This American Dream themed movie recognizes the consequences of affluent people’s lives and the ambition they have to live this life full of wealth. Little do they know, of course, the real cost of it and how negatively it can affect their lives. Through the book and the movie we get the impression that Daisy represents the shallow American Dream that most people have. |
At the end of the story we can see that the only one that reaches his desired dream is Nick Carraway when he finishes writing his book. We can see this because writing seems to be cathartic for him and the only way he seems to be in peace. Especially in the movie, everything looks very nice and gives the illusion of happiness in many characters. But really... how happy are they? |
