You Can´t Repeat The Past (The Original Opening of Movie The Great Gatsby)

[@HalfEpicTV]

This has to be one of the best introductions to a movie

[@brantleylansing7696]

Ikr

[@salmantorrico690]

the best perfect!

[@westingtyler1]

this is one of the best intros to a movie. Also, Fellowship of the Ring. Best opening credits? Watchmen. all epic af, and I know I'm missing at least one other great one. also return of the king, as the logo comes in. also goblet of fire and spiderman 2000.

[@AlexMaizus]

Half Epic It’s a shame the movie doesn’t hold up after. Really really a shame.

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofaa115]

Such a beautiful, eerie opening.

[@kylarawlins-]

I remember watching this for the first time, and it kept my interest from beginning to end. I was always on the edge of my seat from the excitement.

[@mikelajacobson9638]

lovely lins me too. but how was gatsbys dream "already behind him"? didn't daisy say she loved him? or was that another illusion? or was it that she still loves him?

[@themcusbiggestfan3210]

At the end of the movie, the gates transition once again. The end credits finish off by turning into that retro vibe.

[@Arthirias]

I actually remember my thoughts seeing this opening in theatres: "Oh nice, the retro movie look is cool... ...oh wow such a nice transition.. Wow.... nice eerie mood.."

[@FilmSureelist97]

Seeing this in the theater was a 20s fever dream

[@N1ckUs]

This theme breaks my heart. It repeats during the most dramatic moments in the movie. And it fits them so well

[@Teriyaki-men]

Es lo más cercano a lo que pudo ser la intro de una película live action de Bioshock

[@owlpark_music]

The song is called 'Overture and Sanitarium' by Craig Armstrong :)

[@MrEnklave]

TheMusicMachine13 No, the song is called Can't Repeat The Past

[@BeeAnne01]

This always makes me want to cry it’s so beautiful but it sounds melancholic and painful :( absolutely fantastic intro! Makes me want to watch the movie again for the hundredth time 😂 so much love for this 💗

[@BassDroppah]

It is truly Great. :)

[@FilmSureelist97]

This opening is so beautiful and that melancholy tone fits so perfect with it. It gives you a feeling of good memories of the past you had but now your life is so dull and filled with sadness or grey areas.

[@Виктор-н7ш2н]

The opening scene of the movie symbolises the whole story of Gatsby’s life and dream Jazz music foreshadows to Jazz age - the time of recklessly opulent and lavish lifestyles Life lived, in fear is a life, half lived - foreshadows moral decline an itch for money, desire to take pleasure in squander and wickedness - determining qualities of the Jazz Age. The gold medal represents Gatsby after he passed through the wartime; The change of grey to gold & passing through golden gates symbolises Gatsby’s achievement of wealth and status and building up the illusionary image, while being stained by money earned through criminal activity and by corrupted upper class society As the medal bears towards the darkness this symbolises how Gatsby, enchanted by Daisy rushed towards her; and when the medal disappears in the glowing green light, this stands for Gatsby losing himself in this rush after his dream - shows the emptiness inside his dream The green light was just an illusion, that charmed him, but eventually cheated on him and demolished him.

[@RedHood001-KA]

Brilliant. Awesome attention to detail.

[@Win090949]

Wow Genius

[@chris7285]

Gatsby is such a badass. He’s got class!

[@bruh_rick]

My favorite parts of this movie was actually the opening and the credits...learned a lot from the master

[@mashy712]

Love the Art Deco

[@scrubdaddy3000]

its like we're opening and dusting off an old forgotten story. we can see how old it is. that its been neglected, and we know nothing other than how long ago it happened. suddenly, the doorknob appears. and the camera stills. we see something that is familiar to those forgotten souls. we don't know this yet, but it is not a movie logo. it intrigues us. it warms the old heart of our long forgotten narrator and his friend, their spirits still live in this tale. and as they wake up, the gold comes back, and the doorknob beckons us to enter their world. (edit: i also noticed that while everything turns gold, the doorknob stays black & white, and becomes the green light. maybe symbolizing gatsby himself completing the doomed cycle of an unattainable dream leading to his demise, and that he could only reach that light as a distant memory, to us, the audience)

[@ProfMobilux1]

Wow, the opening scene is just perfekt. I like this sad Musik at the beginning. It is as sad as the Story about gatsbys dream "that is already behind him".

[@mikelajacobson9638]

ProfMobilux1 how is his dream behind him? didn't daisy say she loved him? isn't that what he wanted?

[@christopherwilliams2354]

Yeah but he needed her to tell Tom that she never loved him

[@Jade2781]

Actually a masterful opening

[@theedonny8314]

Whenever I watch this movie, it always reminds me of the Bioshock video game series, so good must play

[@unavailable7150]

Agreed

[@henrycharlesinniss7538]

"A LIFE LIVED IN FEAR, IS A LIFE HALF LIVED"

[@crisn565]

reminds me of the good old days of my past

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Reminds me of Fallout

[@colbycheese7794]

Such a great opening

[@vermillion707]

Con solo escuchar esa melodia te daa cuenta de que la pelicula te rompera el corazon, es como un susurro de despecho, un gemido de triateza, te sientes enamorado pero a la vez despechado...

[@shoaibbeg9702]

Tragic,right on from first scene

[@kwyjibo7911]

that zoom at 0:47 will never not be cool

[@aztecgladiator13]

I wish I can time travel

[@yehiaswedan]

You can't repeat the past

[@sarokcsiszolo]

its the best

[@hireegy]

First result for "Gatsby OST" is a playlist, and *this* track isn't part of it...why? When to me it is the one most memorable musical moments of the whole movie? Definitely, you can't repeat the past... 🕯️

[@holleyflax4010]

Whats song is?

[@AIRandomSongs]

Is it a theremin?

[@BassDroppah]

Horns and trumpets.

[@TheAnto1206]

what musical instrument is playing at the start?

[@thedude4813]

Tony P Sounds like some kind of hornpipe or some shit.

[@TheAnto1206]

Bad Day Reviews Thanks! I thought it couldve been a clarinet or something of that sort.

[@thedude4813]

Tony P I had researchers hired that told me after a week that it's some sort a an instrument or some shit. Money well spent.

[@ryancheney6841]

I really think some of the music was really honestly out of place for the time period the movie depicted I would have appreciated the movie just using old classic 20s music updated instead of using modern music that are both depicted as 20s music and in modern day format

[@OrionCinemas]

why is this opening so strong and so promising but the rest so disappointing. Aside from a few great scenes, the movie just loses the tone it set at the top. I thought i was watching an award contender until i saw how cheesy some of the party scenes were and how bland the introduction to east and west egg was. I had my hopes high for this one, and i think it could have been better.

[@GeorgeNCy]

It couldnt be better only if they added the cut scene where gatsbys dad visits him at his funeral.@

[@Captmushy]

The pacing was waaaay to fast too imo, Which i find to be incredibly funny considering its 2 and a half hours long lol

[@jackdonohue7893]

It's not dissapointing
