She was staring into the distance and he was staring right back at her. Metaphoric, they were always searching for the idea of each other, not the actual person.

[@Muirmaiden]

@Jhon D Not entirely. Gatsby was constantly trying to re-invent and better himself, even before he met Daisy. He wanted to be part of the wealthy elite, and that was what Daisy represented. It's very much taken from Fitzgerald's own life experience. He went to school with the wealthy and privileged, but he didn't fit in. That's why he wanted success so badly. Daisy was expected to marry someone of her own stature in society, old money. Gatsby was new money and he attained his wealth through criminal activity, which was the main reason why she decided to stay with her husband Tom when she found out the truth.

[@unknownalt5845]

@Jhon D Gatsby was a liar, he lied throughout their entire relationship about who he was because he wanted to be a part of that wealthy class, that success (From an early childhood he had done so by copying their mannerisms and etc). Daisy, pretty and wealthy, was the epitome of his desires and that is why he loves her. He evens admits it at some point in the book, he was in love with the idea of her, not her. She waited for him but as the war dragged out, he never came back. A woman during that time can only wait so long for a man before her prime is over and she becomes an "old maid". If she was truly a gold digger, she would have gone with Gatsby. After all, he was now rich and loved her more than Tom could ever with all his unfaithfulness. But she didn't. This to me signified that it wasn't just money that made her choose Tom. The quote in this video about her daughter truly was beautiful. When I read it for the first time, I felt like Daisy was talking about herself and her situation.

[@julesmikell4198]

@Armond Welch well, technically the point of the story was to be a commentary on the American dream

[@Muirmaiden]

@Armond Welch He wanted her to live up to the fantasy of her he had created. That was why he wanted her to pretend that the five years they were apart never happened. She was a married woman with a child. It was unreasonable of him to expect her to drop everything to be with him.

[@jaysonmcgrath9947]

You could argue she's just part of his pursuit of wealth, a sort of battle with Tom over Daisy. Daisy was this perfect girl with a voice like money. Gatsby wanted it all. I would think romance fades a little after 5 years, but who knows maybe he was in love.

[@brandonhohn245]

Weird, 3.1k likes and 2 comments; let's make that 3. The movie was meant to be, it was the whole ideology of the book. That's why the driving scenes are obviously cgi and blown out of proportion. It was meant to show how the world can change when you're someone you believe if special, someone with something you don't have. It's the high from when you meet someone impressive. That's why everything changes to greyscale near the end of the book when Nick has out grown them all and sees them and their world for what they truly are.

[@sharpaycutie2]

No

[@guadalupeflorian7913]

Carey Mulligan did an amazing job. If you don’t like Daisy, that’s the idea. She’s beautiful to men’s eyes, her mother educated her for that. She’s not honorable, since she never built character. She’s not a fool, but prefers to live in a fantasy world since it’s easier than confronting the reality. She was willing to leave her daughter for the illusion of love. She will be with you, as long as you make her feel good. Otherwise she will leave. That’s why she stayed with Tom, maybe he had lovers, but he had her living in a mansion, with pretty clothes, pretty shoes, pretty furniture, traveling, shopping, dinners, wine, parties, a 24/7 nanny for her child, servants and he “always came back to her”.

She's just the way I think Daisy is: a trophy wife in all her splendor. In the book, I though of her as a champagne bottle: giggly, sparkling and pleasurable to be around, but not to stick around. And Carey portraid her just like that. She was flawless.

[@annagomez4096]

This quote actually is so deep.... 'I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool” She means that because she knows her husband cheats on her and treats horribly and it hurts to know he does these things... If daisy was dumb she wouldn’t know what was going on... she wouldn’t have to dumb herself down to fit in in to society... She is to be a beautiful naive girl

[@hid8290]

Also not only that but girls who were born into wealthy families were born to marry a rich person since they didn't have a choice and I think that's interesting too

2:04 The beginning of one of the best shots in modern cinema. Daisy gently talking about things fading and never coming back. The Green Light flashing right in front of her. New York lit up in the background behind Gatsby’s Mansion, and him walking down the pier, hidden by the lights of Nicks car arriving in the background, before we see Gatsby reaching straight to the light we’ve just seen. Representing his dreams and what he was looking for perfectly. Not to mention how perfectly the music in this scene captures the emotion.

[@geeksandcooks]

As much as we end up disliking Daisy, here is another bittersweet thought. When she's wishing her daughter to be a fool unlike she who chose the "sensible" and most predictable path by marrying rich etc. When what probably would've made her happiest was to marry for love, but she didn't. So Daisy hopes her daughter won't follow in her steps, but instead take the plunge and risk it all for love.

[@lightgrey5365]

aww

[@ikariiprince]

I really like this interpretation

[@yarab4047]

i interpreted this completely the opposite way, i felt that daisy hoped her daughter would just blindly follow her path, and marry a man whos rich, just like shes expected to, while being oblivious to the way he treats her. because the way i see it daisy went down the right path (dictated by society) since she didnt marry someone of lower class for love and instead did what she was expected to do by marrying tom, so she hopes that her daughter will not be sensible enough so that she could do the same without having to go through the pain that daisy has gone through ( because daisys sensible enough to realize she is being mistreated and that this life isnt happiness to her ) since she would be oblivious to it if she were a fool.

[@claudiaschmidt3708]

I grew up in Latin America. But when I grew up there it didn't feel like the 2010 era but if it was 1950. The classism depicted in the great Gatsby, and the way woman marry and choose their partners and how the rich guys have someone from the under class as their mistress, all this things are still pretty accurate today for Latin America. Of course all those nice dresses and music are not the same, but the actual behavior is pretty much the today at least where I was

I love this scene, and have loved it from the very moment I watched The Great Gatsby. Daisy's lines here speak so many volumes. Her character is represented so clearly within these lines that the entire outcome of the film can actually be hypothesised just from this moment once the audience is given the recognition of Gatsby's purpose to Daisy. "And I hope she'll be a fool. That's the best thing a girl can be in this world. A beautiful little fool..." -> Speaks volumes to Daisy's character and also the general attitudes of women in the early 1900s. Although the 1920s were an extremely progressive decade in terms of flappers becoming commenplace and the woman's movement really taking strides from here on out, the ordeals women would deal with from men were still at large. Daisy wishes she was a fool, because then she'd be unaware of his cheating and constant betrayals against her. She wishes that her daughter will be, because its the best thing that she can be. Daisy exclaims that she's glad her child is a girl, as being a man can be seen as quite monsterous to Daisy considering her husband and main male prominence is Tom (Later, Gatsby.) She wishes her daughter is naive so she cannot be lead down this line of pain like Daisy is. Ignorance being bliss... "All the bright, precious, things fade so fast..." -> Can be a reference to either Tom or Gatsby in this situation. They both may have started out as promising relations to Daisy but then both lost their colour as time went on. Tom, because of his infedelity and Gatsby because of his departure to gain money and status to be worthy of her. "And they don't come back..." -> Daisy stating that the precious things cant return is such a massive theme in the Great Gatsby. Gatsby is a man who believes that he is able to rewrite the past, like God, and fix everything that has gone wrong with him and Daisy. His whole life becomes centered around that idea from the day he kisses her and swears his heart to her then. The mansion, the parties, the money. It was all for her because he was so desperate to turn back the clock and have the life with Daisy he always dreamed of having but it proves to be impossible and this quote from Daisy shows us exactly why. Gatsby is able to put his mind to the past and forget everything that has happened since he left Daisy, but Daisy cannot. To her, the bright, precious things do NOT come back. Once they are tarnished, they are tarnished. Her character is formed around this idea of living for the present moment, for being an almost corpse-like figure just waiting it out and feigning naiviety whilst her husband cheats on her continuously. Tom always comes back. Maybe this idea is so important to Daisy because Gatsby left and didn't come back for so long. She gained major abandonment issues and will take anything she can get, even if it means a lying, cheating husband with no regard for anyone but himself because at least he always came back... I adore the Gatsby, and this scene always spoke volumes to me.

Tom is the symbol of the rich, who we envy. Has it all but still not enough. Gatsby is the symbol of who we want to be, pursuing a dream and achieving it.

I know I'm not.supposed to like Daisy but in this scene I feel for her. It's as if being in this world has broken her spirit- or rather, snuffed out the light inside her.

[@julissa6715]

The novel is so beautiful it hurts.

[@MrZanctum]

I don't know why anyone would dislike this movie.

[@mnlyt2942]

Carey Mulligan killed it in this role

[@mhm2957]

this movie is genius. period.

[@robmason1]

I watched this movie at the cinema on the first date with my only true love. After 4 years we broke up and I haven’t seen her again. 4 years later I still think about her every day. One day I hope our paths cross again. Hope you’re good Loz xx

[@rzn2258]

Words of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s actual wife in real life. Still one of the best Old New York American novels to date👌

[@Aaron-zk7fe]

With all the problems of the world sometimes I wish my daughter was a beautiful little fool

[@evangeline8193]

I was first introduced to this story when I was 11 years old. And I remember not knowing how to feel. It's so beautiful but so heartbreaking. And such a simple story if you think about it, in this time scandal and affair were like as common as breathing when you had money or simply even existed. But somehow it so complicated and interesting at the same time. And up until now I'm fourteen and this is still my favourite movie, book and story

[@internetsummoner]

Such frantic film cuts starting at the 0:25 mark !

[@ikennanana]

I’m still watching this even though I finish my grade 11 English course

[@spiffyjass]

[@katiecavanaugh5200]

i could write a whole essay on the meaning of this quote in this book

[@DeltaEagle7700]

This movie is so proper!

[@omgmono]

All the bright precious things fade so fast... and they don’t come back

[@OzanCavidTV]

that music is killing me

[@hermetic_wizard777]

Eerie quote "all the bright precious things fade so fast; and they don't come back."

[@bigj1905]

F. Scott Fitzgerald was a metaphorical genius, as both the book and movie were incredibly well written.

[@abigailwilson8854]

Literally the best line ever in the entire book.

[@evangeline8193]

Ive been the person in the comments asking for the music. I want to save you guys the time. Not all of us have shazam😂: Green light by Craig Armstrong

[@briab1679]

I cry every time.

[@sunnycloud4392]

I don't know but Daisy's words make me so sad also because she is absolutely honest about what she says and the words come from her heart.
