The protagonist of the story, Gatsby, is played by "Sweet Tea", his image and temperament and the Gatsby in the movie are integrated, arrogant, cold and fond of retro literary poetry, showing his temperament as an exceptional gentleman. Selena plays the literary girl Shano, and the encounter and conversation between the two people is like a resonance in the depths of the soul, which makes this literary love add more aesthetic atmosphere.
Gatsby came out of high society, always wanted to get rid of the hypocrisy and bourgeoisie of high society, he has been pursuing a soul mate who can reach the spiritual level to reach resonance, he is a full literary youth. But his girlfriend Ashley is the complete opposite of him. Ashley is sweet-looking, lively and cheerful, and well-off, but she pursues exactly what Gatsby hates, she loves vanity bags, worldly success and fame.
The director cleverly makes two people with vastly different personalities become boyfriend and girlfriend, which is ironic that two people who do not have a common topic together is a joke, and also implies that the final ending of such a couple can never go together. Their disagreements arose in the decision to spend the weekend in New York.
Both men were looking forward to this trip to New York, Gatsby was looking forward to admiring the local architecture, admiring the paintings of the masters, listening to Broadway songs and dances, etc., while Ashley was looking forward to interviewing well-known directors in New York, and by interviewing big directors, he let himself enter high society and make himself famous.
Although the two people go hand in hand but do not have different hearts, after arriving in New York, Ashley not only interviewed the well-known big director as she wished, but also got the appreciation of the big director, not only met the screenwriter, and went with the screenwriter to catch the adulteress, and when the night was about to fall, she also met the popular movie star, and the movie star also invited her to spend a good night with her. The admiration and admiration of these three men for her made Ashley feel that she had reached the peak of her life, and her life was about to soar.
A heavy rain made Ashley wake up like a dream, and when the movie star's girlfriend arrived, she returned to Gatsby in someone else's coat, Gatsby did not show anger and blame, but calmly played music, thinking alone about the people he met on this day and what happened.
Gatsby is hopefully planning to wait for his girlfriend to finish the interview and take a romantic trip to New York with her, but because of his girlfriend's default, he can only walk alone on the vast streets of New York. On the way, he meets his ex-girlfriend's sister Shano and has a kiss with her. After that, he had to go to his mother's banquet, where he saw the other side of his mother, and after a deep conversation with her, his relationship with her was eased to a certain extent.
A rain in New York extinguished Ashley's dreams, but it made Gatsby clear his heart. Although Shano did not know Gatsby, her sister would often tell Shano about what had happened between her and Gatsby, and in the process Shano had a certain degree of familiarity with Gatsby, and during the brief time together in New York, both of them seemed to have a good feeling for each other.
Shano understands the meaning of Gatsby's retro poetry and the meaning behind the music, and it seems that Shano is the love that Gatsby pursues in his heart, compared to Ashley. In a carriage, Gatsby broke up with celebrity poetry, but Ashley, who knew nothing about literature, could not understand what Gatsby was saying, and Gatsby got off the handsome car, as if he wanted to end this awkward chat and hurry to the next appointment.
At the end of the film, Gatsby runs to wait for Shano, and Shano is approaching, and the two people meet their eyes, hug each other affectionately and kiss deeply, still in the rainy day of that evening...
Unexpected love is always gratifying, and if you can still meet a person who resonates with you in the depths of your soul, it is definitely a blessing from heaven. In love, each of us wishes to find a soul mate like Gatsby.
