This movie started from a sanatorium where the narrator, Nick Callaway stayed because of binge drinking and psychataxia, who was also the incarnation of Fitzgerald。 Talking with the doctor, Nick spoke out what he had experienced in the past few months。 Then, a great man but a tragic story were known to us。 Nick’s neighbor—Gatsby, the hero of this movie, came from a humble family。 He became fabulously wealthy by bootlegging。 He held luxury parties every weekend just for a married woman, Daisy, who had disappeared for five years。 With the help of Nick, Gatsby and Daisy met each other。 When Tom, Daisy’s husband, a noble descent, found out their relationship and Gatsby’s real identity, he used pungent words to insult Gatsby。 Daisy lost control of her feelings, she drove Gatsby’s car and ran over Tom’s mistress。 To protect Daisy, Gatsby took the consequence and got killed by the mistress’s husband。 Tom and Daisy left the city even without sending a flower to Gatsby’ funeral。 Nick just saw a metropolis covered with vanity and unbounded materialism。 He was so disappointed that he came back to his hometown。 

The Great Gatsby has received many good reputations since its release。 Times said that it was a beautiful but sad story in summer, and The Hollywood Reporter said it was the portrayal of the Jazz Age。 Buz Luhtmann saw the modern feature of the original, so he put some pop music, like JAY-Z, into this tragic story to make the movie reflect its modern value。 But some people think this makes the story which happened in the 1920s ultra-modern, thus losing the retro factor which is supposed to have。 In fact, we can say that the director did it on purpose。 He brought that prosperous and luxurious world Fitzgerald described into the reality by using brilliant colors, shaking music, amazing 3D effect and various skills of expression。 “Although this is not a traditionally adapted film, it still uses sufficient emotion and brilliant scenes to tell a convincing story ”, said the New York Times。(2013。5。5)
