To be honest, I have been rethinking the film since I finished watching the movie. I haven’t seen anything that the film really wants the audience to understand. If you don’t think about it, maybe this is a pure love story. A man meets a woman who makes him feel at an opportunity. However, there are things that force them to separate. Later, although the girl is married, when the man returns to her vision, she cannot control herself to love him. She wants to go with this man. However, she can't abandon her current husband, and the man can't leave the current business. For this, they are very upset. When they are upset, there is a tragedy. The Gatsby is dead in the final. The story is over.

I think this is about the movie, the details and characters in the movie need us to ponder. The story took place in the United States in the 1920s. It was a big background. All the stories happened on this basis. It was a time when rich people were born. At that time, everyone was unreasonable about money and reputation. At the beginning of the movie, this story is told by Nick. He recalls this story and tells us about Gatsby in his eyes. Nick is a man of this era in the story, but he follows the advice that his father left him with "trying to pay attention to the best side of others." Such advice has greatly influenced him.

The story begins in his memories. The sensitive protagonist, Gatsby, is also a man of that era, hoping to get money and reputation, but he can't let go of love. He can make a name for himself in the business world. However, in front of Daisy, he still wants to hold everything in his arms like a child, but he is afraid that she will be hurt. This kind of cautiousness makes him feel helpless. Gatsby is not Gatsby. His unexpected wealth has made him get what he wants. It is also in line with his childhood when he thought he was taken care of by God. God did care for him and made him get everything he has now.

Daisy, a beautiful woman, is loved by all men. Her appearance made her marry the most wealthy family in the United States, Buchanan, five years after she lost contact with Gatsby. She looks beautiful and moving, but in such an era, like most of the stars nowadays want to marry the rich. They are not wrong, but the times are like this, just to adapt to the times. Under the beautiful appearance, Daisy has a heart that loves vanity.

When she was dating Gatsby, when Gatsby showed her everything, she seemed to have made many decisions at that time. She is willing to run away with Gatsby. This detail seems to be recovering the image of the United States at the time. This woman gives priority to the former in the face of love and money. But Gatsby seems reluctant to give up the present, but he personally transforms this unwillingness into everything that is prepared for Daisy. Why should he give up all this? His choice has brought the story to a new direction. All the way to stumble, the film is full of the taste of money. In this movie, there is no pair of people who really love each other. But also it seems to reflect the current society, most people is married because of money only.
