一、
在我年纪还轻,阅历尚浅的时候,父亲曾给我忠告,他说“与人相处要多看别人长处,因为这样,我从不随便评价别人。”即使如此,我的忍耐也有限度。那会儿,我们大家都喝了很多,我们越是追随时代的脚步,喝的也越多,我们这些人没有一个是有出息的。从纽约回来以后我变的很厌世。我厌恶所有人,所有事,严重酗酒,失眠,易怒,焦虑,忧郁。只有一个人是我不厌恶的,盖茨比。他是我见过的唯一最有希望的人,我不会再遇见这样的人了……——尼克.卡拉威
以上是开头,而我写这篇文章的主要是因为Lana Del Rey《Young and Beautiful》,第一次接触她的歌是《Dark Paradise》,然后……她就此霸占歌单一角。好了,言归正传,中午的时候看了这部电影,听到了《Young and Beautiful》作为背景音乐悄悄出现,而后又在舞会发现它的另一种演绎,以及盖茨比和黛西见面时再次出现。那么,它到底出现几次呢?
为了再次观看影片,找了好久,发现不是要求下载播放器就是要付费,终于在百度云盘get到了,还是中英文字幕哟。

下面是正题,
00:59:58 前奏开始,前往盖茨比的庄园,她就像一个精灵,水池前的回眸一笑……01:02:45
其实第一次看的时候,觉得中间的舞会的爵士乐好像也是。
01:14:40,已经开始前奏了,但在01:14:52才比较明显……01:15:20左右结束
01:22:50, He knew his mind would never again be free to romp like the mind of God. That falling in love would change his destiny forever. And then I just let myself go. (01:23:20其实我觉得这里的一小段音乐也蛮像。)
02:08:20, Tomorrow, we will run faster, stretch our our arms farther, and one fine morning. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back, ceaselessly, into the past. (终)

很抱歉没有看过原著,单单看的电影。还是想去看一下书。
来自《红磨坊》巴兹·鲁赫曼导演的华丽视效,以及Jay-Z原声带执行制作,嘻哈爵士潮流的碰撞,各种大牌的歌手,还有Leonardo DiCaprio、Carey Mulligan、Tobey Maguire(咳,我要坦白承认这三个名字的英文是搜索的)。总而言之,诚意十足。但是个人总觉得过于匠气,略显做作。爵士时代的纸醉金迷,夜夜笙歌,绚丽色彩,璀璨烟花,过于现代化的画面和音乐,电影过于浮华,反而显得更加苍白。
老实说,看完整个影片,The Great 像是只用金钱堆砌,连 Gatspy 这个应该翩翩佳公子被小李子的西服扣子毁得差不多。印象最深的有三个地方,扔衣服,Lana Del Rey《Young and Beautiful》,结尾。肆意的爱情,慵懒沙哑低沉的嗓音与幻灭感,最后的绿灯。而最爱的是《Young and Beautiful》,不能更合适。喃喃细语,压抑低沉,慵懒感伤。看到豆瓣的评论,“意兴阑珊恣意率性又小心翼翼忐忑不安”。爱情这种东西,甘之若素。歌词大概也是Gatspy想问的吧,"Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?"而后的自答,"I know you will, I know you will,I know that you will."
In me the tiger sniffs the rose。心有猛虎,细嗅蔷薇。可能说起萨松大家都不熟悉,来自他的《In me, past, present, future meet》。
Gatspy对名誉与金钱的渴望与追求,对旧时爱情的执念。那封承诺的信带着他的野心与不甘,他最终成功了,即使依然自卑地编造身份。还有那个下雨天,他的忐忑不安与最终的亲密相谈。他为她举办聚会,他为她承担罪责。他心中的猛虎为她细嗅蔷薇。
然而,悲剧就是把美好的东西打碎给人看。最后一枪的结局,新闻的功利,社会的冷漠,黛西一家的不告而别。剩下的,只有那个唯一最有希望却最终死去的不甘者,另一个厌恶却无力自拔的旁观者。
附歌词,值得一听
I've seen the world
Done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, the city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in, the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Dear lord when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him in
Father tell me if you can
Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful
另,熟悉打雷的人应该都知道,她会有很多mix的版本。
