Imagine if the love of your life betrays you in a way that you would have never imagined. The pain that you feel may be forgiven but never forgotten. This is clearly represented in the novel and adaptation The Great Gatsby written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and directed by Baz Luhrmann. Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s novel appropriately portrays the Roaring Twenties, also known as the Jazz Age. Every individual’s goal during this time was to accomplish their own version of the American Dream. Luhrmann’s

Throughout the 1980s, there were movies that had a certain kind of feel. A feeling that was symbiotic with its soundtrack that seemed to paint colors in neon flashing lights. The 2011 Indie flick Drive brought that 80s vibe back with vengeance. Starring a cold and quiet Ryan Gosling, Drive creates a world engulfed by crooks, and second wave music. On the deserted streets of downtown Los Angeles, a mysterious stuntman and getaway driver flourishes through the night. Drive (Original Motion Picture

The Great Gatsby Told by Nick Caraway, and written by Scott F. Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby is a classic novel that gives readers a glimpse inside the lives of the wealthy during the roaring 20s. The story follows the lives of Jay Gatsby, a man of new money, Daisy Buchanan, a married girl of old money, and Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s deceitful husband. Jay Gatsby is a man of mystery, with seemly unlimited funds, who throws ridiculous outrageous parties for no apparent reason. It’s learned that he has

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1975 book The Great Gatsby was already a successful book even before Baz Luhrmann, an Australian film and theater director re-created the classic story into a modern twist. Not to mention, The Great Gatsby is a true story. The film was released May 10th 2014, however Luhrmann claims he wanted to remake the film since 2004 after listening to the audio book on the train. The film begins in black and white and with a tracking shot following the mysterious green light. We are

The Great Gatsby (2013) is a romantic drama film directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film’s screenplay is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925) novel “The Great Gatsby.” It starts Leonardo Dicaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki and Isla Fisher. It follows the life of a multi-millionaire Jay Gatsby from the perspective of the narrator Nick Carraway who moves to New York out from the Midwest chasing his own American dream and end up living next door to Gatsby.

Scott Fitzgerald would prefer the 1974 version of the movie more because it has that feeling of bringing the scenes to life in just the right 1920’s

She did not act like a “fool”, but it seemed as though she wanted to be a fool so she could at least be happy if only for a while she nailed the soft-spoken voice and childish personality. I liked the way Carey showed her emotions and how sweet and innocent it came across in the movie. Joel Edgerton played the powerful and rich Tom Buchanan, he made Tom’s personality seem a lot better than Bruce Dern. Bruce Dern was very soft-spoken and it took away from

mysterious, reclusive man and the only thing you really know about him is that he is extremely wealthy and he likes to host lavish parties in his enormous mansion in West Egg. Another key component of this film is Daisy Buchanan who is played by Carey Mulligan, she is the wife of Tom Buchanan, who is played by Joel Edgerton. Despite the film’s obvious exaggerations, for the most part it still stays true to the original text.
