    Fantastic montage! Great work. When Leo at the end says, “You see, *I’m* Gatsby,” it’s like he’s dismissing all the Gatsbies who came before here! The true Jay Gatz. But Alan Ladd wasn’t bad! No offense, but Redford seems such a boring stiff. As for 2nd best Nick (after Tobey), I’d say Paul Rudd. I could see him giving a great performance with Leo in the 2013 one (he didn’t seem to have much to work with in 2000). Anyway, such a great job highlighting Gatsby over a century in art.

    • @fenncarr3774
      @fenncarr3774 Před rokem +1

      personally Tobey was unbearable. I just couldn't fit him into my mental image of Nick, and his constant voice over became unbearable. I also found Leo was too eccentric for the role of Gatsby, who should have retained some kind of reclusiveness or awkwardness. The parties also were just too much, the surrealism would have been tolerable if it has period accurate music. I think the build up was better than the other movies but as a whole it really misunderstood a lot of characters, especially Mr Wilson. I think it spent too much time focusing on showing off what is frankly ugly CGI now instead of retaining small character building moments like the Myrtle dog scene or showing many failed marriages and loves.

    Having studied literature and film and taught them for the past 25 years, I long ago came to the conclusion that "faithfulness to the book" is not the "plus" that people seem to think it is. You have to go with the strength of the medium you're using when you're making an adaptation of a preexisting work. A lot of what makes the book so special is the quality and character of Nick's narrative voice. That's unsuitable for film. Film is an inherently visual/auditory medium, so if you're making one, lean into that HARD, and make no apologies for it.

    Just bought a copy of the 1949 version. Macdonald Carey reminds me too much of Nicholas Cage, lol. It's interesting to see the different spin some of the lines get. I'd say my chief complaint so far is that the pacing is off. Things move and escalate too quickly. There's no mystery to Gatsby's past or his relationship with Daisy. No big reveal. Even the meeting in the clip is undermined by the fact that it's how we're introduced to Nick, not Gatsby (we'd already met him and heard about his relationship with Daisy before he ever shows up).
    Interesting to see "The Maltese Falcon's" Wilmer Cook show up to play Klipspringer (a piano-playing gangster) in this one.
    Pretty big rewriting on some of the scenes, too.
