were heavily implied to have slept together. Also, the book itself is extremely short so it’s worth noting that that whole scene wouldn’t have been in there for nothing. This better develops Nick’s role as an unreliable narrator as not only was he dedicated to Gatsby platonically, there was a level of unrequited love that he played off. As Tom says near the end of the book, he threw dust in Nick’s eyes just as he did Daisy’s. He used Nick’s unrelenting devotion to him to his advantage in order to fulfill his romantic idea of what his life was destined to be.
