“But not a single one of the sparkling hundreds that enjoyed his hospitality attended the funeral. And from daisy, nit a flower”. This line broke me...
It should not break your heart. Instead, it should enlighten your heart. It teaches us that "Nobody care about you unless you care about yourself". It is job of unfaithful and conscienceless people to stab on the back of faithful people and they do this job wholeheartedly because nobody wants to stay unemployed.
When this movie ended in the cinema I remember me and everyone else in the audience completely silent. For like 30 seconds. No one got up, no one spoke. Damn, this movie left its mark...
unrelated movie entirely but i associated the ending of this year's Oppenheimer with The Great Gatsby in theatres. there was a good minute of dead silence. no one moved, no one spoke. we all just kind of sat there and soaked it in. honestly, i cried. i still cry watching it now. jay deserved so much better than what he got, he was so pure. i'm named after the man, and i wear it with pride.
gatsby is so innocent. for a grown ass man who comes from poverty and fought in a war to believe you can go back against time and society - it's too beautiful. I would have loved him too. at least he had nick - one person who could see his pure heart.
It’s amazing how Fitzgerald accurately perceived how America specifically was slowly becoming corrupt and morally irresponsible, and how the American dream is constantly changing and therefore in-achievable
It can be argued that America was corrupt from the start though. No matter how you look at it the US is built on stolen land, it was only colonized in the first place in pursuit of riches. America is built on greed, and so this is the price we pay.
@@cai1273 every society on earth is greedy. it's a human flow, not just an american one. For all it's problems america was and still is a good place to live and make something of yourself no matter who you are, which is why it's the number 1 target for immigrants from all over the world
It's achievable, though it requires hard-work and a bit of luck. The trick is setting out to find it with a clear goal in mind. There is no unified, objective "dream," for that differs from person to person. Though, the idealism is quite inspiring.
The thing of the ending of this story that I like is how it shows how the real world is. Just like Gatsby, when you have money you will have many friends but once you are down, you are on your own and then you see who your friends really are.
KinoWriting she doesn't come back. She hides in her wealth and corruption afterward. In a deleted scene it shows a powerful scene from the book. Nick meets Tom again after gatsby dies and Tom says that gatsby deserved everything that happened to him. Then it shows Tom buying pearls again which displays how he and daisy wreck things in people's life then flee into their wealth
Daisy didn’t deserve Gatsby, she deserved her cheating husband Oh my she made me so angry Gatsby thought she really loved him but in reality I believe she was just using him I feel bad for nick the most, he had a best friend, His only friend die .
It’s more like he loved the image of himself as a rich, succesfull man that he somehow conveyed into ,,loving” Daisy. But his love was also shallow. It was basically indirect egocentricism.
@@GrubKiller436 why do you think so? I think maybe he had an infatuation with her when he was younger, and some of that infatuation perhaps lasted, but I wouldn’t describe that as love.
In a way I love the movie version because it shows just how lonley gatsby was and how despite being surrounded by people his entire life he had no one that really knew him except Nick (even though they'd only been friends 3 months) the book shows how gatsby is seen to be higher than the rest of society as everyone's heard of him and he doesn't get into trouble with the law despite running an illegal business. His father at the end shows how he was just a normal person and due to his idealistic views and his greed for money and daisy he ended up dying. So I like both versions for completely different reasons
I don't know why this movie is badly criticised and lowly rated. I think it's amazing and does justice to the novel completely. Thanks for uploading this beautiful, very moving scene.
@@ShaNaNa242 The soundtrack is a work of art. The way they managed to mix modern music in with the antiquated aesthetics of the film, and have it still feel genuine, is a mark of brilliance. If you don't like rap/modern music, whatever, but it was done incredibly well regardless of personal taste.
Easily one of my favourite movies ever, and definitely one of the greatest novel->film efforts ever. I'm, confident it will be reappraised in time, just like the novel itself, and will become a classic of film as it deserves.
***** Only because he was an idealist surrounded by a bunch of hyenas...I agree that I got frustrated with the character because he couldn't see what was right in front of him...he idealized Daisy and was blind to what she really was, but it's not his fault he was caught up in that mess, he was a victim of that society, a dreamer who got crushed by the world. His flaws were his naivete, and his hopeful idealism and refusal to give up on someone that wasn't worth his shoe.
He was indeed naive, because he thought money could buy him inclusion into their society, and of course it never would. In the end, Nick disdains all except for Gatsby, which shows that Gatsby was the only that was different. Gatsby pursued wealth because he lived in a world in which it reigns supreme. Gatsby pursued the wealth in order to be accepted by Daisy, not the other way around. He idolized her and thought the only way he'd be worthy of her was to be as rich as her...he was blinded by his love and couldn't see how shallow people like her were. I don't believe she ever truly intended on leaving Tom, especially after Tom revealed how Gatsby had acquired his wealth...by illegal activities. At that point, Daisy wanted nothing to do with him anymore. It's also important to add that it wasn't the real Daisy Gatsby wanted, it was his own idealized version of her, which of course only existed in his mind. Gatsby was a dreamer, and he approached every aspect of life as a dreamer, not just the financial part (a good example of his naivete as a dreamer is when he says "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!". He was in love with the idea of having true love and he was obsessed with making things in his life the idyllic way he thought they should be, but he was foolish to think he could ever be a part of the aristocratic and wealthy society. The novel is a commentary on that society, as well as on the man who couldn't see its true colors, because like Nick said, "he was the most hopeful person I ever met, and likely will ever meet".
@@AlexisStreams The most tragic part of this movie is that Nick was just a pawn in everyone's plan. The only one who didn't use him was Jordan. Tom used him as a reason to get away from Daisy so he could see Myrtle, Gatsby used him to find his way back to Daisy. Daisy used him once which was to have him stay so Tom wouldn't leave for "The Yale Club", during the beginning of the movie. Nick is probably one of the most tragic characters in literary history, he gained nothing in the end, but he lost so much.
@@crippledcrusader1321 You do have a good point........But i still don't like how Gatsby (Don't know why i typed Jordan, must have had Jordan from The Wolf Of Wall street on the brain) Died not knowing what Nick had seen
As much as i usually love it when a movie follows the book completely then i gotta say that i really loved the whole Nick being a writer idea... For some reason it made it feel like i was reading the actual book again... And i enjoyed the movie as much as i enjoyed reading the book for the first time...
Are you sure? I have never seen or heard of such a thing... Yet it would make perfect sense in a way since he is the narrator.... Also i am sorry for the late answer i usually dont look through my comments since most of them are about what an idiot i am for not supporting Donald Trump
They basically became best friends. Like brothers almost. Nick was the only 1 who didn’t care about the money. He just genuinely enjoyed being his friend.

It's absolutely ridiculous how relevant this story is even in modern times. Fitzgerald write a damn classic, and the final words of the book go down as some of the most poignant ever spoken. This story is not one of merely ambition and betrayal; it's a story of the human spirit and the inevitability of heartbreak and disaffection. The final words seem haunting and sad, but in many ways they are uplifting in a sense. We as humans are predisposed to "continue on" in our lives despite all evidence to the contrary; only a minuscule few of us reach stardom or grand importance, yet almost all of us harbor the illusion in some way. That direct conflict between what reality shows us and what we like to believe is at the heart of what Fitzgerald was trying to convey.
@@c0mpu73rguy "The book did aged poorly" How so? It's generally considered a classic in literature. I would say it "aged" quite well in literary and academic circles.
@@nikkingman That sentiment drives me nuts. The "love story" portion is but a plot vehicle that drives the bigger picture/meaning. Ultimately, it's a story about unrequited ambition and persistence.
I recommend the 10-minute video 'Gatsby: The Perfect Fake' by the philosopher John Gray. Gray beautifully explains how Gatsby is like all of us; in love with the impossible idea of bringing back a past that's lost to us (i.e. childhood, lost romance, the 'good old days', etc) even if it kills us.
Moral of the story, 1. women are just as bad as men. (Even though allot of them say we are terrible) 2. men dont think before they act and think love is everything. 3. Sometimes the people you think care about you might not really care about u. 4. Friendship is more important than anything. 5. Love yourself first before you are ready to love anyone else. 6. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, you have to let go of the past and move forward.
This isn't really a love story at all. Fitzgerald was writing about a topic far greater than Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. It's about the human condition and our innate desire for "more"....really has nothing to do with love itself. Fitzgerald simply used the relationship angle to convey a far bigger point.
Trey Warnock And this I think is the most important theme of them all... A hopeful optimist expecting the best out of life, and of other people, and instead getting reality. It's quite cruel but beautiful.
'We had all come to Gatsby's and guessed at his corruption while he stood before us, with his incorruptible dream' Perfect. I know this is paraphrased but god it fits so beautifully here.
This movie shows you what people are really like. They only come around to take. Never to give. And when they can no longer use you, they forget you even existed. As if you were never there. As if you never did anything for them. And it's on to the next target. I love this ending because in my experience... As sad as it is and as painful as it is to see it. This is exactly how life is.
Gatsby just wanted to live a decedent life. He had good intentions but he wanted to seem like an actual person to the women he loved instead of being a joke who didnt have meaningless paper to sink in his pockets "rich girls dont date poor boys" the quote that haunted him, but when he finally clucted the thing he wanted the most he sunk back in to despair. so sad
We're all grasping for our own personal 'green light' even if subconscious, and in doing so fail to notice the utter futility of its physical and worldly chains.
He was the most hopeful man in the world. He hoped so badly that all his efforts would mean that he would finally get the woman that he loved, but in the end, he failed to realize that it was just that, a hope, a longing. He could only look at the green light and be haunted by this ironically ruining feeling of hope, his longing for her was all he had when it came down to it, and all this hope became his downfall in the end because he couldn't realize that there wasn't anything other than that hope. Such a haunting, beautifully tragic story.
The ending makes me sick to my stomach. It's a kind of depressing feeling that I don't think I have ever felt after watching a movie. I want to vomit....
So we beat on, boats against the current... Borne back ceaselessly into the past. No matter how much we try to forget.. To grasp our dream.. Our past will follow us, holding us back... And so we beat on....
marieke this almost two years old, but I read this my junior year. My teacher did a great job throughout this book. I never was not interested. But I’m aware how some teachers can really kill the book.
Just finished the film tonight. Nicky went from being clean shaved to having a rugged stubble. That symbolises him giving up hope in the morality of humanity.
This scene never failed to make my tears released ... such mix between fighting against time , society , cold hearts , missed loyality ,, broken innocence ......... " he had come such a long way , Tomorrow we will run faster .. "
I remember absolutely hating this book Senior year, but the more the class read it, the more I appreciated it (teacher made ya read this shit 5 times). Now, four years later, I actually really like the story lol
“But he did not know it was already behind him” To the fellas out there don’t dictate yourselves via emotion like Gatsby did. He lost everything because of it.
This brings back memories of my Sophomore year of high school. It came at the most perfect time in my life. This scene definitely did the last page of the book justice.
I think the only person who is capable of making a BioShock/BioShock Infinite movie is Baz Luhrman. He really does a great job representing the style. While watching this movie, especially the ending, all I could think about was BioShock.
Yeah that he is good at however if i he ever made a Bioshock Movie he would problably use modern music or something stupid like that to try and seem artistic like he did with this movie
***** Yeah at least in those moments... I hadn't really thought of that actually but either way i do agree on the costume part... You know i even think the movie won (Or at least was nominated) For an academy award for the costumes :)
This movie has a special air to it- maybe it’s the violin at the end, or the typed out words at the end of the quote. This whole scene is just very unique & amazingly done.
"I remember how we had all come to Gatsby's and guessed at his corruption. While he stood before us, concealing an incorruptible dream." The beauty of this movie and this story and how heartwrenching it is....
I wish I could say 95% of humanity aren't like Tom and Daisy, but it too obvious they are. People will always run back to a decorum of artifice and lose the genuine sense of their integrity and character, and in their bliss, they will truly believe they never did anything wrong while others suffer for their selfishness.
This movie really resonated with me, I came from incredibly crappy depths, born with autism, fathered by abuse and hate, and socially outcasted, yet I never gave up, eventually I overcame it all, yet despite the height I reached, honors, social skills, and success in my passion of art, everyone of my contemporaries still seemed to look down on me. I looked up to them for years, but only until I became one of them did I realize the mistake. Ultimately the pursuit of something that far inspired me to go the length, but equally it isn’t obtainable. Focus on what really matters, the self and others, leave those whom fail to see anything other than your origins behind, they’ll only drag you back to the past.
I love how many orginial quotes of the book they incorporated in the movie to honor the source material and emphaszise the poetic masterpiece Fitzgeralds words built within this book.
many think the story of the Great Gatsby is a love story, while really it's so much more than that. It's critical commentary of the society Fitzgerald lived in, a stunning and harsh of the modern day high bourgeoisie being as he wrote "irresponsible" that is to say disdainful of the poor they exploit and on a broader form their general carelessness for those who surround them. Daisy is the perfect example of this "rotten crowd", she only *wants* something without having to suffer the consequences, since she never had to suffer any in her whole life. For her life was handed on a plate the moment she was born, whereas Jay started from nothing, and had to climb everything to become Gatsby, only to be rejected by people like Daisy who were worth a million times less than him. It's absolutely not surprising Daisy didn't come to Jay's funeral, why would she face the consequences of her actions, especially now that there is nothing to gain from it ? And its also a human tale, the story of a man with limitless optimism, who clang to the hope of a better tomorrow, a man with a golden, perfect but unreachable dream, a man with a green light. I hate to see that movie (and thus the novel behind it) being reduced to the fucking "romantic" section in streaming service like Netflix, like that's completely missing the point of the entire film.
The great Gatsby is about wanting, the ever elusive insatiability of lifes expectations, the disappointment and disaffection of the unattainable ideal that motivates us as desire and that makes our present effort only about an unattainable future that once arrived will again be our present consigning us to the past.....I think

1. women are just as bad as men. (Even though allot of them say we are terrible)
2. men dont think before they act and think love is everything.
3. Sometimes the people you think care about you might not really care about u.
4. Friendship is more important than anything.
5. Love yourself first before you are ready to love anyone else.
6. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, you have to let go of the past and move forward.
Ethan Solorzano these are all true
This isn't really a love story at all. Fitzgerald was writing about a topic far greater than Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. It's about the human condition and our innate desire for "more"....really has nothing to do with love itself. Fitzgerald simply used the relationship angle to convey a far bigger point.
Trey Warnock And this I think is the most important theme of them all... A hopeful optimist expecting the best out of life, and of other people, and instead getting reality. It's quite cruel but beautiful.
Ethan Solorzano actually no babe the moral of the story is that the American dream is absolutely bullshit
Brigadier Gutsy There is nothing wrong with loving yourself. It becomes narcissism when you believe you are better then others.
Daisy didn't attend .-.
In the book she and tom moved out of town before the funeral
+michael aphtspandi that was in a deleted scene, search it up and you will be able to see that part
death to thots
In the book only 3 people attended his funeral
Daisy was a gold digger. She just cared about money. She was only interested in Gatsby again because she learned he was rich.
'We had all come to Gatsby's and guessed at his corruption while he stood before us, with his incorruptible dream' Perfect. I know this is paraphrased but god it fits so beautifully here.
This movie shows you what people are really like. They only come around to take. Never to give. And when they can no longer use you, they forget you even existed. As if you were never there. As if you never did anything for them. And it's on to the next target. I love this ending because in my experience... As sad as it is and as painful as it is to see it. This is exactly how life is.
Gatsby just wanted to live a decedent life. He had good intentions but he wanted to seem like an actual person to the women he loved instead of being a joke who didnt have meaningless paper to sink in his pockets
"rich girls dont date poor boys" the quote that haunted him, but when he finally clucted the thing he wanted the most he sunk back in to despair. so sad
Deshawn King well he was a decedent at the end...
Thing about dreams...they out weigh reality's expectations, people change and are cruel for it, life is not a fairytale that much we know
Magnificent book, magnificent movie, magnificent moral of the story.
My God how I just want to give Gatsby and Nick a hug.
Give Gatsby an Oscar and give nick a hug XD
I would give both of them a hug. It’s a shame that the real moral people are the ones with the least recognition from everyone else.
So we beat on, boats against the current, ceaselessly into the past
We're all grasping for our own personal 'green light' even if subconscious, and in doing so fail to notice the utter futility of its physical and worldly chains.
This scene killed me
The last line in this novel is the most beautiful ending line I have ever read.
Still one of the most beautiful passages in the history of English literature. "Gatsby believed in the Green Light...."
gatsby is honestly someone i see as being too good, to pure yknow? bad things happen to good people
he was living in the past, daisy didn’t deserve him. he could’ve meet someone so better
@@steph.li3 so true
He was the most hopeful man in the world. He hoped so badly that all his efforts would mean that he would finally get the woman that he loved, but in the end, he failed to realize that it was just that, a hope, a longing. He could only look at the green light and be haunted by this ironically ruining feeling of hope, his longing for her was all he had when it came down to it, and all this hope became his downfall in the end because he couldn't realize that there wasn't anything other than that hope. Such a haunting, beautifully tragic story.
The ending makes me sick to my stomach. It's a kind of depressing feeling that I don't think I have ever felt after watching a movie. I want to vomit....
People only appreciated Gatsby for what he had, Nick is the only one who appreciated Gatsby for who he was.
So we beat on, boats against the current... Borne back ceaselessly into the past.
No matter how much we try to forget.. To grasp our dream.. Our past will follow us, holding us back...
And so we beat on....
It is true
it appears that i have a wet substance coming out of my eye.....
Cum?
Acid.
Cyanide?
Tears.
semen?
fucking reading this shit in school now pissed off Gatsby dies what the fuck
Same
m e e c o s actually it's a great book. School destroys the magic a little bit..
marieke this almost two years old, but I read this my junior year. My teacher did a great job throughout this book. I never was not interested. But I’m aware how some teachers can really kill the book.
Just finished reading this for English lmao
@@nuraz5202 yea bro I’m old now this comment was posted in the Fall of 2016 lmao
nick cared about gatsby more than daisy ever did,. this scene was so beautifully constructed
the ending was so sad.i cant belive gatsby would want her.
But atleast he didn't die knowing the true daisy that would of made it worse
I almost feel like crying everytime I see this scene
it's like the world is gonna end. That's how I feel everytime I see this video.
Just finished the film tonight. Nicky went from being clean shaved to having a rugged stubble. That symbolises him giving up hope in the morality of humanity.
I was wrong about this movie. It was beautifully done.
The first time I watched this movie I was shaken, after it ended I did not speak for 5 minutes, I sat there and took it all in, then cried
Should read the novel
This is my favorite movie. The ending made me cry and touched my heart. It was just amazing. :'(
"his dream must have seem so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it"... it physically hurts me
This scene never failed to make my tears released ... such mix between fighting against time , society , cold hearts , missed loyality ,, broken innocence ......... " he had come such a long way , Tomorrow we will run faster .. "
and then I was no longer spider man... LMFAO can't get over the fact he will always be spiderman to me
KJ Gulyban Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield are better
Don’t get me wrong Tobey is a great peter but bad Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield is a bad peter but great Spider-Man. Tom Holland is amazing at both
Yazan Callas no just no
Yazan Callas lol Andrew Garfield is probably the worst out of the three for sure
I disagree that Andrew is the worst and I also disagree that Toby is a bad Spiderman
I remember absolutely hating this book Senior year, but the more the class read it, the more I appreciated it (teacher made ya read this shit 5 times). Now, four years later, I actually really like the story lol
You know when a book has accomplished it's job... And this is a perfect example of that.......
“But he did not know it was already behind him”
To the fellas out there don’t dictate yourselves via emotion like Gatsby did. He lost everything because of it.
Loyalty is in short supply these days.
Daisy made 23 accounts to unlike this video.
This film exceeded my expectations :-)
I want that house. I. Want. That. House.
One of the few movies that really made me emotional
if F. Scott Fitzgerald had been alive to see this version of his book I think he would’ve loved it.
Anyone else throw a tantrum when he died and Daisy didn't do a thing? Cause I sure did.
This brings back memories of my Sophomore year of high school. It came at the most perfect time in my life. This scene definitely did the last page of the book justice.
Nick ... the friend we wish we all had ...
Thanks for the upload! I simply adore this final scene... It's so touching and beautiful.
This Is My Absolute Favorite Movie And Book
I think the only person who is capable of making a BioShock/BioShock Infinite movie is Baz Luhrman. He really does a great job representing the style. While watching this movie, especially the ending, all I could think about was BioShock.
ItsVeachieBro ikr me too
Yeah that he is good at however if i he ever made a Bioshock Movie he would problably use modern music or something stupid like that to try and seem artistic like he did with this movie
***** Yeah at least in those moments... I hadn't really thought of that actually but either way i do agree on the costume part... You know i even think the movie won (Or at least was nominated) For an academy award for the costumes :)
ItsVeachieBro I was thinking the same
This movie has a special air to it- maybe it’s the violin at the end, or the typed out words at the end of the quote. This whole scene is just very unique & amazingly done.
I cried over and over watching this part of the movie i watched it last night with my aunt
same .__.
"I remember how we had all come to Gatsby's and guessed at his corruption. While he stood before us, concealing an incorruptible dream." The beauty of this movie and this story and how heartwrenching it is....
Nicks voice is so calming
So basically they only cared about the money not his pride
this scene gets me every time
One of the most beautifully written pieces in all of literature. I love this part so much. I always come back to it
I wish I could say 95% of humanity aren't like Tom and Daisy, but it too obvious they are. People will always run back to a decorum of artifice and lose the genuine sense of their integrity and character, and in their bliss, they will truly believe they never did anything wrong while others suffer for their selfishness.
"they were careless people, tom and daisy"
This movie really resonated with me, I came from incredibly crappy depths, born with autism, fathered by abuse and hate, and socially outcasted, yet I never gave up, eventually I overcame it all, yet despite the height I reached, honors, social skills, and success in my passion of art, everyone of my contemporaries still seemed to look down on me. I looked up to them for years, but only until I became one of them did I realize the mistake. Ultimately the pursuit of something that far inspired me to go the length, but equally it isn’t obtainable. Focus on what really matters, the self and others, leave those whom fail to see anything other than your origins behind, they’ll only drag you back to the past.
I can't tell how much this movie broke my heart when I first saw it in theatre. It was an amazing moment, i never forgot this story.
man who left the onions out
I feel like Gatsby every single day lately.
Is there a better summarising paragraph of a novel than scott Fitzgerald's here... beautiful.
The ending scene when the violin music starts makes me cry always. I do never cry for films, but this scene.. is so powerful.
I remember when I was in high school, my english teacher told us that the book predicted the great depression.
I loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND of this movie
ME TOO
in the end when nick writes the great on gatsby it really makes my heart heavy
Everything in this movie is so deep, it has so many interpretation , the dialogue, the scenes, the characters , we have to read between lines ,
The richness of your life should be mirrored in how you are remembered in death.
Nick was so right when he said that Tom & Daisy were careless people
So many men are like gatsby living in regrets.
The text is so well constructed! Really a great writer Fitzgerald
Just read the book, movie looks amazing, the house looks so much different than what i imagined it. Great story
Actually in the book one person attended Gatsby's funeral: his father. He and Nick were the only people that were there
well nick, his father, owl eyes, and like a prince from somewhere i forgot but i’m not sure if they cared
@@serendipitoussimon7927 yep, that's more accurate
And I thought the novel hit hard. The way the last line was told in the movie, that hit me. Especially when Gatsby got shot.
Just the sound and presence of the green light makes the ending 10x more emotional
Damn that ending is depressing...
This was a really magnificent video. So amazing :-) :-) :-) :-)
I would of truly loved to have a friend like Gatsby, I think anyone would.
And nick
I love how many orginial quotes of the book they incorporated in the movie to honor the source material and emphaszise the poetic masterpiece Fitzgeralds words built within this book.
many think the story of the Great Gatsby is a love story, while really it's so much more than that. It's critical commentary of the society Fitzgerald lived in, a stunning and harsh of the modern day high bourgeoisie being as he wrote "irresponsible" that is to say disdainful of the poor they exploit and on a broader form their general carelessness for those who surround them. Daisy is the perfect example of this "rotten crowd", she only *wants* something without having to suffer the consequences, since she never had to suffer any in her whole life. For her life was handed on a plate the moment she was born, whereas Jay started from nothing, and had to climb everything to become Gatsby, only to be rejected by people like Daisy who were worth a million times less than him. It's absolutely not surprising Daisy didn't come to Jay's funeral, why would she face the consequences of her actions, especially now that there is nothing to gain from it ?
And its also a human tale, the story of a man with limitless optimism, who clang to the hope of a better tomorrow, a man with a golden, perfect but unreachable dream, a man with a green light.
I hate to see that movie (and thus the novel behind it) being reduced to the fucking "romantic" section in streaming service like Netflix, like that's completely missing the point of the entire film.
Just Finished Watching The Movie In English Class. I Kind Of Cried.
That was such a sad scene..I watched this for the first time in 2019 in TV and I literally cried watching this
The great Gatsby is about wanting, the ever elusive insatiability of lifes expectations, the disappointment and disaffection of the unattainable ideal that motivates us as desire and that makes our present effort only about an unattainable future that once arrived will again be our present consigning us to the past.....I think
Truuu
