Trimalchio: An Early Version of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

5.0

5/5

[Next review contains spoiler about both Trimalchio and The Great Gatsby]



I'd say I'm started as a dreamer, just as Gatsby did. I did believe in most of the charming ornaments at both side of the path that we both were walking through. But right in this moment, I'm just disgusted as Nick.

Reading Trimalchio just revived all the magic that I felt in the original Gatsby. And, as I don't think I reviewed Gatsby yet, I'll just tell what I did love of him. I first watched the movie, and all the magic and gathering of all the broken things that just sharped the spirit of what I saw that was Gatsby. All the loneliness that bleed the movie just made me fell in love.

Reading The Great Gatsby for first time was watching that all the fake sadness that I had was just a unreal and tainted vision of what Baz Luhrmann believed in his Gatsby. But the one from Scott Fitzgerald just was crashed with all the weight of the cruelty of the reality of his time. I didn't feel betrayed, because those two vision of Gatsbyjust showed us the reality of being a dreamer in a world where the dreams just can stayed broken.

Watching the way of the world of Gatsbywas really conceived, in the mind of F. Scott Fitzgerald was simply beautiful. Walking in the same path of loneliness, love, despair and, disillusion was gorgeous.



If you lovedGatsby, you need to read this, to watch the birth of Gatsby and his raise and fall.
