Leo DiCaprio as Gatsby has been a prominent figure in this movie, folks! This is one of the movies adapted from the novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald, where the screenplay of which has been completely identical with the movie. Indicating the treasure stone of many screenwriters including me that the lack of narrative literature is not wrong, but can be deducted from other sources that is probably the book. And if there isn’t a book? Then it depends on the film because in Gatsby, parties, buildings, the fever pitch of Wall Street, scenic extravaganza etc, are directly connected with the specific storytelling, progressively assimilated in scenes with scenic action. But literature is not necessary to begin. So, let’s just deal with this project in detail.
Gatsby gets to know Daisy and falls in love with her. They have great moments together. But then comes the war and Gatsby has told Daisy that she should wait for him up until the war ends and after of it until he can stand on his own feet and become something important. Daisy later on is getting married with another man, Tom. The film is being narrated by Nick Carraway as a voice over in a psychanalyst’s office, whereas the doctor motivates him to write it down as a story. Nick had been in Yale where he dreamed of becoming a writer but ended up selling bonds at Wall Street. Daisy is Nick’s cousin. Nick is a voice over for a story in which he participates most of the time. We begin with the glamorous parties among members of Wall Street businesses, between celebrities, artists and powerful businessmen, looser morals and plenty of entertainment. We find Daisy being married with Tom at the beginning, whereas Tom and Nick navigate city opportunities at start and end up at Wilson’s garage who’s married with Myrtle. Myrtle has a secret affair with Tom.
As characters are entangled with each other so is the 5 years affair after marriage between Daisy and Gatsby. Daisy is being motivated by Gatsby to tell Tom she didn’t love him at all so she and Gatsby can live happily ever after, even though Daisy keeps equal distances from each other. During turmoil and fights Daisy and Gatsby get into their car, driven by Daisy whom she kills Myrtle due to high speed. Gatsby has been living his entire life in opulence, giving parties and creating fortunes to impress Daisy and now he will be accused of a murder he did not commit. Opulence and negligence have been distinct motifs among characters. Wilson kills Gatsby to take revenge for the death of his wife and commits suicide right afterwards, at the exact moment where Daisy would finally call Gatsby to be with him. Daisy in the end looks more egoist than ever, for her murder that is not revealed drives her and Tom to move from the neighborhood and quest peace somewhere else after the funeral of Gatsby.
So, let’s now see all the above from a more meaningful writing approach folks! Daisy’s feminine intelligence in the entire movie makes her the chameleon who adapts and survives whereas all three other characters, Gatsby, Tom and Wilson have been partly defeated with their own weapons, their lack of understanding of a woman’s limits. J Gatsby subconsciously as well as creatively has dedicated his lifepath, that had to have a continuous upward movement as a shooting star at least according to his own words, towards winning back Daisy. He also accepts responsibility for her murder as well as being killed by Wilson who thought he killed Myrtle…! How can a woman trap a man completely by playing him through her 5 fingers…
Tom has very good testimonials during the beginning of the film, having been a sports star in the past while he talks to Carraway about dominance in life and enforcement. Gatsby’s house had been next to Nick and on the other side of the bay of Daisy’s house, while Gatsby always looks on the other side for this insisting… green light! I believe this green light works as an allegory in the film. Nick in the end of both the movie and the screenplay says it bornes us back ceaselessly into the past. The message and the quest of the female side of creativity. Should there be inside Gatsby’s mind simulating the mind of God or should it be quested in a woman offering plenty of cons towards happy ending? The whole project, characters’ lifestyle, glamorous moments and plenty of bypassing successes in and out of characters’ words, make it something difficult to be approached by common mortals.
But there’s one stepping stone that gives sense to our super-objective. In the comparative between Gatsby and Tom, can one man be cleaner than the other, if everything he ever did, he did it for the sake of a woman? Can Tom who has similar success with his villain prevail as a result of circumstances? Can the creative affair between a man and a woman be rehabilitated without the poisonous side effects of self and counter reflection? Anything is possible to happen by characters realizing they’re much more walked than others… That’s the main contradiction with Ethan Hawke at Charles’ Dickens Great Expectations! Being walked in the dictionary is explained not only by having experience somewhere, but especially when this experience has to do with entertainment, human factor, affairs, as well as certain domains (spaces I would say differently). To make it work, you have to make it work alone as it is indirectly suggested. Even though Gatsby’s desires are unilateral, it’s the singular expertise that gives access to the collective fruits. Have a great time folks!
