People like to put it down. I like The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald was a fine writer.

People like to put it down. I like The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald was a fine writer. Who puts it down? Fitzgerald nails the banal zeitgeist of vanity that is the monied class. We only got more so after the Reagan era kicked in. Gatsby dead in the pool at the end is picked up by Wilder in Sunset Blvd. Joe Gillis, the doomed Hollywood hack writer, is what Fitzgerald himself later became.Β Reading it again I think the chauffeur killed Gatsby and Wilson.

Hated reading it. Did not like the Robert Redford movie. Loved the Leonardo DiCaprio version.

I had to read this twice in two different English classes in high school. Also A Separate Peace. I hated having to read books about overprivileged twits. I would have preferred The Grapes of Wrath or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It was all a plot to try to make yuppies out of us.

Hated reading it. Did not like the Robert Redford movie. Loved the Leonardo DiCaprio version.Β There is one with Alan Ladd as Gatsby. More of a noir. Not sure if itβs on DVD. Saw it at a library showing a couple years ago.

I mean if your trolling then forget an answer. Iβm thinking. Have not watched a new Hollywood comedy in over 5 years.
