When I was a senior in high school I wrote a meaningful letter in my best friend’s year book and signed off with “they’re a rotten crowd. You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together”…

HOW DID I NOT KNOW I WANTED TO KISS WOMEN?!?!?!?!?

I am once again asking for all your TGG and Natsby content. : )

Thank you wonderful @thepropertybrother for the Nick threat. For the record.. Gatsbys just blushing really hard and that’s why his face is redder then his hand. 😤

To this day I still wonder if Nick Carraway was gay and in love with Gatsby or am I just projecting.

Does anyone know what was written in the letter Gatsby sent to Daisy on her wedding day?

The Juxtaposing Styles of The Great Gatsby (2013)

The Style of The Great Gatsby really makes the film stand out as beautiful (romantic), and heartbreaking (realistic). You feel elated at the mansion parties and distraught at Myrtle’s death. You crave the life of a millionaire or a party-goer but dread the thought of living like Gatsby had been. It’s a combination of perfectly woven styles and storytelling that makes these reactions feel so real.

When I first saw the trailer for The Great Gatsby, I was awe-struck. Only age 12, I hadn’t seen many “big” films other than the MCU and Star-Wars franchises, so seeing a trailer oozing golds and The Roaring Twenties really threw me for a loop. Immediately, it was the only film I wanted to see. My mom the English teacher glowed at this and insisted that I read the book, which I did, and loved the idea of seeing the film even more.

When it finally came out, I was not disappointed. The Great Gatsby seems like it fits both the styles of realism and romanticism. For one, it does not waiver from showcasing the faces of The Roaring Twenties. You see the mansions, money, flappers, middle-class, lower-class, everything. It doesn’t shy from the bad sides (i.e. mistresses, drunkenness, anger) but it also doesn’t keep us from the exciting (i.e. flappers, mansion parties). Those two juxtapositions were like the gold and black in the trailer- really shining and bringing out each other more and making them more noticeable, as a foil does in books.

The colors really help this as well. In the mansion party scenes, you see blues, blacks, pinks, and whites. Nightlife colors. In turn, in scenes like where Carraway meets Myrtle, it’s creams and reds. Bright and vibrant. The battle of cool versus warm colors only makes the film seem that much more vibrant and fun to watch.
