I hate how deliberately sinister they made their meeting- doesn't fit Gatsby's character at all. Plus, he DID go to his own parties. Jeez. If it's not broken, don't fix it! This book is a classic!
the great gatsby continues to be my favorite book of all time. as for the new film, i think brad pitt wud have made a better jay gatsby. i cant wait until the new movie is released tho cuz its gonna be good non the less.
Did you see how that butler took out that huge man? Lol, all of Gatsby's butlers work for the gangsters. I bet they're all packing Tommy Guns underneath their suits.
having said that, i think robert redford as gatsby is perfect. almost exactly how i pictured gatsby in my mind. about the only thing this movie did right - but alas, not nearly enough to salvage it. i'm excited/nervous to see how leonado dicaprio handles the roll in 2012.
yeah, they screwed up how they, for anyone that is watching this without reading the book they meet because gatsby notices that Nick was in the War, they talk about a small French town and Nick says that mr. Gatsby sent him an invitation to this party not knowing he was talking to gatsby. then Mr Gatsby clears it up and invites him to go with him on his new hydroplane he recently purchased.
upvote this so people don't lose points on there test for how they met.
She chose wealthy old money Tom over then poor working class Gatsby, that's why they call men like Gatsby "Devastatingly Handsome" , because in those times old money with blueblood trumped good looks and chemistry.
Plus 95% of upper class women then had no say in choice of husband as long as their Daddys were living, women then had just recently won the right to vote after hundreds of years of being considered property to trade over for business deals.
@madtvrox I had someone who'd lived through the '20s explain to me, in the '70s, how conservative people were back then. Even married couples who were up to a little spice in the bedroom were judged INSANE were they discovered. Married couples! In private! Gatsby was not socially acceptable for Daisy, despite the success he became. Also, working conditions were horrible through the '20s. Americans who are against communism and socialism seem to forget, they gave the workers rights.
omg they missed the funniest part of the book! Nick ask Gastby what part of the Midwest and Gatsby says San Francisco...it also forshadows the fact that Gatsby is lying about his past.
the meeting with jay is better here than in the book, it adds mystery and danger to his character, and the bodyguard also adds danger to the scene, that's why i prefer this version of the meeting, rather than the one in the book.
I think the meeting in the book is way better. First off Nick seems a bit intimidated as he was lead to Gatsby in the movie and in the book Nick isn't intimidated by Gatsby at all. And it's not Philadelphia on the phone it's Detroit. They should have kept the original meeting...
Girls ooooing and ahhhhing Gatsby...that is the one and only Robert Redford. Check him out in The Way We Were. Actors these days have nothing on him! ;-)
The remake with Leo Di Caprio will come in a distant second.
@utube5678176 Yes Redford is perfect as Gatsby . . . maintains a charismatic, enigmatic mystique. A fortunate fusion of romantic and diehard pragmatist. So believeable . . . this whole movie is like eavesdropping from a time machine . . . or being a mute character in it !
Come to Gatsby's place. Get drunk, get into a fight, meet the man who is going to basiclly try to homewreck your cousin. Loved the book and I love the movie. :)
I wish the first meeting with Gatsby was how it was in the novel. Jordan and Gatsy are reallyl good looking I agree, although I expected Gatsby to have dark hair.
why did they change the way Nick and Gatsby meet? I was so exited for that part!!
