@@map3384 It's funny you say that DiCaprio is a boy. Robert Redford was 38 and DiCaprio was 40 when they played Gatsby. In fact DiCaprio was born the same year Redford's Gatsby was made, 1974.
“Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald (the author of the book). What I always say to people who are often judgmental or harsh critics of each other.
This cast is perfect and this version explained the story line so well especially the Gas store owner and his wife. The Leo version was visually captivating spectacular.
The 1974 version I hope. One of my favorite movies too. Mia Farrow is beautiful and a great actress. Robert Redford is handsome and famous....!!!! Lois Chiles is a beautiful Jordan.
@@namyarasree Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker should really have got together. Sam Waterson and Lois Chiles, so much more interesting than Robert Redford and the drippy Mia Farrow.
@@douglasmilton2805 First that's YOUR opinion. Second, the movie was from the novel of Scott Fitzgerald, who talked about "The great Gatsby". Besides, "drippy" Mia Farrow plays perfectly the role of Daisy and was one of the most famous actress of that period. And obviously, you NEVER read..!!!
@@namyarasree Yes actually, it IS my opinion. To which I'm entitled. And I'm afraid the idea of someone being so utterly obsessed with Mia Farrow (as Daisy) to the extent that he builds up a vast criminal empire and unbelievable wealth on the off-chance that she might just notice and be impressed...well even in the novel, which by the way I have not only read countless times but have known almost by heart since I was a teenager, it was always a rather silly idea. Fitzgerald carries it off by the sheer power of his writing. But anyway, why are we arguing over the choice of an actress? You thought she was right for the part, I didn't, these things are all subjective...so there we go. What matters is that we obviously both love the book. So let's just remember those marvellous last words: 'Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...And then one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past'.
Mia is perfect for this part. Privileged, bored, self-absorbed. She was mesmerized by Redford’s sensitivity, drawn back to a different time. Probably the first love of her life, but rich girls don’t marry poor boys. Redford was driven, got everything he ever wanted, except her. He was in love with a fantasy, she was infatuated with the dalliance. Her husband Tom, granted her the reputation, security, and social entree she required. This movie affected me, as a young girl, I met a pool boy at the country club, it lasted until college. My parents demanded that I date/marry at my “social economic” level. They made sure the relationship was done, we moved to another state. He wrote letters, tried to call. To no avail. 😊
The Daisy/Jay tragedy reminds me of Princess Margaret and Group Captain Townsend's romance- she wouldn't/couldn't give up the money and social privilege she would have lost had she married him. Daisy is the same. One hopes both Daisy and Margaret would have been happier with their true loves, but the reality of a middle class marriage and loss of social position may have soured things- "When bills come in the door, love flutters out the window".
Sam van Haarlem I strange how similar the scripts are, usually when you remake a movie it’s because the previous ones were terrible and you saw an opportunity but since the Great Gatsby has a very specific language it’s hard to made alterations.
I think Mia was okay as Daisy. Her looks and nervous acting style fit the role and time period. Still, I always wish Jennifer O'Neill or Ali Macgraw had played Daisy.
Katie Perry She behaves that way because of her crappy marriage and the fact that she had lost the love of her life due to societal conventions. She’s sad and heartbroken, but she tries to put on.
@@twaz5786 Who hasn't ever been heartbroken! She doesn't have to be such a lazy, boring, pathetic, whiny drip! And don't even go there with spoilt!! She could have eloped with Gatsby in the begining, but she didn't because he was poor!! Have no sympathy for her!
Daisy lacks depth and it’s the reason she got talked into marrying Tom. A woman of depth would have done some deep soul searching for someone so much more.
@@AlekSandra665 You have to remember the 1920s in America. KKK was at the height of its power. Even Woodrow Wilson was a member. Think of the influence MAGA has now. That was the KKK.
agree about the cast. i also believe Redford was not well directed either, he just didn't convey well Gatsby's own frivolous side and his unabiding optimism, he seems a bit too serious and kind of melancholic. but the movie could have said more and maybe should have stayed closer to the book. for instance, the west/east conflict is not highlighted and it was important to the story. also, Nick was less sympathetic to the characters, even to Gatsby himself, and his scorn doesn't surface much in the movie.
@Cheeky Bum you’re the uncultured swine here. The book is a masterpiece and is quite a beautiful story. Using film as an excuse isn’t exactly the best option. Also, while your name appears to match your personality, Cheeky isn’t the exact word I’d use.
@@StudioSerious1 That's YOUR opinion. I prefer the original than a stupid copy, and it's MY right. Besides, that copy was not very successful. You don't need to be vulgar for that. But I guess that's the way you usually talk, generation of idiots.! So long.!
@@StudioSerious1 I bet you don't even know who was F. Ford Coppola. I'm sure you haven't even red the book of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I prefer this version,these actors and everything👍💚
I like this one better also somehow the new versions do not appeal to me.
Me too
Because no Mia no Robert
When I was young boy Redford seemed to me like a real man. Handsome, strong and well spoken. DiCaprio seems just a boy.

Sam Waterston grew up the same way, that's why he is perfect as Narrator Nick.
This version best shows off the old money vibe.
Nothing like old money...
Farrow WAS Fitzgerald's embodiment of Daisy.She was brilliant.
This version is definitive. Everyone in it is perfectly cast.
Redford version the best !
I prefer this version rather than the 2010s one.
Absolutely!
Literally just finished watching the 2013 film. God, the script is so similar to the 1975 and 1949 Gatsby films!! :)

I love robert

Farrow and Redford certainly lacked chemistry. Mia's Daisy seemed quite aloof and scatterbrained.
This may be a bit left field but… Faye Dunaway?
@@douglasmilton2805 I was thinking Faye Dunaway as I was scrolling the comments. Certainly not Ali Macgraw.
Best version! Sorry Leo.
Jordan Baker is Beverly High's quarterback.
No wonder Tom has another women!! Daisy is one vacuous pain in the arse!!!
