Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2016)

I really like this movie because is not so easy to understand the real message that the author wants to show, so you have to thoroughly understand the film and look inside yourself. This movie is based on the look. there are different kind of people. for example Daisy and Buchanan want to appear as good people so they care of what people say, while Gatsby doesn't care about what the people, so he is very different. I think the opening lines aren't related to the billboard advertising of the optometrist; the opening lines is "my father gave me some advice. Always try to see the best in people," those lines speaks about looking but in a different way than the billboard. For me the billboard advertising represent God's eyes, and that he see and he knows everything. the other symbols that i found in the film are the green light and the weather. the green light at the end of Daisy's deck represents his dream, which is Daisy. the green light is always present in the most important scenes of the movie, in particular at the end when Gatsby thought he finally reached Daisy, but he didn't because Daisy was kind of unreachable. the weather represent Gatsby's feeling and emotions, it changes when Gatsby's emotion changes. At the start of the book Gatsby seems as though he's equal in immorality to the Buchanan, because of the lavish parties. It's only later in the movie that we come to understand that Gatsby has acquired his vast wealth with the hope of one day reuniting with his first and only love, Daisy: but at the end she choose Tom Buchanan because she prefer wealth to love, and I think because she a hasn't a strong personality so she was influenced by Tom. the four main location in the film are Gatsby's house that i associate with Gatsby and his loneliness that was broken when daisy went into his house, Daisy and Tom's house that I associate with both of them plus Gatsby because when i remember their house I always think about the green lights, so i think about all of them, Valley of ashes that i associate with the George Wilson and the place of 'crime', as the crime who committed Tom to 'made love' with Wilson's house and the crime that Wilson committed to kill Gatsby, Nick Caraway's house that i associate Daisy and Gatsby because is as their shelter of love.
