The plot was the same, Tom told Wilson it was Gatsby that murdered Myrtle and Wilson wanted to get revenge. This scene was a very important part of the book and I would think the director’s would want the scene to go exactly how the book told it to be.

Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, was a vividly compelling movie that lost some power through translation. It relates very well to modern times while still following the 1920s setting.

The story speaks of the painful disillusionment of a class of people who want to reach happiness through material ways. So the contrast between beautiful, romantic dreams is a bitter reality. Gatsby dreamed of delusions of Daisy's love, thinking that she would recapture her with what had caused him to lose her. The beautiful illusions in Gatsby's mind are completely opposed to real life.
