The Great Gatsby (2000)

        Many people know 'The Great Gatsby' movie, but the movie many people know is 2013 version. There is 2000 version that is less popular than 2013 version. Compared to 2013, there are many diffrent factors that movie is shown.

       Its background is different from 2013 version. I think this movie  shows the backgrounds better than 2013 version. Most of things are same, but the emphasis is different. For example, 2013 version has emphasis on Dr. Ekleburg eye very much, but it doesn't show much in 2000 version. In addition, the party is not as splendid as 2013 version.

      This movie shows many symbolic characteristics too. First, the green light is very important for Gatsby. The green light shows that Daisy is alive, and it will be a hope for Gatsby. Furthermore, the valley of ashes shows the gap of upper class and lower class. Wilson is the representative of lower class and Tom and Daisy are the representative of upper class.

       In addition, there are color symbolic characteristics in movie too. The most distinguish thing is the green light. It means money and alive of Daisy. White means women(Daisy, Jordan) and clean. Red means blood and tragic story. Including these things, there are many colors that contains its meaning. Thus, we can think this movie not by seeing the relationship of Gatsby, Tom and Daisy, but by seeing the color meanings.

       Despite the 2013 version 'The Great Gatsby' is very popular for everyone, I recommend 2000 version movie because it is very interesting to find the difference of these two movies. Although 2000 version movie has some shortcomings about showing the emotions of personal relationships, the characters are attrative too. Therefore, I give 4 stars out of 5 to this movie.
