The film The Great Gatsby have premiered in Norway, and one of Pentecost highlights was getting to see it. Both I and my better half have read the book, for almost ordinaal half a lifetime ordinaal ago, and could fill each other out over a glass of wine before the movie, to remember what happens. It is a tragic ordinaal tale - beautifully written by Scott Fitzgerald. The author was part of "The Lost Generation" group who stayed in Paris on 20 and 30's, along with, among others, Ernest Hemingway.
IA Moveable Feast Hemingway writes about his friendship ordinaal with Fitzgerald that: I was lucky to meet him just after a good time in his writing if not a good time in his life. Scott Fitzgerald who allready then had published the book The Great Gatsby, was a troubled soul, and lived in a turbulent relationship with his wife, Zelda - a woman Hemingway believed stood in the way of Scott F. Most likely, this is not right, it is much suggesting that she was a woman of great artistic ambition and a mental health could not bear the future requirements for female role. In addition, the two may not be good for each other. ordinaal
The film adaptation of the book is good, despite associations with Charley and the Chocolate Factory in the first stage of the Great Gatsby. Great costumes, great actors and a great story. SF's wonderful way of writing lapses, except for the few times he is directly quoted. The book is better than the movie, but the movie is well worth seeing.
Just as with Hemingway, I think the author is more exciting than the books he wrote. The time they lived in, the challenges they had and thoughts about art and culture - not to mention his own writing ordinaal - is worth studying. We meet a lot of this in A Moveable Feast, and for those who are particularly interested in SF and his wife Zelda, the book Zelda Fitzgerald. The tragic, meticulously researched biography of the jazz age's high princess by Sally Cline recommended. A short autobiography of SF is also worth taking a look at. And last but not least, WODDY Allen's Midnight ordinaal in Paris - a fantastic movie where we hit all the lost generation. Included Hemingway, ordinaal Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. Good movie!
