gatsby made atleast one true friend before dying

[@theolfactive677]

His only real friend...

[@Dark_Voice]

I dont think Nick was really a friend :)

[@hellofellas5661]

Dark Voice why

[@Dark_Voice]

Well I find that Nick was in love with Gatsby and maybe he was even gay or at least bisexual. But seeing as he wasnt really charmed by Daisy or Jordan I think he was gay. And Gatsby was his love.

[@mikeanderson9884]

Dark Voice that's kind of unlikely but you do you 😂

[@mariamhijazi4001]

It's so sad that not even one person attend his funeral, not even daisy. Nick truly is a good friend.

[@Mik3yu__]

3 of my friends say Nick was the worst character

[@GeorgeCibulka]

+Michael Urena Nick was the only good character.

[@GeorgeCibulka]

Sai Tadikonda To quote Fitzgerald, Gatsby turned out all right in the end. He was good at heart, but not necessarily in his actions.

[@alexwhite3830]

Nick was too gay to Gatsby so it kinda doesn't count

[@thealmightybipper3381]

In the book, I believe a few people showed up, but they didn't really care too much.

his dad came to see him in the book but they didn't add that in the movie

[@karensmith2046]

You have no idea what Fitzgerald was about or meant. The Great Gatsby is one of the finest novels ever written. Gatsby is not about a psychologically or physically thwarted person. It is about a lost soul. It is about the sinews of humans clawing for a world they never had, nor are ever meant to be. It is an epic poem about death.

[@kellysmith4625]

Well said. I, too, find Gatsby to be one of the finest novels written. There is a piece of all us within its story.

[@HafeedElbekkaoui]

"Gatsby believed in the green light ... The orgastic future that year by year receeds before us It eluded us then, but that is no matter, Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch our arms father, and one fine morning... So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past"

[@itzterx2339]

What it is meaning?

[@troymcneal7371]

@@itzterx2339 Literally that life moves on. Gatsby died and Nick could not move on like the others up to the point hat he is in a mental hospital. This quote is him realizing that life always prevails over the dead.

[@sleepingdogpro]

@@troymcneal7371 Not quite. More like: Gatsby had an American dream, which is that he could work hard and get somewhere. It's a dream he never gave up on, even when it went wrong in every possible way, even when his roots pulled him back down, even when it killed him. "So we beat on, boats against the current" means all Americans are perpetually fighting for better even as the current pushes against us, even as the past defines us, still we hope. Even as the American dream exceeds our grasp, that just means we fight harder and reach farther. It's incredibly poignant and as real now as a hundred years ago; it's one of the most classic passages in American literature for a reason.

[@keygiver1816]

@@itzterx2339, for me the green light symbolizes the Source (and the Universal principles that is made of/us). To understand that green symbolism you can study alchemy and watch the movie Green Knight (2021) that connects the same idea through the form of the Nature Spirit. One of those Universal principles is Love which is again one of the main (visible to the audience) topics of the movies. Thus it is easier for the viewers to understand what and why Gatsby eagerly wanted to show Daisy the 'green light' (the real love). There is a scene in the movie where that did not happen and if you know that symbolism, you would have foreseen the tragic end. The anti-clockwise dancing of Daisy is another hint. You will see this motive in Green Knight and other movies. Ponder on the meaning of it. :) When you extrapolate the beautiful keys that Fitzgerald (un)consciously gave here (beyond the American Dream and the description of his own biographical experience), you would see the reasons for the never ending samsara (the rebirth cycle) - the attachments to the past and the inability to connect with 'your' Source and be the embodiment of the Universals will make the cycle look like a cunning trap and/or endless suffering/losing... :)

[@eric_automata6]

“He threw all those parties hoping she’d wander in one night...”

[@drunkenvampire4179]

The only genuine person who cared for him and sincerely understood him was Nick. Truly this theme song gives such a tragic vibe, because the one he loved never called or came to seem him. He died believing she had called him but it was Nick.. This movie is one of my top favorites..and oh never failed to make me cry even to this day.

[@tenshiworks3219]

"His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one."

[@Alyisneverblue]

Nearly shit myself when Nick started talking

[@redluca56]

Wearing earphones? yeah me too

[@yourneighborhooddeadpool488]

The fact that Gatsby’s last word was “Daisy” as he tried reaching for the green light. It’s truly very sad that he loved someone so much that he’d do anything for her. She used him and stabbed him in the back and just spat on his grave by not attending his funeral and just leaving with the man who doesn’t care about her. She really is a beautiful fool who is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“I’m glad it’s a daughter, and i hope she becomes a fool, a beautiful fool. That’s the best a woman can be.” Some of the writing in this movie is absolutely breathe taking. You can take it in so many different ways

[@wildboystv3013]

its pulled directly from the book.

[@11cabadger]

Read the book. You'll love it.

[@mionrugheart2340]

It's easier that way...sadly

[@sleepingdogpro]

It's not only directly from Fitzgerald's book, it's actually a line dreamed up by his writer wife Zelda who is equally amazing with words. You guys should read both F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's novels - all of the great writing from this film is a constant in their work.

[@kristenelizabethdraws]

@@sleepingdogpro I was going to type it, but you already typed it. Love them both so much, but Zelda needs so much more applauding - same with Jessie Chambers, whose book about DH Lawrence easily rivals his novels, and in many ways of emotional intelligence, surpasses them - same is true of Zelda's writing; these were really writing partnerships... still I find myself working to remember that. Hopefully now, it sticks. 💙

[@zFreeFallz]

Amazing film.. One of the saddest I've ever watched though, and I can truthfully say - with my hand on my heart that It's one of the only songs to ever bring tears to my eyes.

[@latuba27]

💯💯

oh boy- If that's the saddest you've seen I wouldn't venture too far into Cinema...

Sameee, I think it's really crazy that it turned out as sad as it did. Even movies that are predominantely sad aren't as sad. LOL

[@milvache]

I love this, Gatsby was purehearted but he did fall for the wrong girl and that ended with his departure from this cold and unforgiving world

I love all the comments here! I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with movie score.

[@noonereally6254]

Thank you for this comment..

[@GENERALRex]

Sadly....there arent many of us with good hearts anymore .people with good hearts forget how good we can be when someone we truly love breaks us completely then we become empty hearted and almost cant have a good heart anymore as much as we would like to show the world how fiercly we can love. We just were meant to just love the idea of love from afar ....

[@kanenas12]

I thought the same thing too.... I have met many ppl who are an imitation of Daisy and Tom. Some of my friends were like that. It has been so much time since I had that kind of ppl around me, but I always remember how awful they could be.

Incredible. Simply amazing. I can not get enough of this soundtrack. I have to listen to it every so often just to feel right. Everything feels right again after I listen to the songs played here. I take inspiration from the words Nick says here: " So we beat on boats against the current, born back ceaselessly into the past." Classic.

[@lovvxo9997]

I mean this Movie clearly points out, what we so often forget: Money and big partys aren‘t everything.. And also it is so sad, that everybody who came to his Party said things about him, that weren‘t even true and his real Dream was so beautiful and Full of Love...🌹

He is the personification of the American Dream. The American Dream is dead, this was the reality that many people ran into during the roaring 20's, my friend. They realized, no matter how much they had, no matter how much wealth was acquired, it does not bring happiness. Happiness comes from within. It is here and now that we feel, not in the present or in the future. Only we can make ourselves happy. Gatsby was the happiest chasing his dream, rather then when he actually had it in reach.
