The great Gatsby - the great known unknown. Everybody knows Gatsby, but no-one does.
Lavish parties held night after night at his (no expense spared) house.
He is mysterious. He is powerful. He is rich. Everyone has a grand Gatsby story. Everybody loves him. He loves but one... Daisy. His love for years. All this is for Daisy.
Trouble is Daisy has all but forgotten about Gatsby and has married Tom.
The green light across the water torments Gatsby as he feels her closeness compounded by her absolute distance.
Impossibility becomes close to reality and Gatsby almost gets his girl back... If he had only controlled his tongue... and his yellow car.
Gatsby is buried watched only by one friend. All those who professed a love for him blindly ignore his passing, or that he ever was.. Noone really knew Gatsby... Except all us fine readers!!
Fantastic book - an even more amazing movie... Especially if you see it in Jakarta!
