The great Gatsby,Baz Luhrmann(2013):
PS: Pictures not mine, credits to the owner.
Rating: 9/10
- Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
- All the bright precious things fade so fast… and they don’t come back.
- Well, I don’t care. He gives large parties, and I like large parties - they’re so intimate. Small parties, there isn’t any privacy.
- I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love…
- I hope she’ll be a fool - that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
- Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the models were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.

I can’t remember if I thought about this at the beginning. How it was doomed to end unhappily.
He nodded looking at me. I did, he said. I just thought it would be worth it.

His hand moves over her hair and he adds:
I love you. I’m not just saying that, I really do.
Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she’s aware of this now, while it’s happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person.
Sally Rooney, Normal People.
Marianne told him this thing about her family. He didn’t know what to say. He started telling her that he loved her. It just happened, like drawing your hand back when you touch something hot. She was crying and everything, and he just said it without thinking. Was it true? He didn’t know enough to know that. At first he thought it must have been true, since he said it, and why would he lie? But then he remembered he does lie sometimes, without planning to or knowing why. It wasn’t the first time he’d had the urge to tell Marianne that he loved her, whether or not it was true, but it was the first time he’d given in and said it.
Sally Rooney, Normal People.
He’s not someone who feels comfortable confiding in others, or demanding things from them. He needs Marianne for this reason. This fact strikes him newly. Marianne is someone he can ask things of. Even though there are certain difficulties and resentments in their relationship, the relationship carries on. This seems remarkable to him now, and almost moving.
—Sally Rooney, Normal People.
I know I’m not a great guy, he said. But I do love you, you know. Of course I do. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, but I didn’t know if you wanted to hear it. I’m sorry.
I was smiling. My eyes were closed still. It felt good to be wrong about everything. Since when have you loved me? I said.
Since I met you, I would think. If I wanted to be very philosophical about it, I’d say I loved you before then.
—Conversations With Friends, Sally Rooney.
You see me as a full human being. That’s why you are not attracted to me.
—Sally Rooney, At The Clinic.
The fact that Taylor said — ‘Fuck the Patriarchy’ in All Too Well (10 minute version) which might have been taken from Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends, which is apparently one of Taylor’s favourite books and also the soon-to-be-released tv series with Joe Alwyn as the main character — is eating me alive, and I didn’t know where else to go with all this bromelianised knowledge!

We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression.

She wants to tell him things. But it’s too late now, and anyway it has never done her any good to tell anyone.
