The Great Gatsby Class Review

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2017)

In the Great Gatsby, there are four different settings all symbolizing a different type of person in the roaring 20s. The East Egg of long island where the old rich lived, Like the Buchanans. On the other side of the bay are the newly rich, like Gatsby, Nick Caraways neighbor, who are always partying and drinking. There's also the city which symbolizes those who dream and aspire to become the newly rich and pursue their dreams. Then there's the valley of ashes, the working class people that mine coal and other low end jobs.
In the valley of ashes there is a billboard with a set of eyes that over look the valley. On the sign the name, Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, is at the top of the sign. However, they seem to symbolize God staring down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, but that's never really brought up. The eyes are just there.
Near the end of the movie, It seems like Gatsby hit Mr. Buchanan's mistress with is car and killed her. Everyone assumes it was Gatsby who hit her as he was driving home drunk with Daisy in the Car because there was the witness that saw the car that hit them and Tom knew Gatsby was in that car. But it was really Daisy who was driving and hit the lady. Gatsby was letting her drive and she spun the car out of control, but never revealing it was really her.
This was a spectacular movie, the way it was filmed was outstanding with it's very mysterious vibe and the actors were all amazing.
