Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCritics lambasted Carl Davis' musical score as more befitting a 1940s film noir than a 1920s Jazz Age drama. Davis later claimed that he did not have sufficient time to compose an era-appropriate score.
- GoofsWhen Daisy and others travel to the city for the day, they are drinking mint Juleps in their hotel suite. Their glasses are filled with a bright green liquid, but mint Juleps are not bright green. True Juleps are Bourbon, water and sugar over ice with a spring of mint.
- Quotes
Owl Eyes: What do you think?
Jordan Baker: About what?
Owl Eyes: About THAT.
Jordan Baker: Books?
Owl Eyes: They're real. Here. Let me show you. They have pages in them. See? A bonafide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. I've been drunk for about a week and I thought a library would sober me up.
Jordan Baker: Did it help?
Owl Eyes: I can't tell you. I've only been here an hour.
- ConnectionsFeatured in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby': The Making of a Classic (2000)
Look-wise, i really like the casting of Mira Sorvino[Daisy Fay Buchannan] and Paul Rudd [Nick Carraway]; however Tony Stephens counterbalances their beauty as he tackles the role of Jay Gatsby. Stephens' priggish smile made me want to laugh when the emotions of Daisy Fay (should have) made me want to cry.
Emotionally, many of the scenes were also dumbed down. Granted this was a made for TV movie, i probably shouldn't have expected a follow-up performance by Mira Sorvino. her performace, amongst everyone else's, was terrible. where were her emotions when she reunited with gatsby? where were her emotions after she ran over Myrtle? More importantly, where were everyone's emotions when all the characters are juxtaposed in that New York apartment?
Please, Robert Markowitz, next time you try adapting a classic, spend more time on the ideas that the writer spent long nights up trying to put into words. if i were fitzgerald, i would be insulted.
