The Deteriorating American Dream
The definition of the American Dream is full of people’s imagination about a perfect life: fairness, justice, opportunity, wealth. But in my view, I believe that it is hard to be achieved.
The American can be achieved by dishonest, but actually most of American can not be achieved by anything. The American for everyone is not same, everyone has them own American dream. The American dream of Gatsby is Daisy. Daisy is a high society woman, Gatsby is also a symbol of the pursuit of high society. Gatsby at the expense of the pursuit of this woman, this woman is the surface of vanity, inner hypocrisy, just as Fitzgerald described the American high society. Although Gatsby is obtained by unlawful means of wealth, New York's politicians and business celebrities are still frequented the Gatsby home rave party, once Gatsby in distress, Gatsby's life on the extravagant jealousy, and Daisy also betrayed him, pushed him into the dark.
The park avenue show us a game called “Monopoly game” but it has difference the normal Monopoly game. He lets one of the players start at least twice as much as the other player. He observed that the "rich second generation", who had more fortune in their possession, won the game more easily than the other, and they quickly generated a sense of superiority in the game, the other "poor second generation" And not the slightest sympathy.This movie use just 50 minutes from the extreme point of view the rich and the poor combined with the US political system explains why in a capitalist society, the poor people are getting poor, the rich people are getting rich.
