      Arthur Chu Retweeted The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

      When we were assigned that book in high school I barreled through it in one sitting and I'll still defend it to the hatershttps://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1366068173796216833 …

      The Great Gatsby, the actual book, not people's trash ass adaptations of it into a tragic romance/big dress up party, is a great commentary on American society and a fine piece of writing suck it, haters

      I think one thing that makes people dislike it based on the adaptations is the adaptations linger It's how you get the sense that the point of the story is costume porn or opulence porn, that it's a long dragging Roaring 20s party The actual book goes by fast, at least for me

      the recent movie made the parties look like big, fun, extravagant affairs, which was never the impression I got from the book

      I always think of it as how much a movie like The Social Network would drag if it were being made in the future where they saw the 2000s as a "period setting" and they wanted to wallow in the "authentic aesthetic" of 2004 and give us a window into "vanished techbro subculture"

      The book, which was written in the time period it's talking about, isn't particularly fascinated by its own setting and treats the extravagance of the rich with the jaded contempt it deserves

      the gif of a suave DiCaprio raising a glass in front of fireworks is so at odds with the desperate, kinda pathetic guy he is in the book. Nobody goes to his parties because they’re fun, they go because it’s what’s expected. then they get hammered and sneak into side rooms.

      Yeah Gatsby's a weird creep from the beginning that's the point I think modern readers don't get that in the 1920s his shtick with the formal mannerisms and calling people "old sport" and stuff was extremely dated and eccentric for the era

      He's like what we'd call an ultrahipster today, everything about him is too tryhard and trapped in the ambiguous irony zone No one knows if he's taking the piss or what He's like a guy from Florida who always wears a dumb hat and talks in a phony British accent

          He's the nerdy kid who only has friends because he has a pool and a Nintendo The whole reason Nick the contrarian gloms onto him and becomes fiercely devoted to him is it clicks for him that everyone thinks he's an exploitative ass but THEY'RE the ones exploiting HIM

          The kid who made his parents buy a PS5 just so he could have friends is not the asshole The assholes are the kids who come and play it every day and then still talk shit about him behind his back And adults are actually much better at being assholes than kids
