Did you read "The Great Gatsby"?

In 2013, Buzz Ruchmann's "The Great Gatsby" entered the public, restored the Gatsby family's grand feast in a luxurious way, won the Following Year's Oscar for Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction, and in the play, Gatsby's "famous scene" of introducing himself to Nick at a party has also been paid tribute to many times in other film and television works.

Overall, the film restores the content of the book quite completely, appropriately speeds up the pace of the plot, in addition to the main line of Gatsby and Daisy, Nick and Jordan are both portrayed in one stroke. Handled at the final funeral, it wasn't perfect, and Gatsby's biological father and spiritual father, the white-bearded old man in the library, didn't show up. The film only replaces the existence of both with Dr. Exeborg's "Eye of God" in the Valley of Ashes.

In the early days of his work, Fitzgerald decided to name the book Trimalchio, an upstart who became extremely rich by selling wine and grain goods and slaves, as well as usury, and threw money, and famous for hosting a grand wine banquet, although denied by the editor, but he "you have a piece of money, you have only one article of value; If you are rich, others will value you. Just like your friends, who used to be just toads, now they are kings", the idea runs through the beginning and end of The Great Gatsby.

The powerful old nobles represented by Buchanan were vulnerable to the new capitalists, led by Gatsby, and could only proudly attack each other with their noble status as a clan. Jordan Baker, the representative of the new era women, wanders away from the old aristocracy, but his behavior is no different from Gatsby's, and he is the image of the new generation of ambitious capitalists.

In the book, it is more specific to show the characteristics of Jordan as another incarnation of Gatsby, both of which are clear about what they want, and can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Jordan is the real version of Gatsby, and Gatsby is the fantasy Jordan. So, while Nick admires Gatsby, he also likes the youthful Jordan. Although the author does not reject the act of unscrupulous means for the sake of victory, because Jordan is as selfish as Buchanan and Daisy, forgetting the original intention of the American Dream, the two finally have to go their separate ways. At the end of the original book, Jordan also arrogantly believes that he dumped Nick, which is very cute.

The idea of "the past that cannot be returned" conveyed by the film seems to be very different from the description of the original work "being washed back to the past by an endless torrent", but it is actually a description of Gatsby's life and a representation of real society.
