[@juliawarren847]

For anyone that thinks that this scene was badly edited: it's supposed to be this way. It's fast paced, euphoric, and imperfect... It represents Gatsby's speech, and Nick's impression of him in this moment. If this scene feels like "it's on cocaine", it's because that's how Gatsby is behaving... He's being hyperactive, talkative, and unpredictable.

[@dianecrow6887]

He's hustling Nick. He's fast talking Nick and this manic scenery matches the fast talk. He is someone who basically is trying to bum rush Nick into accepting him. He's clearly determined to woo Nick into his circle and is determined to convince NIck to accept him.

[@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168]

I like how it comes off like the dialogue is dubbed, because you hear instances of him speaking when his mouth is not moving. It's like he is speaking so quickly that Nick can't process it.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

[@tamayako2000]

Jay is me when talking about any of my hyperfixations/accomplishments I actually feel proud of. Nick is me in basically any other conversation.

[@darkgirl9706]

There is actually one interesting bit in this scene. At 0:43 Gatsby waves at a truck full of lower class workers. Gatsby was stressing about how rich and upper class he was, but paused to wave at the poor who obviously knew who he was and seemed to hold respect for him. Hinting that he has helped them out in some way or was kind to them. This right here is a sly hint that Gatsby is not as high class as he claims to be. Gatsby recognizes the struggles of the poor enough to care/acknowledge. No rich person would ever do that.

[@MrTalkingCorn]

You had me until you said no rich person would ever do that. Plenty of rich people donate to charities. Is that too impersonal? Should they go to children's hospital or a food bank and personally greet and talk to them? Or would that be pandering?

[@pergys6991]

MrTalkingCorn the difference between caring and understanding and actually being them is a massive difference a lot of people forget. Rich people do care but it’s impossible for them to actually understand the lower classes life because they’ve never been in the situation and as such, find it hard to really put themselves in their shoes. For example, a rich guy who grew up poor (like Gatsby) will obviously understand how the poor get by and as such, can relate to them on a deeper level. That doesn’t mean he completely cares but he still understands them. The rich guys son who was born after the father had his wealth will be unable to relate to them on that level because he hasn’t gone through what they and his father did. It may seemed flawed but asked yourself this: When you see a beggar on the streets or a war torn country being displayed in T.V, do any of your thoughts contain something like “Glad it’s not me”. This is exclusively for those who haven’t gone through those same experiences

[@darkgirl9706]

MrTalkingCorn it’s not that it’s too impersonal, but something they simply wouldn’t do. One thing to take into account is that in the book, and real life, there is a strong difference between new money and old money. Gatsby is *claiming* to be old money, but he’s not. And this scene shows this because of how friendly he is to non-rich people. Think about the scene in the speakeasy as well. Or the cop scene. These people adore Gatsby and respect him. They *like* him. No one likes Tom or Daisy, but they still bow down to them because elf their money. They don’t need to be likable. Their blue blood status allows them to get what they want with or without likability. I’m not saying that someone old money rich couldn’t form a connection with the poor, but they wouldn’t. There is no common ground between the two. Nothing to talk about or for them to understand. If an old money rich person donate to the poor, it’s because they think “oh it’s so sad THEY have to go through this. I gotta do something. :(“. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s distant. Meanwhile Gatsby is new money. If he is donating money it would be more along the lines of “I remember struggling like they did, I will help with what I can because I would have liked that when I was poor”. There is a sense of solidarity and unity, because he’s been in their shoes before.

If he didn't that so highly of Gatsby knowing full well of his nefarious deeds he would never have tried to reunite Gatsby with Daisy. The thing is Gatsby didn't need to lie to Nick. He could have been honest but you know that he wanted his only true friend to think so highly of him.

[@roberthansen5399]

Js Master It would have been much better if they attempted to do it without narration from Tobey in my opinion. I think translating to film requires taking away some of the trappings of literature and showing a raw experience. For instance, to me this scene would’ve been much better if it was simply the roar of the engine and cutting between Gatsby’s ridiculous stories in a montage as the music plays.

While Gadsby was not poor in the financial sense, as he waived to those people from his car, he was poor in the meaning sense, and that is what made him relate to those poor people.

Gentlemen: The Duesenberg in the movie is from 1932-1937 as it has a supercharger. If a model J has exterior sidepipes, it has a supercharger. The first Model J supercharger was built in 1932. The car is not correct for 1922.

The SJ was capable of a 217-225km/h top speed. Which was pretty fast in those times and been able to drift without crashing. In the movie they used a 1984 replica of the Car wich maybe even faster.

In this scene it's clear that Gatsby drives a yellow car. Yellow was chosen because he likes it and he drove to get somewhere. You may have noticed his sunglasses. This was to stress that the sun can be damaging to your eyes. The car is a convertible because Gatsby likes the smell when driving by a bakery. The driving is over the top and fast, an allusion to 2008's Speed Racer, Gatsby's favorite movie. The characters Speed and Gatsby are very similar, both having brothers with chimpanzee friends.
