The Musical Score Of The 1974 Adaptation By Clayton And The 2013 Adaptation

One of the differences that were most important was Johnny’s hand. Johnny’s crippled hand changed his life and made him look for another job. Johnny’s hand still gets crippled and then fixed in both the book and the movie, but in different ways. The book tells that Johnny’s crippled hand was caused by Dove, one of the apprentices with Johnny in the book . The book says that Dove gives Johnny a cracked crucible for Johnny to look at. Johnny reaches for the cracked crucible before it falls as it pours the liquid metal on his hand and makes it crippled. The movie shows Mrs. Lapham bumping into Johnny before he falls and his hand falls into the liquid metal. The movie didn’t include Dove, who gave Johnny the cracked crucible which made Johnny’s hand

The second difference is images. In the movie it showed images more than once to build suspense. In the movie it showed the clock multiple times to show that Frank Miller was about to come at 12:00. The movie also showed the legs of the people a lot to also build suspense.

With any comparison between a play and its movie counterpart there are bound to be major differences and key similarities between

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

and both films differ in the way the scenes are set out and shown to

The differences in Luhrmann's movie are very evident. The movie uses guns instead of swords. This differs from the book because it alters the fighting style and the way people are killed. For

Movie adaptations are widely produced in our modern cinematic world. Many book lovers criticize movie adaptations, proclaiming that it kills the spirit of the story, misses out on critical key themes, and eliminates the reader's and viewer’s imagination. The Great Gatsby movie, directed by Baz Luhrmann and released on May 1st, 2013, is a film adaptation of the book The Great Gatsby, written in 1922 by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The time lag between the movie and the book made some things unacceptable in our society. These changing societal proprietorship motivated Baz Luhrmann to alter the movie to be more suitable for current viewers. Consequently, there are many differences to be found between the book and the movie adaptation, which ultimately led to Luhrmann's movie being critiqued many times by the book’s fans, saying it was nothing like the actual book. Despite the fact that the movie adaptation of the Great Gatsby book follows the overall plot, it fails to show the racism, sexism, and abuse some of the characters withhold. The movie also fails to show the significance of the American dream, the condemnation of the lifestyle of the very rich, and it also annihilates reader’s imagination.

The balcony scene in both the films have different variations which exposes how one film is admirable and realistic that other. The two Zeffirelli and Luhrmann films are interesting and entertaining in their own ways, but the Zeffirelli film is much more preferred and realistic because of the traditional outfits, casting, and location choices.

What's better than finishing a great book? Seeing the movie version of it! You can experience the story in many different ways to see different possibilities and details of that story. I enjoyed reading The Giver and watching the film very much.

The film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s American novel “The Great Gatsby” (1925) approaches and interprets said literary classic with important accuracy in respect to the plot. The appealing pathos towards the audience through Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Gatsby, as well as Gatsby’s scripted character alone, exaggerates the themes intended for the better. Though Hollywood changes certain details visually, romanticizing scenes through modernized music and settings, it does not diminish the major elements of “The Great Gatsby” but perhaps strengthens interest and success in response, which is relative to the individual.

Both directors used the Shakespearean language. Zeffirelli and Luhrmann also kept the word sword in the movie.because in the 1968 version Franco zeffirelli used actual swords.and in 1977 both luhrmann used 9mm, but the had the word swords engraved into the glock of the pistol.and some of the other ways the films are similar is the Montagues and the Capulets still hate each other and never will get along so they just keep fighting over nothing.

The first clear distinctions are found in the setting of the movie. For example, the movie set in a beautiful, hilly landscape with soft dirt and plethora of trees. However, the factual story set in the Virginian forests with rugged terrain. Also, in the movie, John Smith’s expedition abruptly ended after a few days when one of his fellow colonists shot him. On the other hand, in the actual story, John Smith headed back to England after two years following a fatal gunpowder wound.

The first difference I spoted was is in the opening sequence of the film. The first scene starts out with a massive structure in the foreground and Robert DeNiro’s character arriving by train. His

Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby is exceptional in my point of view. The novel is about a young man named Jay Gatsby who had fallen in love with a woman named Daisy but at the first time they met, they were unable to stay together because of World War 1. Around the 1920’s, they were reunited through the assistance of Nick Carraway who was Daisy’s cousin, Gatsby’s neighbour, and the narrator and Gatsby tried everything in his power to make Daisy fall back in love with him by earning his wealth through bootlegging of liquor as well as, hosting extravagant parties even though he knew she was married to Tom Buchannan. Despite of Luhrmann’s editing of the novel as the way he captured it, he was still able to grasp the entertaining scenes and also the moral of the novel through characterization, settings, symbolism, music and costuming.

The Great Gatsby film is an adaptation of the novel written by Fitzgerald published in 1925. The film takes the form of a narrative where the story of the main character Jay Gatsby is retold on a second-hand basis. Jay Gatsby is portrayed as a rich, flamboyant millionaire and is a spectacle and interesting character throughout the film. Baz Luhrmann wrote and directed the film which over time has received mixed reviews related to the different cinematic issues that it contains. Two prominent cinematic concepts can be found in the film includes historical/social context and the aesthetic concept. This essay will analyze these two major cinematic issues and show instances where the film was able to effectively implement these concepts into the film and also instances where the film lacked the depth of implementing these cinematic issues.
