Imagine when this movie was made it was 50 years ago since 1924, today it’s 50 years ago since 1974..

[@splinterbyrd]

A well-written novel about absolutely awful people

[@denisenoemyschizotypaldiso3755]

Part of the greatness is Fitzgerald crafted believable characters, not plaster of Paris saints.

[@denisenoemyschizotypaldiso3755]

@@splinterbyrd To a large extent, Jay Gatsby embodies the American Dream. He goes fr/rags to riches. But he also shows the darkness of that American Dream: he does it illegally. Tom Buchanan truly loves Daisy but he repeatedly hurts her by cheating on her. He's also a blowhard with his concern about the races and his concern with marriage and family values. "I suppose the latest thing is to let Mr. Nobody fr/Nowhere come in and make love to your wife." Tom routinely makes love to another man's wife and has no concern for the fact that he could harm that man's marriage as well as his own. Daisy is trapped by her own materialism and class consciousness. She can't marry a poor boy even if she loves him, she stays with a rich brute even though he mistreats her. Myrtle is a fool who is unconcerned about making a fool of her husband.

I LOATHED everyone in this book, ugh. I hated that I was forced to read it, and my teacher was angry at my scathing review, I felt my time wasted, and said so. My book report was graded very poorly, and I'm actually still angry about that. I wrote a fair book review with concise points, and my "young opinion" was dismissed. Scathingly. This may be "The Great American Novel," but simply not My cup of tea. And my 17 year old daughter just forced me to watch the Leo version, and now She's annoyed I'm still not impressed.

The casting is perfect! Redford as idealistic Gatsby. Farrow as a manipulative Daisy. Roles fitting the actual characters of the actors.

Love story? In the book daisy is the reason for most of the mess and probably one of the main antagonists while Gatsby was just foolishly in love

[@carolineshane-mcdaniel837]

Umm..he loved her..

[@yanijen9733]

Still love story

[@victoriamariadantasrodrigues]

I personally think that The Great Gatsby suffers the same problem as Wüthering Heights. People say it's a love story... but is it? I don't think it is. I don't think Gatsby was in love wih Daisy per se, not the "person" Daisy. The book is more profound in this matter.

[@Freffs]

"A time of hope, wonder and romance" somebody inform the 1970s that The Great Gatsby is not a love story

[@ruthgunneson-poling1571]

Then what do you Freff consider it to be? I'm curious.

[@Freffs]

@@ruthgunneson-poling1571 It's a story about power, wealth and class relations rooted in the American Gilded Age. It's basically about privilege and the lengths we are willing to go to obtain it. It's a phenomenally timeless and ever relevant piece of literature.

[@dominikmaassen5194]

@@ruthgunneson-poling1571 "The Great Gatsby is also a book about the corruptibility of the human being itself. Another central theme of the novel is the lost past. Gatsby is obsessed with the idea of turning back time. He wants to resume his relationship with Daisy where it was interrupted years before. In this way, the main character's feelings coincide with those of Fitzgerald's generation of writers, for whom the First World War was also a drastic and disillusioning event." / "Love is also one of the central themes of the film, although none of the love relationships shown last long or are happy. Tom and Daisy's marriage is just as unhappy as the Wilsons'. Almost all the married characters have extramarital affairs. The love between Gatsby and Daisy also fails because he cannot win her over. Gatsby cannot win his lover Daisy over and eventually dies."

[@splinterbyrd]

@@ruthgunneson-poling1571 An incisive study of the pointless lives of idle rich people This is probably anecdotal, but apparrently: *F Scott Fitzgerald:* Ah the rich, they're so different from us... *Ernest Hemingway:* Yes. They've got more money

Robert Redford, the only Great Gatsby !

[@M.Cavenecia]

"Machete" the only Gatsby

[@PeachLover94]

This was the perfect film version for _The Great Gatsby_ for me to see in my junior/11th grade year of high school (Class of 2012). Heard good things about Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby and was introduced to Mia Farrow ( _Rosemary's Baby_ ) through this film as Daisy Buchanan. Was already primed for Bruce Dern who I knew from _Silent Running_ (1972) as Tom Buchanan. Lois Chiles I was already hot for from THE BEST James Bond film for newcomers _Moonraker_ and was sterling as Jordan Baker. Sam Waterston ( _Law & Order_ ) was dynamically young as Nick Carraway and both he and Karen Black ( _Airport 1975_ ) I was ready for from _Capricorn One_ (1977/1978). But still I can't get Karen's frantic radio call out of my head to this day... "Salt Lake? Salt Lake? This is Columbia 409... it's Nancy Pryor, stewardess. Something HIT us. All the flight crew is... either dead or... or badly injured. THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO FLY THE PLANE! *HELP US! ... **_OH MY GOD, HELP US!!_* "

This movie would have been so much better if Natalie Wood would have been cast as Daisy. But because she was absent from the screen for a little while they wanted a screen test, and she refused to do it. She and Robert Redford has sizzling chemistry, they would have been magical here.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

@emily And it would have been idiotic. The WHOLE POINT IS there isn't chemistry. She doesn't love him. It's debatable whether he really loves her. He deludes himself that he does, certainly. It's utterly one sided.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw Really one sided.

[@Keyer-bn3dp]

Farrow was good. Played innocent and naive.

[@carlam7617]

I agree with you. Natalie Wood was a far superior actress than Farrow. She would have played the part of Daisy magnificently especially with those expressive eyes.

[@akarkaradevdara513]

A good movie. I think this version is best.

[@splinterbyrd]

One critic described this production as elegant but lifeless. But that's the point; it's a study of elegant but lifeless people.

[@Foul_Deformity]

I loved the 2013 because it shows he's a sweet and caring man who's crazed by his obsession that he doesn't realize he's the reason she's pulling away while she's a woman who's had life handed to her that the idea of being with "new money" and admitting to to crime of murder was never an option to begin with, to her their love was a fleeting summer fling she wished would be continuous without consequence. I'd love to compare the 2 tho

[@robertmasina4610]

Robert Redford was probably cast in this 1974 movie because he was coming off the success of previously "The Way We Were" and "The Sting", both from late 1973.

[@tifoobtsuj]

He actually was cast because he did it for free. They wanted Jack Nick but he wanted 500k but the budget was to small to pay him. I heard this from a Bob Evans interview.

[@splinterbyrd]

@@tifoobtsuj The jazz age was a bit of a fad in the early 70s, started (I think) by the movies _Thoroughly Modern Millie_ and _Bonnie snd Clyde_ It also influenced early 1970s fashion and interior design

[@gwynnielsen5081]

Ah, Redford was so beautiful in this role. Given the novel, maybe he wasn't the best casting choice at the time, but it didn't matter because all of him took up most of the screen even when he was sharing it.

2013 was way better imo. This version always felt dull and fake to me. Maybe the 2013 one wasn't as good as a movie by itself, but the visuals, acting, and music make it so much more exciting for me to attach what's happening on screen to the book I know and love.

[@omg9261]

A very nice movie. But weirdly enough it made me find appreciation for the new version. Before I used to think that the new movie was too loud and obnoxious. But they actually nailed the crucial scenes and di Caprio was very good.

And I grew up in the 90s so it's not that I was alive when the original was made... but I've read this novel n the original embodies the spirit of the book n the times...

[@lostinthelookingglas]

It depends on what you want to emphasize from the book. This one emphasizes the quiet moments and interpersonal drama. The new one is big and glamorous and emphasizes the excess of Gatsby's lifestyle.

Ephesians 6:12 New King James Version 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against (A)principalities, against powers, against (B)the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Exodus 20:13 New King James Version 13 “You shall not murder. Romans 6:10 New King James Version For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 2 Samuel 14:17 New King James Version Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you.’ ” Romans 4:4 New King James Version 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. Psalm 57:6 NKJV They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah Psalm 56:5-7 NKJV 5 All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God! Revelation 16:6-7 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” 7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” Matthew 24:7 New King James Version 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. Isaiah 24 New King James Version Impending Judgment on the Earth 24 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface And scatters abroad its inhabitants. 2 And it shall be: As with the people, so with the priest; As with the servant, so with his master; As with the maid, so with her mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the lender, so with the borrower; As with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, For the Lord has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and fades away, The world languishes and fades away; The haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left. 7 The new wine fails, the vine languishes, All the merry-hearted sigh. 8 The mirth of the tambourine ceases, The noise of the jubilant ends, The joy of the harp ceases.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

This version of Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece is magnificent. It is perfect. It has that elegiac sad yearning quality to it. Everybody in it is well nigh perfect BUT..... The trailer is dreadful appalling tosh. They are marketing it as a LOVE story. TGG is anything BUT a love story. Gatsby thinks he is in love with Daisy. What he is in love with is a lost time. A part of his youth that's gone. He wants to wind the clock back. He was perhaps infatuated with her years before. But that's it. He's chasing a shadow, a ghost that no longer exists if it ever did. Mia Farrow is a perfect Daisy Buchanan. A rich spoilt brat of an airhead married to her rich privileged thug of a husband who is a true white supremacist ; a member of the Nordic Race. Gatsby could have and should have left the past where it belongs In the past. He didn't of course and that was his tragedy. Definitely NOT a love story.
