The Great Gatsby Music Analysis

Coasting my rusty black Chevy Cavalier into my garage parking spot after school while playing my music on full is apparently frowned upon. My stiff gray colored neighbor Miss Thelma sits on her porch awaiting my exit from the blasting loud vehicle while probably prepping her words to shun me for my actions. She rises from her perch and moves to make contact with me as I hurriedly rush away with my schools stuff. Her words were peaceful about my fun music choices but as I predicted, “...next time, wont you turn it down? Your gonna lose your hearing by fifty.” This is the stereotypical views of older generations opinions on today's music but many aren't like that at all. Take F. Scott Fitzgerald for an example, he became staid but still youthful

The main party scene is a great example of this contrast in music in the two movies.

This is why Fitzgerald would have preferred the present version because it was the better version for connectivity and realism for the story and his own implied tone. This further allowing

The single elements can be seen as only one thing revealing the truth of the story in this context. Being said, were left with the multiple elements used to make the piece more like the original and Fitzgerald-like as possible. This is seen in the present style movie. His youthful acts act as his original personality and this is why F. Scott Fitzgerald would recommend the movie’s present version of his writing as the best expression of his views on the tone of the story. The pervading style of this new movie would be one of many loves because how it's so versatile too many different generations.
