The Great Gatsby (2013) - Kinda Takes Your Breath Away Scene (4/10) | Movieclips

[@sugarblood1930]

The scene of her breaking the string of pearls was actually really powerful. In the book she could never give up the lifestyle Tom provided to be with someone like Gatsby who was considered 'new money' and she was always unable to express her true emotions and would retreat back into the life of prestige and luxury she grew up in. Except, in this one clip when she lashed out and pearls went flying everywhere it essentially showed her finally putting love before anything else, and lashing out about how she feels. I know that in the end she turned on Gatsby but I think at one point their love was definitely real because she was even willing to give up the wealth that would be handed to her, which is what destroying the necklace represented.

[@lekhakusumalayam6615]

and then the necklace being put back together and worn by her again signifies her ultimate bond to that old money lifestyle :0 woah

[@UserName-fb2co]

I hated the book really lol

[@bichtramnguyen4923]

Thanks for explaining more specifically to let us know better

[@mattlibra3139]

the real gag? Real pearl necklaces have knots between each pearl, making the necklace much easier to fix if broken, and making it so the pearls would never scatter all over. The way in which the necklace breaks here insinuates the $350,00 necklace was made of plastic beads, and not in fact, true pearls.

[@LM-ix7pk]

Matt Libra hmm, interesting. Maybe the fake pearl necklace is representing Daisy’s artificial and shallow mindset about love and wealth. Or maybe Tom winning Daisy with money, but not by love. And Daisy thought the necklace was authentic pearls.

[@nighthasfallen456]

That string of pearls is $350,000 in 1919. That translates to over $5 million in today's money. 😮

If they were natural matching pearls it could be way more expensive today. cultured pearls were invented twenty years before Daisy was a debutante and it was still an expensive propriety thing. If they were cultured pearls, they would fetch far less today.

The fact that everything looks saturated and CG-like almost helps to capture the essence of the book and Fitzgerald's overall message: it is has this shiny, glossy sheen with bright lights and vivid colours that is almost dreamlike on the surface, beautiful to look at (and to listen to), but going deeper the actual story is tragic with unlikable characters and an unhappy ending. It's almost like they've put the mood of the book into visual terms: it looks unrealistic...because the mood of wealth and brightness tied to the American Dream in the 1920s was unrealistic.

@@nompumelelothwala6573 I'd disagree. Though he did give people the benefit of the doubt, his passiveness towards all of the indecency in the lives of his "friends" around him, I think, makes him a little guilty in a way. He was sucked into the corrupt, but glamorous game/lifestyle of the rich and famous, and sort of let everything play out as it did without much obligation for intervention. Indulging in the gossip I think in a way makes him a bit of a snake.

Lurklen Actually, in the book she’s regarded as manipulative, shallow, and very selfish. She’s also a liar, and nick over the course of the book realizes all of this. She’s also engaged to another man throughout the whole thing but doesn’t let him know till the end of the book. I think this version is toned down from the book, and even watching now I still love her character, but I think Nick made the best choice.

[@Whackadoo1]

@@isabellagriffis3061 even in this movie, she comes across as unconcerned, detached, and generally apathetic to most of the horrible events transpiring around her (a trait implied to have been brought on about by her obscene wealth and privileged lifestyle) , which was one of the main reasons why Nick didnt want to be with her in the novel as well.

[@TrelliessRose]

Now hold on. Nick had a rumor follow him all the way from Chicago to Daisy and Tom that Nick was supposed to marry the girl he "didn't quite break it off with" yet. Everyone has _something_ to lie about, I don't care who you are.

[@Lurklen]

@@TrelliessRose Exactly, he's not exactly innocent. Nick is prone to the same self delusion of his aloofness from the situation as anyone else, and in fact that's one of the things Jordan likes about him, until it isn't. I like Jordan because she's pretty honest about what you can expect, it's only when she starts to really feel something she gets hurt. She's slightly more real about how false everything in their lives is.

The debate on weather or not Daisy loved Gatsby is interesting, I however think she did. I think she's smarter than we think and than she'd like to be. Smart enough to know that for a woman in this time life is just easier if you follow "the rules". Everybody talks about how sad it was that Jay couldnt have Daisy even though he loves her so much, but it hurts Daisy too. She knows that he loved her and she DEFINITELY loved him. He was real in a world of fake rich people getting drunk to solve their problems and partying because they have gone to far to remove the glass which is pain that rests on the beds that they have made and shall forever sleep in. Daisy loved Gatsby

[@GingerBreadMan1178]

Yes, that's why she was crying when Gatsby was throwing the linens at her. At that moment, she knew she could've had both fortune and love. She's been with Tom for so long that she feels secure being where she's at, and that's why she was scared to get a divorce. It's like a relationship where the guy/girl doesn't feel comfortable living together even though they've been together for years because the individual is so use to living by him/herself. Change is hard when you adapt too much within that time period.

[@raulmartinez3484]

I can sympathize with Gatsby for his desire to impress Daisy. He hosts some of the most extravagant parties at his mansion, acquired a vast fortune, and expanded his reputation just to have a shot at getting back Daisy. It is inspiring yet tragic because his success is merely based on his desire to get Daisy. Daisy is his reason to gain a fortune and to live his hedonistic lifestyle. Without her, he will have no reason to continue with his success. I too did a lot to have a shot at getting a girl I was infatuated with by studying hard in school, later going to a top tier university, buying a luxury car, learned to play guitar, and lived a wild life just to impress her. Just like Gatsby, I grew up from a low income background and the girl I was interested in was being groomed to be among the top students in our district (possibly the county) and she was higher in the social rankings than I was. Once I blew my chance with her during college, I decided to continue on with my life and no longer made her my only reason to continue improving my life. Too bad for Gatsby, he couldn't let go Daisy within those 5 years otherwise, he would have had a better life.

The afternoon had made them tranquil for a while as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised.

0:17 that's Baz Luhrmann on Tobey's side

[@bittu2507]

hi lara

[@dramaticvirghoe]

This is the first time I've seen Elizabeth Debicki in a movie, she was amazing in Tenet 😍

[@SamC_182]

I love this movie, the ending hurt so much because I just saw so much similarities between Gatsby's character with mine, and so much in the character of Daisy with the girl who hurt me

[@gaz4553]

i'd look at jordan the way gatsby looked at daisy.

[@musics4me]

Hollywood should always cast Elizabeth Debicki as mystical, glamorous women (also supervillains!)

[@pranphu5248]

This movie for me is only about Lana's haunting voice 🍂

[@C4rrots]

Jordan is ten times more beautiful than Daisy, tbh.

[@whalewolf7477]

Ikr, I always thought Jordan was the most beautiful girl in the film

[@eQuariuz]

Elegance.

[@geraldinegreenwood4182]

Wtf I have no memory of seeing this scene

[@jennaportis3318]

Geraldine Greenwood same tho

[@cailax11]

The movie is very confusing with the angles so you forget some scenes

[@shizukagozen777]

Really ?? 😕

[@lamontcunningham5286]

He gave her a $6 million necklace in today's money.

[@joselynrodriguez5186]

I love how he looked at her

[@Thundernymph]

Love how tall she is! So elegant!

[@crankydeer7489]

Not gonna lie watching the film made me feel quite nauseous. Like, there’s using CG to make a film more polished; then there’s using so much CG it seemed there wasn’t a single thing that was real. Don’t even get me started when they were driving the cars Edit: also would like to point out that half of my dislike to the film is because I love the book so much. The film was fine I just was quite disappointed

[@Lurklen]

Totally intentional though, the whole thing was meant to be this kind of fuzzy around the edges impossibly bright and over the top aesthetic, in order to simulate the feeling of the 20's. Cause everyone was depressed and loaded out of their minds most of the time. The way nothing quite feels real, even things that don't need a sort of glitzy filtering over them, is meant to show how artificial all the glamour was, and that like Gatsby it was all a veneer over a broken and mundane reality. Though I mean if it actually made you nauseous in the theatre that sucks. Aside from the film you might want to get your eyes checked, or if you already have a prescription for your vision, that could be part of why as it was heavily done in 3d, and many people with eye issues have huge trouble with 3d. Or you just hated it lol.

[@HDdk100]

That's the aesthetic of the movie though, it's beautiful. Most movies look real anyway, so this just makes it special.

[@thg_2728]

Lurklen perfectly said

[@crankydeer7489]

Lurklen get my eyes checked 😅😅😅

[@florafloraflora5567]

Pixel-HD yesss this was what i was sayying!!

[@hannahbange5730]

I thought that was Katy Perry and Spider-Man

[@kenp3L]

1:41 Unrealistic. Pearls are strung with knots between each bead and its neighbors specifically so that if the strand breaks that only one bead can be lost on the floor and that a scene like this cannot take place.

[@sceneandseenful]

She looks like Rooney Mara and sounds like Cate Blanchett.

[@sofialovescaligula]

And the way he looked at her is the way all girls want to be looked at~ oh it’s so romantic ❤️

[@liamshaughnessy6246]

Even though people hate on this movie I love this version!

[@THELANKANCOMRADE]

Liam Shaughnessy what people ?

[@4_free73]

The first dialogue sequence is terribly edited. You don’t have to cut to a close up every time someone speaks, and the constant cuts back and forth are enough to make some sick. Reliance on closeups in dialogue is a huge problem in modern filmmaking.

[@runner9528]

Why does it look weird?

[@goobi3780]

This scene is a pretty good example of show not tell. Well, an example of how NOT to do that. Just having Jordan tell Nick all of this. especially the part about the parties being a front to attract Daisy, takes away the aha-moment you'd get if they hinted at it instead of outright saying it. FUCKNIG TERRIVLBEL
