The one that was shown in 1974 was directed by Jack Clayton whereas for the new one in 2013 it was directed by Baz Luhrmann. They both convey the same meaning but the one directed by Jack Clayton went through the movie in a little quicker manner where it forgot the same details, but the one directed by Baz Luhrmann went slower with each scenes which allow us to see it in full detail.

Daniel Aguirre Ms. Tobias English III GT - 6th 12 January 2017 After analyzing both the movie and the novel, I have discovered similarities and differences. Ill try to compare and contrast the two since the movie does not depict the story exactly as how the novel does. Similarities There were still some similarities in the film that tied back to the book. One of the main ones is when Nick walks to Gatsby’s backyard and finds him standing at the edge of his dock reaching out to what was a green light.

The movie version of The Great Gatsby by Coppula is far less detailed than the book by Fitzgerald. In the first party that was thrown by Gatsby in chapter 3, many details were left out of the movie. These details were both minor and major, and left either a little or big difference o in the way the story was conveyed. The scene where Gatsby meets Nick for the first time is very different in the movie than in the book. Despite the differences that are displayed in the movie, the general plot and atmosphere of the party remain the same.

The Great Gatsby is a classic story that started as a book and has been made into four different movies that all have different adaptations, although how much do the characters truly differ in these variations. I have observed, the book, the 1974 movie, and 2013 movie for the reason that these seem to be considered the utmost popular. While reading and watching these, I have noticed that the characters don’t differ that much, nevertheless how each version differs tends to focus on different characters in greater amounts than others. In the book, it seems to focus the greatest amount on Nick, Gatsby, and Daisy, whereas in the 1974 version it focuses deeper about Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom, and in the 2013 version it focuses on Nick, Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom.

The movie cut out one of the side stories, the affair between Nick and Jordan Baker. The friend of Daisy’s from Louisville who is a well-known golfer, and her cousin Nick. Catherine gives Nick drugs in the movie and that was never brought up in the book. They also do not show anyone smoking in the movie, because they don't want viewing teengers to do so. Also I think would encourage drugs over smoking.

There are two movies made for The Great Gatsby; one in 1974 and the other in 2013. These two movies both do such a great job of displaying some characters, themes and plot points, that it is hard to choose which one depicts the book the best. The movies, since made in different time periods, display each theme from Gatsby in a different but also interesting way. Although the 1974 movie depicts the great Gatsby in such a detailed way, that was not the point of the book.

In this quote, the quote proposes the idea that the American dream is just a way to say, do what you want to do in life. This directly connects to the current day, because many people today follow social norms. They go to work a 9-5 job, go home, eat, sleep, wake up, and repeat the same steps, 6 days a week. The American Dream is supposed to encourage people to go outside those social boundaries and do what they want to do with their lives. Instead of working a 9-5, start your own business and work when you want to work.

The Great Gatsby is an iconic piece of American literature encompassing the 1920s era in American history. This story was written in 1923 by F. Scott Fitzgerald and was later adapted into a movie in 1949, 1973, 2000, and then once again in 2013. In the 2000 version of the movie the plot line was very similar to the book with only a few major differences and a few discreet ones as well. The movie however, also followed the book very well and even used direct quotes from the book helping you to understand the point Fitzgerald was trying to make. Markowitz the director made many good decisions in this adaptation as well as a few costly mistakes that made the importance of the book and plot line of Fitzgerald’s book.

To many Americans the American Dream is impossible, but to others the dream is a reality. The dream to me means to have three simple qualities while in America, freedom, equality, and success. These three qualities are keen when living in America because they not only proclaim what America is truly about but they are the qualities that make up America. Freedom is an important quality while living in America because it comes with many gifts, like being able to say what you want to say and being able to choose what you want without being told. Freedom isn't just being able to say or express what you want it's also not being enslaved by someone who wants to take over or control your freedom.

The entire plot of the movie “The Great Gatsby,” directed by Baz Luhrmann, is pretty much very accurate to the novel of the same name written by author F. Scott Fitzgerald. They both center around a man named Jay Gatsby who throws extravagant parties in hope that one day his love Daisy will wander in. Of course like all movies that are based off of books they all have their similarities and differences. Whether they be very small or very noticeable, sometimes even changing the entire story completely, they are still there. Sometimes the purpose of this could be that the director wants to add their own little twist to the story or it could be that they are going for a much deeper meaning or symbolism.

There are several instances where deception creates a false sense of reality in both the book and movie. Fitzgerald writes his book in first person with Nick Carraway as the narrator. The book presents Nick as garrulous. Therefore, the reader sometimes would detect uncertainty since the entire story is told by Nick. However, in the novel, Nick states "I am one of the few honest people I have ever known" (Fitzgerald 63).

“When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction—Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn” (Fitzgerald 4). Nick goes west for a while, but comes back east to sell bonds. He rents a small gardener’s house in between Gatsby and another godly rich East Egg. After the meeting, Gatsby whisked Nick away to Gatsby’s grand parties, gantlet outings to the city, but all for the chance, for Gatsby to meet Daisy, Nick’s cousin.
