The story so far Everything you need before watching 中文 EN
Tom walks into Gatsby's glittering party on Daisy's arm and immediately brands the newly rich filthy bootleggers. Daisy insists Gatsby is merely a businessman with a chain of drugstores. Gatsby parades a senator and a film star, then pins Tom as the polo player — a label Tom twice refuses. While they dance, Gatsby tells Daisy she lived in every idea and every decision. Left to amuse himself, Tom starts wondering where the devil this host met his wife.
