can we please talk about how Nick Carraway absolutely wants to get railed by his cousins husband in chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby
So we’re reading the Great Gatsby in class and we haven’t gotten that far but we were today we were talking about the movies and how they can be representative of the difference between old money and new money. So in order to discuss this in further detail we watched the beginnings of both the 1974 Great Gatsby and the 2013 Great Gatsby and I have to say whoever edited the 2013 version hates humans. I don’t think I’ve ever watched something so headache inducing in my life. I don’t know what the general consensus on this movie is but I think that it is a very good representation of the insecurity of “new money” rich people. Like every shot was made so bright and large and every costume is designed to feel extravagant even the casual ones and it feels like they are trying so hard to seem rich and successful and cool but they lack the class necessary to leave any lasting impression besides a headache.
p.s. I know my grammar is atrocious. Sorry bubs
p.p.s. if you like this movie this is not an attack on you these are just my thoughts lol. Totally and completely my opinion!!!
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
Why the hell aren't we learning this!!!! don't tell me I know. But this is so fucking important, like I've learned about the freaking revolutionary war like 80 times but not about this. The education system in america is so absolutely steeped in misogyny and racism it fucking kills me. We're fucked folks.
Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)
For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here
