Out of the many people that attended gatsbys partys, not a single one of them went to his funeral or even offered a flower. Just comes to show out of the many people we call "friends" only the real ones end up showing in the most difficult of times. ),:

Gatsby reaching for the Green Light is probably the most famous representation in all of literature of human longing for something that we cannot have, but the important thing is the striving, the reaching for something, having the ambition to achieve, a great American value. We all have something that we are longing for that we cannot or will not have. This is one one of the reasons why The Great Gatsby is THE Great American novel.

[@micahltaylor739]

It should just a good human story.

Don‘t forget Ernest Hemingway ;)

[@tylermckinley4014]

Excellent point. F. Scott Fitzgerald also wrote a story called "Winter Dreams," which is similar to the Great Gatsby in terms of its themes and symbols. I'd strongly recommend that everyone read it.

[@pinelopiliraki3660]

The green light was behind him all this time...and then it shows Nick...Makes sense. Nick was the one who truly loved and appreciated Gatsby.

[@jonathanswift468]

I think it's related to the fact that it was the past what he was pursuing. There is a line in the movie from Nick: "You can´t repeat the past". Gatsby was trying to achieve something it was already behind him, the past years, those we miss, those that are never coming back. There is a quote from Mary Ann Evans, aka George Eliot, the author of Middlemarch, it says: "a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present. It is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame (...) like when we look through the window of a lighted room and the objects to which we turn our backs are reflected before us, instead of seeing the grass and trees". I like your perspective as well.

[@pinelopiliraki3660]

@@jonathanswift468 Yeah, your interpretation is more plausible for the book. It's just that in this particular movie that when Nick stops talking about the green light it cuts back to him. And...well,it's true that Nick was Gatsby's only true friend.

If I remember correctly, Fitzgerald died believing that The Great Gatsby had been a failure, correct? If I am right, then I appreciate the green light as Nick writes the title. It is a bit ironic because the green light represents the desire to reach the unreachable. In Fitzgerald's head, I'm sure he thought The Great Gatsby would not get any success, but he did.

[@gamerdude10101]

I heard that Fitzgerald thought this would have been his best work of art and believed he really outdid himself once he wrote it. I also believe that he was disappointed when the novel did not do so well after it was published. It wasn't until after Fitzgerald's death that The Great Gatsby really got any major attention. This is what My English teacher told us anyways.

[@BruteZ7957]

So the green light was never reached. For it to be reached and to exist the reacher is needed.

[@katiegates23]

The man was a true marvel it makes me so sad he thought he died as a failure. The modern library edition they stamped discontinued on it in 1934 because even 9 years later it still was rough for him. His last royalty check was for only 14 dollars. Poor old sport.

[@yeehehehaw]

nick really was gatsby’s only true friend and the person who truly loved and cared about him.

[@dclark142002]

Not at all. Nick is clearly disingenuous about his actions after Gatsby's death...and he KNOWS the truth about the murder of Gatsby and does nothing about it. When Myrtle is being mourned by her husband...Nick says nothing to the police officer who is standing right there. He does nothing to stop Tom from influencing the husband. THIS is one of the great truths that most people miss in the book. Nick is an unreliable narrator, and is reproachful of himself for being just as much a failed friend as he accuses Daisy and Tom of being.

[@heilamwether8911]

@@lukeschofield574but that’s the problem; his narration is flawed, and that’s just human nature. he acts like he’s this unbiased man, when really, he’s just human, no better than most of us, and no different than any of us. That’s why his actions look neutral to us, when really, he’s also trying to paint himself in a better light. F.Scott Fitzgerald did a amazing job at depicting a biased, but clear perspective, one which paints a picture, but one that is also clouded in truths and lies. Amazing.

The heat of the hotel room where they fight was so well described...and the way that Fitzgerald could convey each character so well without wasting time. But this is the amazing thing about art...each person, on viewing it, brings their own self to the action...and therefore the value of the art to entertain is up to the audience as well. Do not feel unhappy that the book didn't make you feel but the movie did. That is ok.

The green light isn’t exactly about love, it’s about longing for something that can’t be done. It is really manifestations of gatsby’s unrealistic desires and expectations. He wishes can turn back the clock but that’s impossible no one can do that. Maybe you should seek meaning within things in life you already have that are more tangible and fulfilling.

I want you to know that you are incredible and are capable of wonders. What matters is your inside, not your exterior. Love yourself and cherish yourself. Words cannot explain how astonishing you are. You deserve care, love, and happiness, don't let anything make you feel otherwise. You may or you may not think that you are a failure but you are not, we are humans and we are bound to make mistakes so failures will come but that will give you the prize of what you have learned. Even if it may be a very small prize, it is very significant and important because you are amazing and deserving to learn and grow just as everyone else is. Please have appropriate action for anything that you know is wrong. Try and find professional or trusted help. Anything that seems bad or wrong in your life right now will get better.

The people in the world are so much more than what we know about them, not everyone opens up about the beautiful things and acts they have witnessed, not all those amazing doings are acknowledged. There is more to people than it seems. Please understand that and know that. If you feel like no one cares about you, know that I care about you. Keep your head up high and never give up. Together, we can be a better community. Stay safe, healthy, happy, kind, understanding, positive and strong. Have a great day.

Gatsby is such a tragic character, he grew up in a very poor atmosphere and fell in love with a person who probably didn't really love at him at all. Maybe Daisy loved him a little but she mostly cared about if the person she was going to married was rich and could provide for her. Overall he did it all for nothing because Daisy was never going to leave Tom, he was more secure in his wealth than Gatsby. As Tom was old money and Gatsby was new money, with new money there's a lot more anxiety because one day it the money could be there and the next day no money. With old money yes you might lose a few bucks but you still have enough to still live "the life" and build yourself back up.

The T is a J and the two E's are different. Am I the only one haunted by this?

[@pleasedtamaster7035]

It's kind of symbolic for the "J" standing for Jay Gatsby.

[@haleybabcock3462]

The T and E are in cursive

Does anyone notice that Tobey Maguire looks similar to F. Scott Fitzgerald?

[@bullymaguire8254]

People don't deserve this masterpiece...

Old sport!💔

Ok, so I enjoy this movie, and Tobey Maguire was a great Nick, but does it bother anyone else that he wrote two completely different variations of "T" and "E" in "The Great" at the end of the clip?

It's really sad because Gatbsy did everything to be with Daisy. He didn't have any money that he inherited so he took his time and made as much to buy a house opposite Daisy's. That must need a lot of money so he earned it through neferious ways. But he couldn't survive to reap his rewards because he never was destined to have Daisy or the money. However Tom had old money, never worked hard for it, cheated on Daisy and in the end he still had his money and Daisy. The difference between these two men is Gatsby had a heart of gold. Tom didn't. His ancestors must have earned that money through dubious ways too but he calls himself old money. What's the difference when you earned it. Either way it's money.

Major Moulin Rouge vibes in this scene.
