True feelings are always blown away by wind and rain —— After reading The Great Gatsby.

When I just finished reading The Great Gatsby, my mind was still a blur and I didn't understand what was going on. I didn't understand the story until I saw the movie The Great Gatsby yesterday.

Gatsby, a mysterious figure, some people say that he is a descendant of the German emperor, some people say that he is a spy, some people say that he killed people, and some people say that he inherited a large inheritance. No one knows the truth about Gatsby. I only know that in new york, every weekend, you can see new york's rich people, political celebrities, movie stars and leading figures from all walks of life in Gatsby's luxurious castle, where a grand carnival is held all night, and the wine and food are delicious. Beauty and beauty are dizzying; Luxury cars are crowded and magnificent, which is really a paradise on earth. Strangely, all the guests who came to the grand party came uninvited, let alone the mysterious Gatsby.

It was not until one day that Nick, an unknown author who rented next door to Gatsby, received an invitation from Mr. Gatsby that the mystery hanging over Mr. Gatsby was gradually unveiled for the first time. At the first contact, Mr. Gatsby asked Nick, the author, to do him a big favor and promised him many benefits. It turned out that Mr. Gatsby wanted the author Nick to help him invite his cousin Daisy to meet him. When the author Nick's cousin Daisy arrived as promised, he realized that Mr. Gatsby and his cousin Daisy had been lovers. Gatsby was separated because he joined the army to fight, and because Gatsby was originally from a poor family and felt that he was not worthy of Daisy, he didn't contact her until he had great wealth. It happened that Daisy held a wedding on the same day. Even though Daisy wanted to break off her marriage on the wedding day, she held the wedding as scheduled under the discouragement of her mother and others.

After marriage, Daisy enjoyed a luxurious material life, but she was not happy because her husband Tom Buchanan had a mistress outside.

Gatsby met Daisy at a big party held at Daisy's house, and he took it for granted that Daisy liked to go to parties. So, I bought a castle across the river from Daisy's house, decorated beautifully and luxuriously, and held a grand luxury party every night with only one purpose, that is, I hoped to meet Daisy one day, but I never did. It was not until Nick rented a room next door that he discovered that Nick was Daisy's distant cousin. So Gatsby invited Nick to the party and asked Nick to help him invite his cousin over.

When Gatsby and Daisy finally got together in Nick's rented cabin, both of them were embarrassed, and Nick, who was well informed, withdrew from the room at the right time. Slowly, Gatsby and Daisy opened their hearts. The more they talk, the happier they get. The more they talk, the more speculative they are. They seem to forget the whole world, only each other. Even Nick came in to remind him several times and didn't notice. At Nick's reminder, Gatsby showed Daisy around her castle. This magnificent castle, this wonderful castle and this beautiful castle made Daisy full of praise. Gatsby thought that Daisy's arrival added the most beautiful color to the whole castle, and her presence gave the castle a new life.

In the later days, Gatsby and Daisy often dated, but they disagreed about the future. Gatsby hopes that Daisy can divorce her husband Tom Buchanan as soon as possible, so that they can be together as soon as possible. He wants to live happily with Daisy in the castle. Daisy wants them to fly away together. This made Gatsby a little disappointed. After all, he held a grand party, because he thought Daisy would like this kind of party, so he began to close the castle and dismiss the servants, which made new york people who were used to partying at Gatsby Castle on weekends unaccustomed and puzzled.

Gatsby's frequent dating with Daisy aroused the suspicion of Daisy's husband Tom Buchanan, who began to secretly investigate Gatsby.

On a hot afternoon, Gatsby and Nick attended a family dinner with Tom Buchanan and Daisy. Suspicious Tom Buchanan watched Gatsby and pointed at Gatsby everywhere in his words. The atmosphere was subtle and awkward. In order to get rid of this embarrassing situation, Daisy proposed to go to new york. Tom Buchanan deliberately asked Gatsby to take Daisy to drive his own car. He drove Gatsby's car to new york with Nick and Daisy's best friend Jordan Becker. In her room in downtown new york, Daisy felt hot and bored. Tom Buchanan began to attack Gatsby, which made Daisy even more annoyed. Faced with Tom Buchanan's cross-examination, Gatsby failed to control his emotions and wrestled with Tom Buchanan. Hearing Daisy's screams, Gatsby immediately recovered his composure and said apologetically. Meanwhile, Gatsby comforted Daisy and tried to calm her down. But when Gatsby asked Daisy to tell her husband publicly that she never loved her husband, Daisy refused. She said that she used to love her husband and Gatsby, but now she only loves Gatsby. This made Gatsby not satisfied, because Gatsby always only loved Daisy, and he hoped that Daisy only loved herself. So, everyone broke up in discord.

On the way home, Gatsby and Daisy are still driving Tom Buchanan's yellow sports car. Tom Buchanan drives Gatsby's blue sports car, accompanied by Nick and Daisy's best friend Jordan Becker. In order to calm Daisy's troubles, Daisy will drive when she comes back. Unexpectedly, on the way, Tom Buchanan's mistress suddenly ran to the front of the car, and Daisy killed her on the spot before she could brake. Nervous Daisy didn't stop, but drove away. Tom Buchanan arrived later and stopped to see what had happened, only to find that his mistress had been killed. When the police asked him if he knew the deceased, he said no. Tom Buchanan was very nervous when the husband of the deceased, the mechanic Wilson, said that he knew whose car it was. So he quickly pulled Wilson aside, pretended to comfort him, and then deliberately told him that Gatsby was the one who killed his wife and Gatsby was the one who was fooling around with his wife. As a result, all the news in the newspaper was directed at Gatsby. Gatsby told Nick the truth and told him to keep it a secret lest anyone hurt Daisy. He took full responsibility himself. Nick advised Gatsby to leave for a while, but Gatsby always hoped to get a call from Daisy and run away with her. The husband of the deceased, the mechanic Wilson, was deceived by Tom Buchanan and thought that Gatsby had ruined his life. So he sneaked into Gatsby's castle and found Gatsby in the swimming pool. Just then, the phone rang, and the phone that kept Gatsby waiting for a long time finally rang. Just as Gatsby wanted to answer the phone, Wilson's gun rang and Gatsby fell in the swimming pool.

Gatsby Castle, once a bustling city that never sleeps, is horribly silent. When Nick invited Daisy to Gatsby's funeral, Daisy wanted to travel to Europe with her husband and refused to stay. Nick invited former Gatsby guests everywhere to Gatsby's funeral, but no one would attend. This is really a big joke and a big irony. The so-called communication, the so-called interpersonal relationship, when it is profitable, are just empty promises. This made Nick sad and disappointed. He has never understood the behavior of these people. He was depressed and had to seek treatment from a psychiatrist. Finally, he left this sad place-new york, and returned to his hometown.

After reading the whole book, I have some ideas:

American dream:

The 1920s was a period of great economic prosperity and development in the United States, with huge material wealth, record-high stocks and rapid economic development, which created a large number of rich and successful people and achieved the American dream of a large number of people.

Among these people, Gatsby is an outstanding representative of the American dream. He had nothing. He/kloc-left his original family at the age of 0/6 and went through hardships alone in society. Through his own efforts, he finally succeeded in becoming a rich class and achieved a great counterattack in life.

Of course, there are all kinds of immoral phenomena in the process of realizing the American dream, but at least it provides a hope and direction for the bottom people. As long as you work hard enough, even if you are humble, you will realize your dream one day. That's enough.

The fantasy of the American dream:

With the rapid development of economy and the great abundance of material, many people are lost in the material world, addicted to money, debauchery and depravity. Everyone emphasizes the enjoyment of life and pursues the enjoyment of life, which leads to moral corruption. The pursuit of sexual liberation makes the relationship between men and women chaotic, promiscuous and the true feelings no longer exist.

Even if the material is rich, everyone feels spiritually empty. In order to seek spiritual satisfaction, they constantly pursue excitement, extramarital affairs and extramarital affairs. Just like Tom Buchanan, he was born in a rich family, inherited a large inheritance, spent a lot of time drinking, pursued excitement everywhere, and played with other people's wives and daughters.

Gatsby's greatness lies in his sincerity and his sincere love for Daisy. In the materialistic age and the age of lack of faith, he still insisted on sincerity and persistence in love, leading an honest and clean life for several years, waiting for the lover in his heart-Daisy.

Unfortunately, Daisy is not as faithful to love as Gatsby. Although luxury material comforts make her feel empty and her husband's infidelity makes her feel tired, in the face of Gatsby's passionate love, she still can't give up everything she has and devote herself wholeheartedly to Gatsby's arms. She prefers the playful chase between two men.

Sadly, all Gatsby's dreams are based on his love for Daisy. When Daisy's love is illusory, all this is just a bubble, which will burst in an instant.

What's the point of life without love? What is the value of wealth?

The Great Gatsby is a complete love tragedy!
