Gatsby book vs movie?

Hi blog, today was productive. i went to the library and studied an entire subject. which probably means it wasnt productive because how the hell is that possible.
i am slowly losing my sanity to my desire to do well in school. which doesnt match with my laziness. i find the perfect combination is lana del rey playing at volume level 3 and a bright light to look at when im thinking. anyway im taking a break to think about other things. like mr gatsby.

im not a fan of classics. the writing and readability is like an acquired taste for the mind. i dont like having to plow through a paragraph just to find that a leaf was just described in great detail. like i think youve overanalysed the leaf there mate. IT JUST WANTED TO BE A LEAF! not a symbol of lost hope or whatever.
anyway, gatsby didnt have a leaf.

i saw the trailer for it a while ago and was like zomg that looks so beautiful so i gave the book a go. the opening paragraph was a mindfuck. i read it thrice then gave up. but after the narrator stopped brooding and started recalling, it got quite good. good lol terrible descriptor but whatever use your imaginations.

everyone goes MOVIE IS NEVER GONAN BE AS GOOD BLAHBLAH but i think theyre quite good companions.
i think it was essential to read the book before watching the movie in this case. the movie was an exquisite cinematic experience, and bought to life gatsby's parties, something the book couldnt do. the book focused a lot on character development, the parties itself was described via partygoer's actions and behaviors. so the movie showed the extravagence of all that was gatsby.
without the book though, it would be harder to connect with the characters. and you miss out on a whole new aspect of it, especially nick's side. the ending too! i dont like how they did the ending of the movie. couldve taken emotional to a whole new level with the book's one. they were the same, but differnet.
and omgoshh it was so sad knowing what was approaching.
lana's song was utilised so well too omg. my ears were orgasming everytime she came on alkgjerklgjale grg argh love.
nad yeah :). id talk about the themes of the book and shit but all that takes is a google and every living being have put in their fair share.
i found i connected with daisy's character. not to her extent of being a massive pussy of a bitch excuse my language but i can understand the messes she gets herself into. shes a bit naive in that she leaps into things  she momentarily feels is right, regardless of peoples emotions. and when she regrets it later, she cant be forward about it. instead she lets it wean out by itself, or she just hides. like a massive pussy of a bitch.

gatsby is unhinged and deluded to me. he was chasing big dreams and he had such a strong desire to achieve his goal that when it was achieved, he was not even capable of feeling it or knowing it. he just kept driving and driving forwards until he himself is a lost cause. i found him to be really clingy and desperate. the movie makes it look endearing which i guess it is, but man sometimes i just want to punch him and see what that does.

they were all kind of crazy people. and i guess i liked that. 8/10
