This scene clearly shows Gatsby’s driving, which is very reckless yet he clearly knows what he’s doing. It’s impossible for him to have hit Myrtle

[Foggymist]

It just goes to show that gatsby was a great driver. He wouldnt have hit the girl

[geophph]

I love how this scene is taken almost word for word from the book, just like it always should be.

[juliawarren]

For anyone that thinks that this scene was badly edited: it's supposed to be this way. It's fast paced, euphoric, and imperfect... It represents Gatsby's speech, and Nick's impression of him in this moment. If this scene feels like "it's on cocaine", it's because that's how Gatsby is behaving... He's being hyperactive, talkative, and unpredictable.

That car is a Duesenberg Model SJ supercharged from 1932 with 320 hp and a top speed of 225 km/h, it was one of the most expensive cars of that decade. It's beautiful.

[tamayako]

Jay is me when talking about any of my I actually feel proud of.
Nick is me in basically any other conversation.

[brayancranston]

"I didn't want you to think I was just some nobody"

[centigradzcentigradz]

It's truly heartbreaking because Nick knew he was lying and he still appreciated Gatsby as a good human being. If he didn't that so highly of Gatsby knowing full well of his nefarious deeds he would never have tried to reunite Gatsby with Daisy. The thing is Gatsby didn't need to lie to Nick. He could have been honest but you know that he wanted his only true friend to think so highly of him.

[Kenneth_villanueva]

the way he drives is cool yet made me anxious

[darkgirl]

There is actually one interesting bit in this scene. At 0:43 Gatsby waves at a truck full of lower class workers.

Gatsby was stressing about how rich and upper class he was, but paused to wave at the poor who obviously knew who he was and seemed to hold respect for him. Hinting that he has helped them out in some way or was kind to them.

This right here is a sly hint that Gatsby is not as high class as he claims to be. Gatsby recognizes the struggles of the poor enough to care/acknowledge. No rich person would ever do that.

0:13 "Oh, well"
Tobey gave the same reaction in Spider-Man 2 when J Jonah Jameson asked him "What do you know about High Society?"
xD

[daunteuflay]

1:53 this 4 second shot gives me chills and i love it

[smithsonian]

1:56 I didn't really pay attention to this movie when it came out eight years ago, but now that I can watch it on my own terms, he is flying down that street 😂

[thehumenthing]

I like how the book has a more relaxed and normal vibe (but still very much chaotic) while the movie decides to make everything go 5x faster with no brakes

[golfer]

This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

[corporalcreative]

The only man in history who can get away with speeding, even every officer can’t right him down

[YoRon]

There have been a lot of Gatsby movies, but I think this one's the best, and DiCaprio is a really good Gatsby

[ComradeConfucius]

Even if Gatsby had been a poor nobody, Nick would have been nice to him all the same.

[Nothing-chdw]

From what I've seen of videos of cars driving around this time this seems very authentic.

[panicqueen]

I just love the way Leo talks in this movie
