Jordan Baker Flashback Gatsby&Daisy (The Great Gatsby 2013)

I think the cast did a wonderful job of portraying that idea. The specific price for the pearl necklace is a symbolic representation of Daisy's price tag and how much Daisy is worth. Because Tom gave her the necklace, he is indicating that Daisy can be "bought." In the end, the necklace is nothing more than a collar with no love behind it.

[@laurenw2834]

i love how many times they play 'young and beautiful' in this movie - the original, the classical or the jazz version

This is a different song called Hotel Sayre that samples it. Definitely a gorgeous song

The cinematography when she says "Tell them Daisy's changed her mind." is just breathtaking. The colours and the way the audio overlaps is incredible.

Yaaaas

[@sansastark8834]

I love the shy little smile that Jordan makes after she recalls the way Gatsby looked at Daisy. The way she looks down, feeling a little embarrassed by her girlish desire for that same affection. I've always been the friend observing true love and happiness consume them with joy, but have never been lucky enough to have the same attention given to me by a man. Both Jordan and I are painfully yearning for that.

[@roseolivas08]

That’s the point. It’s a symbol of her love for Tom- materialistic, for show. She rips the necklace after realizing she’d lose the chance at real love from Jay.

[@chromosomepolice4870]

It was 1919 when she married Tom.

[@giulianamenoni8309]

I'm afraid those are fake pearls. High end pearl necklaces have knots between each pearl so they don't scatter like that.

[@laozdruni6856]

Pretty sure those were real as tiffany and co designed the jewelry from actual gems but I assume the necklace that was ripped in that scene was a regular prop so they would not damage the actual necklace but some of the pieces in the movie are worth several thousand dollars

[@frankhartebrodt1238]

Also her exquisite voice "is full of money". Elizabeth Debicki as an actress is flawless in every sense!

[@DeanGransar]

that letter melting in her hand and the strings pearl tearing apart of the last shreds of her humanity that shows how capable she is loving. Gatsby takes additional years after service in order to complete his vision.

Malik Taylor I watched this movie in 2013. The funny thing is, I hadn't seen the trailer, never read the book (although I had heard of the title before,) had no idea what the book/movie was about. Literally no idea. So when I saw this movie, I was sooo curious about what this whole Gatsby guy was. Was he a fake being? Did he exist? I couldn't know a damn thing. So when I saw this scene, I understood everything. It was quite an experience

[@justinaprehnant2888]

[@charlottei148]

This is my favourite scene in the movie, actually of all movie. My heart just breaks when Daisy pulls off her pearl necklace. She does love Gatsby. Sometimes reality just makes you deny your true passion and fit in the society.

[@StarSongwiz]

A string of pearls priced $350,000 in 1922 would be priced at the equivalent of over 5.1 million dollars in today's money. Quite a show.

[@agenttheater5]

I know he didn't get Myrtle pearls in the book but he did in the movie. I doubt they were worth that much.

[@emilycao182]

Jordan's actress is absolutely gorgeous-- sleek, tall, brunette, and super mysterious! In my opinion, she is a lot prettier than Daisy.

[@jacobcorder1821]

No need to compare them. They're both beautiful in their own way.

[@theolfactive677]

Yep I think Gatsby should have been with her instead.

[@leahclifford4559]

in the book Nick would say that he was always just on the verge of falling in love with Jorden but what always stopped him was just how gaurded she was. It was too important to her that she was always seen as cool. Just like everyone else, image was everything. During his birthday he sort of hurt her feelings when he told her he didnt want to hang out with her for the rest of the night (considering how that day went I don't blame him for just wanting to go home) Before Nick moved away at the end he tried to reach out to her one last time but their final conversation didnt go well and she made up a story about getting engaged as a way of trying to save face so he gave up on her.

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

I like how you added in that shes a brunette lol

[@silverknight1740]

She looks like her character. I imagined that she'd look like this while reading the book.

[@dominicweber]

Elizabeth Debicki is just so out of this world... perfect beauty, so tall, skinny, elegant, perfect walk, hair, face, exquisite voice and ivory-like skin. She enchanted me in that movie. Also her character was perfect. Her clothes, this exquisite hat, the possibility of being this elegant and subtle, while being so arrogant and exciting... I was in love with her, not Daisy.

[@ashokgurung2632]

Sylla Atlas if I were Gatsby I would have preferred her over Daisy any day.

[@starx8775]

Why Gatsby only loves the idea of Daisy, not her as a flawed person. Jordan actually does something with her life despite being rich, and Gatsby is also an ambitious type. I think they would make a couple with a lot more chemistry.

[@nat.1086]

Sylla Atlas No one’s really in love with Daisy after she left Gatsby.

[@gigiguccione946]

[@aceris5874]

Will Link While that may be in some way true, I think Daisy was simply a shallow, materialistic person who treasured wealth over love, seeing as how she allowed Tom to persuade her into marriage. All of these people are all about themselves; even Gatsby only loved the idea of Daisy, not who she was when they reunited.

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

[@jpalpharo4304]

This scene tore my heart strings

[@Sodapop-gi4bu]

Although the movie is at times very flawed this scene is absolute perfection. It completely captures the tragic decision Daisy has made and consequences that are to follow her and Mom completely shutting down Gatsby’s letter is also very powerful and at the same time upsetting with Jordan’s sleek narration makes it in my opinion one of the best scenes in the movie

[@meiinherzbrennt]

This made me cry so much. I absolutely love it.

[@Blast2224]

While the book made Daisy out to a total bitch without the slightest hint of moral fiber, the movie really did give a bit more of her psychological behavior with this flashback. She was girl born for wealth and trained by a selfish greedy egotistical mother to continue wealth. And she had two chances to experiment with maybe what she truly wanted. Once before marrying Tom, and again when Gatsby offered to keep her years later and run away. Daisy sort of made her own mess; had she not married Tom, the notion of being with Gatsby years later wouldn't be "too much, too soon" and she wouldn't have retreated back into the comfort of money. However her mother would have never allowed it and ultimately she would have lost Jordan and her friendships from failure to extend fortune. She might have not even had the wealth or means to even reach one of Gatsby's parties years later or even get close to hear of him again. The movie shows she was born broken and would always be broken.

[@isabelguzman3472]

I swear I feel daisy pain , we try so hard to forget about the love we once lost with something new but the same love never leaves .. we just hide all the emotions and trap them until we feel numb just living the story we were supposed to live not the one we changed the chapters so it can last forever ..

Love that scene in the movie - it has more sensual and stronger than it was in the book. The way Daisy expressed her feelings was far more dramatic...

[@Tony-nt9nt]

This is such an awesome way to portray the part in the book.

[@KatieT97]

Not sure what I think about how they portrayed the tub scene (the letter falling apart). It's not quite how I imagined it in the book. Still a beautiful scene nonetheless. The way it's described in the book is as follows (from Jordan's perspective): "She began to cry--she cried and cried. I rushed out and found her mother's maid, and we locked the door and got her into a cold bath. She wouldn't let go of the letter. She took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up into a wet ball, and only let me leave it in the soap-dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow."

[@KatieT97]

They got the white car down! Yes! The color white is very symbolic in the original story because of Daisy and Jordan's "white girlhood".

[@nasseman4812]

0:38 "Well I don't know" *proceeds to tell him what happened*

[@tabbycat1566]

This is probably my favorite scene in the whole movie because it shows how much Daisy loves Gatsby and how much her mother wanted her to be with Tom.

[@KurasakiBleachigo1]

Jordan's actor is 7 inches taller than Tobey Maguire

[@AishaVonFossen]

Such a tragedy, Daisy and Gatsby could have had it all together. :( This scene can really make one think, to really choose carefully who to be with and why, if one is even supposed to marry at all. Quite the cautionary tale, this is, marry for love, not money or other such things, and don't let anyone tie you down! Daisy lost all her freedom and true happiness because of this wrong choice, that she not only could have played her own part to stop (as in she could have ignored Tom), but also what her wealthy family conditioned her to value and made her go through with. Such a depressing shame. :(

[@alyssarivera4461]

I didn't really feel bad for Daisy that much. I understand that she loved them both as much as she could, she just can't very much because she values status and wealth more than anything. She also decided to bring others down in the process

[@AishaVonFossen]

Alyssa Rivera Hmm, this is true. Yeah, she was not only conditioned to believe it, she also took on a lot of that lifestyle for herself.

[@TooCooFoYou]

It's also worthy to note that Gatsby lied about how he gained his lifestyle and that he was asking too much of Daisy.

[@AishaVonFossen]

***** This is very true. Although I do believe Gatsby would have been a much better guy for her in comparison to Tom, yes, I wholeheartedly agree. He never let those memories of Daisy go, and he tried to tear her from a life that she had already made. He never moved on. I agree, if I were Daisy, I'd feel pretty torn, too, because Gatsby just wanted her to up and leave everything right off the bat as soon as they reconnected, which can be too much to ask of anyone.

[@byleemalox2265]

But she waited for Gatsby for a year and he didnt return... all that time she probably thought she had been abandoned. Gatsby was asking too much of her, he should have been honest sooner.

I liked the book maybe a bit better but this does it compele justice. It captures the lush innocence of the 1920s perfectly with its ravishing costumes and sets and the cast is also very good especially the actress who played Jordan who is in my opinion the absolute scene stealer of the entire movie just sooooo sleek and beautiful when at the end we don’t even really know who she is or what ever happens to her......this scene is by far the best as it perfectly shows the tragic decision Daisy regretfully makes and keeps from Tom with the hauntingly beautiful song in the back and the pearls hitting the floor just perfect cinematography

[@DeeDeeFatmLoverWanab]

I always come back to these flashback scenes, the movie is so well done

[@coloredimagination1650]

I think what was in the letter that Gatsby was coming back from the war when Daisy received the letter which happen to be on the morning of the wedding. So, she was pretty much forced to marry Tom at this point but it was really too late to turn back.

[@iamb34]

People love to say she didnt love Gatsby but she did. She loved him so much she was willing to wait for a nobody soldier instead of marrying rich. The choice was taken from her. Even in the end, Gatsby forces her to erase the years she had with Tom. Again, the choice is taken from her. She discovers he's part of a mafia, and when she wanted to run with him, he said no. Any girl would have second thoughts after that. People say that she abandoned him, but we don't know the story. She had a daughter. She couldn't be a criminal. Women were treated horribly and she knew that, she knew she had an advantage. So she tells Tom, because she can't trust anyone then, and Tom had been her partner for years. And even then, she waited for a call. Maybe she wondered if itd be less cruel to be rejected indirectly cause thats what i wondered too. So, she prefered to be a young and beautiful fool. I don't blame her. Tbh, I'd have chosen the same too. Not everyone is out there trying to defy the laws of society as they know it, some just try to live comfortably in it. Adapt. And if that's bad, then we are really in a bad route

Guess we were be hoping actress who played Jordan was the one that went blonde to play Daisy. However Daisy here is classical enough that she still fits Daisy well. Athough Jordan should be the one to fit Gatsby's hearthrob description, but we also need the Daisy that we hate for turning against Gatsby and still foolish for Tom. We don't wanna be hurt by Jordan girl beauty if she was Daisy and this is why she wasn't casted as one.

To be frank, I liked the book’s depiction of Daisy’s breakdown better. The writing seemed more melancholic to me, but the effects and extra tidbits in the movie do add to it.
