Comparison Of The Book And The Great Gatsby

Most of deletions of scenes are caused by the limit of time in the movie. However, the version of 1974 Gatsby movie didn't fully succeed in manipulating the order of plots and transiting the spirituality what the author expressed, though it quoted a great deal of sentences from the book.

The main plot point of the movie and the book alike is the idea of the American Dream. Gatsby is a prime example of how a man can come from nothing and rise into something. He came from a poor, Midwestern farm family and decided to leave home and be the best man h could possibly be. After sailing on a ship with his mentor Dan Cody

In the 1974 film version of The Great Gatsby, there were numerous differences in comparison to the 2013 film. The old movie, doesn't show Myrtle being hit by a car. It also didn't show Gatsby cleaning the car afterward. They wore less makeup in the old movie. There weren't any computer graphics in the old movie. It was all real life. The music was way different in the old movie, because it was very typical for the 1920’s. They also dressed very fancy in the old movie . Gatsby got shot and drowned in both movies, but in the old movie he was shot more than once. When they were leaving they were kinda racing each other when they were going to the gas station never showed that in the old movies.

There have been several different film adaptations of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby since it was published. While there have been more attempts of making the novel into a movie, only two seem to really stand out. One of these was made in 1974, with Director Jack Clayton. The second was directed by Baz Luhrmann and was released in 2013. Clayton’s film may be seen as superior to Luhrmann’s because of Clayton’s accuracy of the casting of ‘Gatsby,’ costumes, and screenplay in comparison to the novel.

The novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald is an iconic representation of the roaring 1920s and the different social classes and trends of the time. The Great Gatsby displays how far one is willing to go for love. The 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald was so popular that it was recreated into a film in 1974 and then recreated again in 2013. Although all three versions of The Great Gatsby were very similar and followed a very close storyline and script, there were some notable differences as well. However, the characters personalities and the representation of the 1920s were portrayed differently between the three versions.

In the newer version of the Great Gatsby movie they actually acted out the part where myrtle gets hit by the car. The acting is a lot more dramatic than I thought it was in the older one. In the newer one Wilson shoots him once and from a different position than he does in the other, in the other he shoots him four or five times. Nick is the only person who shows up to Gatsby’s funeral in the 2013 version, but in the older one Gatsby’s father also shows up. Gatsby says that he will take the blame for what happened in both versions and he waits for Daisy to call but she never does, even after his death. In both there isn’t anyone who really cares enough to go to his funeral, other than his father in the older one.

Beauty and sadness are also similar in the way they are recognized. Beauty, which is outside or inside has always developed and changed in the different time with different people. If the love of Gatsby for Daisy in the classis masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” used to be commented that was illusive and stupid. Then now, there are more and more people agree that it is beautiful as a lofty devotion of fidelity and intension. Clearly, standards of a beautiful love is dissimilar between the people in Gatsby’s age and people in later years. In the same fashion, standards of sadness has never “stood still” and depended enormously on its “audiences.” If most of people in the 1900s thought of the movie “Titanic” that is sad only for the tragic love of

The characters in this novel doesn’t look like I would have expected it to be in the movie. All of the characters look older in the film. In the novel it made the characters seem to younger because, Calvin and Beth had got Conrad a car for christmas towards the middle compared to the film Conrad had already had the car from the beginning. The lifestyle that the Jarretts live in is strange. Their lifestyle is strange because Beth doesn’t like to interact with Conrad. Beth really just likes to go on trips with Calvin and leave Conrad. I feel like the film is strange because when Calvin, Beth, or Conrad step outside there is never any kids or cars going through.

The Great Gatsby one of the classics of the twentieth century due to the connotations novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald gave to the dialogue, setting, mood\tone and characterization that favor the novel. Along with this drama and fiction book many films were made like The Great Gatsby by Jack Clayton, 1974 version who is faithful to the basic story but is slower and less vibrant. On the other hand is the Baz Luhrmann, 2013 version who is also faithful to the basic story with some narration and dialogue directly taken from the book, but it also added more edge and drama to rise up the intensity in the climactic argument between Tom and Gatsby in chapter seven. In both film adaptations they interpret the novel differently through the use of tone\mood and how they visually present the themes and characters. Although they differentiate in various aspects they also share similarities.

The Great Gatsby (2013), directed by Baz Luhrmann, is a contemporary construct of the original novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. The essence of this film is to portray the “American Dream” as understood in the 1920’s. The film (as well as the novel) contains many themes that correlate to the depiction of the story. The main notable themes that are embodied throughout the motion picture are social class, love, wealth, isolation, and hope. Nick Carraway, whom the film is focalized, communicates the elements of the setting and main characters. He portrays this through his personal experience as an outsider to the wealthy world of the 1920’s, in which this motion picture takes place. Nick Carraway is a young man who is seeking the achievement of the “American Dream”. The three images that are included depict the main themes of the story as well as illustrate considerable meaning through cinematography.

Dreamers are those who dedicate themselves to bringing the world in their minds into reality, unwilling to accept compromise. Dreams are the realities that everyone holds in their minds giving their lives meaning and direction, but what happens when a dreamer dreams a dream far too grand for reality? Scott F. Fitzgerald critically examines the duality of dreams in The Great Gatsby, a story about a young gentleman trying to achieve the American Dream through the love of a wealthy girl from his past, and in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald places a heavy significance in lights of various forms and sources as lights not only serve as symbols of deception and truth, but also as the

The novel The Great Gatsby was by F. Scott Fitzgerald was published in 1925, the first film adaptation was directed by Jack Clayton in 1974, and the second, and most recently, was directed and produced by Baz Luhrmann and came out in 2013. Both the directors and the author presented the apartment party scene in a different light, which eventually even changed the tone of both the novel and the films. The films, like the novel, showed a spontaneous party that Tom throws in a Manhattan apartment he keeps for his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, wife of a Queens’ mechanic.

While reading The Great Gatsby, I wasn’t as emotionally connected to the story as I was when I watched the film adaptation of the book. The film was extravagant and portrayed the story’s plot perfectly. The characters and settings were alive in the film, making the movie exciting and interesting to watch. The book seemed to drag along the story's plot and was less lively because of the characters’ depressing tones. Unquestionably, the film adaptation of The Great Gatsby was more successful in portraying and illustrating the story Nick Carraway narrates.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald captures the story of life in America in the 1920s. This story is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota who travels to New York in pursuit of achieving The American Dream. Once in New York, Nick is fascinated by a man named Jay Gatsby. Nick saw a light in Gatsby that is portrayed throughout the story, for which he did not see in any of the other characters. In the novel, Nick had yelled to Gatsby, “They’re a rotten crowd…You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together”. This story is conveyed in two different films, The Great Gatsby (1974) starring Robert Redford and The Great Gatsby (2013) starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Jack Clayton’s (1974) adaptation of The Great Gatsby is

From the outrageous parties to his great sense of hope, every aspect of Gatsby is extravagant. This 2013 version of The Great Gatsby is interesting, intriguing and impressive. Full of vibrant colours, unexpected music and talented actors, this film is a constant source of excitement. The Great Gatsby is a literary classic written in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
