The Great Gatsby (1974)

  • 4 February 2010

I watched this movie last week and it was pretty good. It is based on the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and it is starring Robert Redford who started the Sundance Film Festival which i hope to go to one day.

Jay Gatsby was a really rich gentleman. He had all these grand parties and he was really mysterious– no one knew who he really was and what he was really like. People were a little scared of him but they came to his parties because he was rich and they had a great time.

Then you learned his history during the movie.  Basically when he was young, there was a really rich woman named Daisy and she was in love with Gatsby but she couldnt marry him because he was poor. So he went away to the war and he said that she should wait for him cause he would make things alright. But then, she went ahead and married a really rich guy.

I didnt really understand this film very much, I guess because I have never been in love and I can’t imagine doing that for another person, or why he was so mysterious. I thought it was shot really well though. I really liked the scenes with the parties because they just really showed how out of control the people got and they got the mood of things; the parties almost seemed like they werent fun because they were so crazy. I would recommend this movie probably for older people. I dont think teenagers or children would neccessarily be able to understand it.

    Another very nice and frank write. I’ve read Great Gatsby which is one of the most famous American novels, and probably seen the film too. At sixteen one is grown up enough to understand most things—Shakespeare for example.
