The Great Gatsby Book Vs Movie

349 Words2 Pages
I. Introduction/ Narration A. Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby (2013) was the version, out of the two given, which had the best impact on me regarding formatting towards the original (does not work because the other one is not supposed to be like the original). The presentation within this movie was simply grand. Extravagant scenes from Gatsby's towering mansion to the chaotic parties within, to the slums of the City of Ashes, which, even in there negative form, also seemed grand in an impressive imposing. The usage of pacing from quick, rapid shots to ones in slow motion really added even more to the film; emphasizing even more the extravagant ridiculousness of the events from Nick's viewpoint. Making it seem even more amazing.
