The Great Gatsby: Comparing The Book And Movie

Following most successful novels, movies are made based on the authors work. The Great Gatsby has seen two movies soar a top the box office within 40 years, once in 1974, and once recently in 2013. The storyline for both movies follow the original novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Nick, the narrator follows the lives of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. Throughout the novel, all Gatsby wants is to be with his only love, Daisy. The only problem is that Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan. Gatsby would do anything to bring Daisy into his life, such as using his riches, lying, and altering his identity. The two movie versions of The Great Gatsby from 1974 and 2013 are both very close to replicating the novel and both are great movies for their times. Although

The pacing of the two movies is in a way different, but during certain scenes they can be similar and have the same pace.
