A little disappointed

On the contrary, the second-class movies are often just the footnotes of the first-class novels, or the footnotes of the first-class novels.
This movie proves the truth of this seemingly bumpy movie again.
All the criticisms, of course, can also be said to be the strong personal style of the director. Yes, it's gorgeous, fast and dazzling. Maybe it's the embodiment of paper intoxication in Chinese. However, it's not Gatsby as we understand it, or Gatsby as Fitzgerald.
In the novel, Fitzgerald's description is calm, motionless, or there is another famous saying, which is ambiguous. This style runs through the whole novel.
It's the distance between the novel and the film that makes me not dare to say how well the film is shot. I can only say, well, it's also an interpretation.
Both Mulligan and DiCaprio are my favorite actors. Daisy's appearance is still amazing. Of course, Mulligan's performance is satisfactory to me, and Leonardo has no obvious flaws.
But it can't hide the clumsiness of computer technology in expressing a feeling. That kind of technology is gorgeous sometimes and fake big empty is just one meaning.
And Lana diori's voice is just like that of a computer. No matter how gorgeous and retro, it's still a plastic face, which is not in line with our impression of the great prosperity of the jazz age. Although I like this soundtrack and am very happy with the rap and wall street bull market, I can't help but remind myself that this is not an MV after all, it should be a movie.
