The Great Gatsby: Old Sport

Warner Bros.
Determined not only to have the money, Jay Gatsby spent years hosting lavish parties, hoping that Daisy, the woman  he fell in love with during his years as a soldier, would attend, so he could also have the girl.  Gatsby's wealth was a result of his ambition, but the  mansion, the car collection, the lifestyle, it was all for Daisy

Was Daisy worthy of Gatsby? She seemed like the type of  person who lived for the moment, and who wanted the excitement of love, without assuming the concomitant responsibilities. Gatsby was sincerely loving, while Daisy was sincerely materialistic. Her jocular disposition is tailored for festivity, but beyond that, it is difficult to say
 she is woman of substance. 
Warner Bros.


In the 1974 release of the filmthere is one scene not included in this recent release, that clearly provided a clue of Daisy's orientation as to what the proper relation of the poor and rich should be pertaining to  marriage. " Rich girls don't marry poor boys."  Did Daisy really love GatsbyIt does not seem that Daisy can love a man without factoring in his economic status



The film did not lag. It was entertaining, and being bolstered by shimmering production, The Great Gatsby, a film based on the roaring twenties had a touch of bling with hip-hop music in some scenes. A little strange, but it worked somewhat. On a final note, Jay Gatsby was such an emotionally well gathered character it was difficult to feel how much he loved Daisy. I'll give it a 75.
