The Great Gatsby(大亨小傳)

    Well, this week I want to introduce the movie “The Great Gatsby”, which is one of 20^th century classics of America. This movie is adapted from the book of the same name. Before I begin to talk about the movie, I have to tell you that there is not the happy ending in this story. That is because the story is about the dark side of the 20^th century American prosperity.

    Gatsby is the core role in this movie. Daisy is the beautiful woman and Tom’s wife. Nick, who is the speak aside (旁白), is Daisy’s cousin. Gatsby and Daisy were once the couple, but they had to break up because of World War l. Then, Daisy was married with Tom, who is a millionaire.

    After the war, Gatsby inquires about the whereabouts of Daisy (探聽下落), and he knows she isn’t happy at all. Her husband, Tom, even has an extramarital relation(外遇).

Therefore, Gatsby decides to become rich ,attract Daisy’s attention and resume the relationship with her(挽回她).

    Thanks to Nick’s help, Gatsby and Daisy met each other and fall in love immediately. However, in this relationship, Gatsby makes money to attract Daisy, but Daisy falls into the material life so she choose Gatsby. Therefore, in the end, after Gatsby is shot dead, Daisy goes away with Tom.

    The lesson I learned from this movie is that “Money can be a tool, or be the pursuit. It is decided to you, and no one is wrong. Just choose you love, love you choose, and accept the result.” By the way, actually Gatsby knows that Daisy loves money than him, but he still decides to keep loving her.
