Why The Hell Aren't We Learning This!!!! Don't Tell Me I Know. But This Is So Fucking Important, Like

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts

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!!!

Thank you. I hate the movie it felt gross to watch and reading gatsby is truly the best way to experience the story.

My final thoughts on The Great Gatsby 2013 after finishing the book

This film doesn’t need to exist, in fact, I think it’s existence is bad 💀

Rant below.

The actors and actresses were good choices, but I think that Gatsby is just one of those books that looses its’s specialness when adapted to film. The mastery of Great Gatsby comes from Fitzgerald’s ability to paint for the viewer every scene, every subtlety, every little word packed with meaning, through his writing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the words are what make Gatsby such a special book. It’s written in a clever way to make you pick up on things that won’t be explicitly stated or shown. It’s one of those stories that you have to pause and think about, and you can’t do that with a film. Not only that, but I don’t think the film was serious enoooough. It just seemed like it had two modes: PARTY HARD RAAH and awww sad gatsby 🥺 sad daisy NOT SAD ENOUGH, not MEANINGFUL enough. NO AMOUNT OF LANA DEL REY CAN SAVE THIS POORLY SET UP ROMANCE! We need Nick’s descriptions, the inner thoughts, the wonderful passage about Gatsby and Daisy’s first kiss five years ago in order to CARE about and understand the intriguing reasons behind their relationship.

I hate how Nick’s character was handled. Nick is apathetic and objectively not a good narrator, but he’s still very human. I was very impressed by Fitzgerald’s ability to balance awful qualities with real depictions of people. I don’t get that from the movie, Nick feels like a brick just sitting there 70% of the time. The only time the movie did something interesting with him was at the end. Also, I hate those sanatorium cutaways, what a way to ruin the moment.

The party scenes were pretty good, but the one in Myrtle’s apartment was uh… just not satisfying when compared to the book. Also, there was no Mr. McKee and Nick scene? THOSE COWARDS!

I actually really liked Tom’s actor and portrayal, I think he did the best job.

Uhhhhh, final thoughts, they tried to make up for the lack of deep writing with pure extravagance and forced glamour. No good, wouldn’t recommend.

anyhow, thats just my opinion :)

can we please talk about how Nick Carraway absolutely wants to get railed by his cousins husband in chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby

I am always down for a little diogenes

My mom is a librarian so i use the study stuff from the bpl and it’s great. It’s my savior fr. And whenever we go on road trips and such we get audiobooks. I love libraries

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year
