Gatsby Film Techniques
The Great Gatsby is a 2013- drama romance movie directed by Bar Luhrmann, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, based on F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel.
It is narrated from Nick Carraway's point of view,who recalls the old times when he met Jay Gatsby, after moving to Long Island. He became his neighbour and began to attend his lavish parties, before realizing the wealthy man aimed at something he wished to have for himself; Daisy's love. Unfortunately, the woman he loves was harder to get than he expected.
Luhrmann's remake of the classic 'The Great Gatsby' has been both strongly criticised and praised for his unique style, typical of the Australian director.
The setting appears eccentric, garnished with colorful costumes distinctive of the 1920s and a hip-hop/r&b/electro-jazz soundtrack, which gives a little extra to the atmosphere of the movie, but …show more content…
In an attempt, he arranges huge parties, where he expects Daisy to attend one or another. He adamantly shows off his opulence, in order to attract her attention.
After meeting each other again, thanks to Nick (who could be considered 'the centre of the whole story'), they began having an affair, but that's not all.
In fact, what makes Daisy's character truly obnoxious is not her being unfaithful to her husband. It is hardly because of that. Tom is no better and it is clearly shown from the beginning of the movie.
Daisy is overly venerated by Gatsby and later on, when she comes to the conclusion that she has to choose between her lover and her cheating husband, she reveals her true nature. She is neither pure or lovely as Gatsby wanted to demonstrate.
She lets someone else take the blame for her mistakes and even when she learns about Gatsby's death, she shows no reaction and return to her everyday life with Tom, as if nothing
