The film is based on Fitzgerald's namesake and was officially released in the United States on May 10, 2013.

The film tells the story of the fledgling writer Nick Karlovay, who is fascinated by this drunken high world and its fantasies, love, and lies, and who witnesses everything inside and outside this world, and decides to write a story about an unwanted love, undying dreams, and heartache, and a story that reflects the current times and struggles.

In Internet slang, Gatsby means "the American dream that people pursue."

The Internet slang Gatsby comes from the movie "The Great Gatsby", because the protagonist of the movie, Gatsby, yearns for the life of the United States very much and wants to go to the United States desperately, so there is a stalk of "Gatsby".

The Great Gatsby is a romantic drama film directed by Buzz Luckman, which tells the story of the unfamous writer Nick Karlovay, who is attracted to this drunken high world and its fantasies, love and lies, and who witnesses everything inside and outside this world, so he decides to write a story about an unfathomed love, undying dreams and heartache, and reflects the current times and struggles.

The protagonist of The Great Gatsby.

When it comes to love, Gatsby is sincere and romantic, full of fantasy. For the Snow White in his mind, he worked hard to create a ** palace and lively parties, but he had no interest in all this pleasure and noise. With people, he is sincere, pure, and kind.

The first time I met Nick, his smile gave Nick a very special impression: "It's a very rare smile, with a very reassuring feeling, maybe you can only meet it four or five times in a lifetime." For a moment this smile is confronting—or seeming to be facing the whole eternal world—and yet for a moment, it condenses into you, showing an irresistible preference for you.

Even Wolf Sam, speaking of Gatsby, commented that he was "a handsome, authentic gentleman" and that "he was the kind of person you would be happy to bring home and introduce to your mother and sister." Despite Gatsby's pedantic, conformist, and overly cautious nature, readers like him and hope, or believe, that everything is innocent of Gatsby.

The history of Gatsby's origins has always been treated as a suspense in the work, and little by little it is revealed, negated, negated, and exposed. The rumors of the guests are both good and bad. But there is also Gatsby's own statement, "I'm a rich kid in the Midwest — and my family is all gone."

I grew up in the United States, and I was educated in Oxford, England, because my family had been educated there for many years. It's a family tradition." Nick found out to be a lie at the time, "I managed to keep laughing out loud, because what he said was unbelievable, it was all clichés."

At this time, the reader will find that Gatsby is not simply pure and sincere, he is also telling some big lies. Gatsby got rich through improper means, but his purpose for getting rich was so romantic and simple, even holding a grand party, it was only for the same simple purpose: to attract the Snow White in his mind.

And it is precisely because he is mixed with the selfish and filthy crowd that Gatsby's innocence and romance seem incomparably noble and unworldly.

**In the literary work "The Great Gatsby", it is a symbol of a character who is willing to give his life for the obsession in his heart.

Gatsby is the protagonist of The Great Gatsby.

This is a novella by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, set in New York City and Long Island in the 20s of the 20th century.

The protagonist, James Kazben, is a poor farmer in North Dakota who has dreamed of getting ahead since he was a child. After a lot of hard work, he finally rose through the ranks and changed his name to Jay Gatsby.

Gatsby's greatness lies in the sheer spirit and quality that ordinary people lack.

The most remarkable thing about Gatsby is not that he has self-control and perseverance beyond ordinary people, not his ability to work hard step by step from the bottom to become a rich man, but the pure spirit and quality that he has that ordinary people lack. Gatsby's greatness lies in what everyone lacked in that particular era, but he insisted on.

Gatsby's real greatness lies in the fact that after he gained a lot of wealth, he didn't care about what others told him and what he thought, he enjoyed his wealth, and he knew very well what he wanted, in the process of pursuing Daisy, he retreated bravely and fought for positive opportunities, the purpose was to give Daisy a happy life, Gatsby controlled the overall situation of the story, and was a man who cared about details very much.

In this **, Gatsby can be said to represent the achievements of the United States at that time, after the end of World War I, the industrial revolution in the United States expanded rapidly and reached the realm of happiness. ** does not go into detail about how Gatsby got rich, the most important thing is his life after he became rich, although he gained a lot of wealth, he was still not accepted by society, and finally ended up with a tragic ending.

In the mid-20s of the last century, Gatsby did not forget his original intention, never gave up his beliefs, pursued a goal, remained optimistic, and developed wealth, in order to reach a height of stupidity and gain the affirmation of everyone, but in the end Daisy didn't love him anymore, Gatsby did not give up his dream, and still insisted on his career and pursued Daisy.

I believe that many people have watched the movie "The Great Gatsby", but many people may not go to see the movie itself, but to Leonardo, the actor.

After the first **, many people may have seen the materialistic and money-oriented upper class, and saw the ugliness in human nature, but they didn't understand Gatsby's excellence, and wondered why Gatsby was praised so greatly. So, let me uncover the greatness of Gatsby for you.

First, do not give in to fate。Gatsby's background is very humble, he is only the son of a farmer, and he has no connection with the so-called high society at all. But it was such a man from humble origin, he was not willing to accept the arrangement that fate gave him, he became a soldier, went to the battlefield, and went around in the financial circleHe repeatedly challenged the shackles set by fate, and was finally reborn in Nirvanaand become a high-profile person.

Gatsby's story is like a struggle song, he only strides forward passionately, without the slightest flinch, with the great perseverance to move mountains and reclaim the sea, such an unyielding life can be said to be very remarkable.

Second, loyalty to feelings. We've heard the sayingThere is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after seeing the truth of life, he still loves life。The same applies to Gatsby's love for Daisy.

After Gatsby has unparalleled money power, he still retains the yearning for love when he was young, and still loves the Daisy who makes him happy. Although he knew that her laughter was full of the sound of money, he still ran to Daisy without hesitation, the skinny reality did not make him flinch, although he saw through the lies and hypocrisy of the world, he always believed in Daisy's green light, maintaining the original simplicity and love, such a thingA man who pursues light in the mudHow can it not be called great?

Gatsby is full of the shining brilliance of human nature, and it is in him that these beautiful things make him great.

The Great Gatsby: The 20s of the 20th century was a short and special period in American history, known as the "Tumult Age", which refers to the 10 years from 1919 after the end of World War I to 1929 before the collapse of the American economy.

Several factors make up the peculiarities of this era. First of all, the United States is at the historical crossroads of the old and the new, and the vigorous development of capitalism has allowed the United States to rapidly move from an agricultural civilization to an industrialized modern society.

At the same time, the United States, which participated in the war in the latter part of World War I, made a lot of war profits because it was not hit hard by the war, and changed from a debtor country before the war to a debtor country. At that time, the main implementation of the "laissez-faire" economic policy, that is, the idea of allowing the free market to operate on its own, the less intervention in economic activities, the more efficient the economic operation.

This created the miraculous "Coolidge Boom Era". Therefore, at that time, the domestic economic situation in the United States was very good, the transportation, mining, and construction industries were expanding rapidly, the electrical appliances and automobile manufacturing industries suddenly became stubborn, and automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed foods, and ready-made clothing began to enter people's homes, bringing unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans.

Real estate transactions and ** markets are particularly active, and some speculators have become nouveau riche overnight in this type of gambling industry. The amount of wealth has become the criterion for judging a person's success or not, and people have begun to blindly make money, make "fast" money, and make more money; Chase to get richer, to become richer.

At the same time, American hedonism, Spencer's theory of evolution, and James's philosophy of pragmatism were all popular in the United States, and the ideas of "diligence and frugality" advocated by traditional puritanical morality and religious beliefs were gradually replaced by consumer hedonism such as the pursuit of personal wealth and the enjoyment of material life.
