The Film:The Great Gatsby (Based on Fitzgerald's Novel The Great Gatsby ) Director:Baz Luhrmann Cast:Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby |
Film Reviews: If you never read the classic F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby,now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation.Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film,it would be:It's just like the book. The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film.Baz Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original,for example,in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film,the first party scene,Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself,while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue (蓝色狂想曲),which was composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924,is played in the background. ─Fox News Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was either to find a visual equivalent (相等物) for Fitzgerald's elegant quality--the open secret of the book's popularity for so long time-or to match his own unusual personal strengths with the material.He tries it both ways,with considerable degrees of success. DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite (上流社会人士) by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm.He can look at someone for an instant and understand how,perfectly,he or she wants to be seen. ─Time Magazine |
About the Book and the Main Character: Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work,The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism,resistance to change,social change,and excess,creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a tale regarding the American Dream. Nick,the narrator,moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy.His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio),who rarely contacts with others and is said to be a hero of the Great War.Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University,but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns more about Gatsby,every detail about him seems questionable,except his love for the Daisy.Though Daisy is married,Gatsby still loves her as his"golden girl".They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer.Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war.However,she married Tom,a classmate of Nick's.Having obtained a great fortune,Gatsby sets out to win her back again. |

There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as a(n) (31)F result or product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a promotion,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By (32)A,the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but rather the attitudes and feelings people have,their caution or courage,as we (33)I new experiences and unexpected obstacles.In this process,the journey never really ends.There are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a (34)Eto take risks.And we are supposed to be ready to face the (35)B,and to accept the possibility that we may"fail"at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious?If so,then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're (36)J and shy?Then our (37)G of shyness can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we're slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to cope with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more
(38)K role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.We will (39)H to grow,if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,and if we protect ourselves too much.We become (40)Cinside a shell of our own making.
