Discuss the key differences between the novel and the film and why those changes were made. The book “The Great Gatsby” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald was first published in 1925, the roaring 20s, bringing light to the darker side of the Jazz Age and revealing the hollowness of the American Dream. In 2013, a movie adaptation of the book was released, attempting to recreate what was portrayed in the book into motion picture.

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

For the cinematography analysis of both movies, I will be basing it on the final scene of both movies. Music and sound In Romeo+ Juliet, the scene begins where Romeo is chased by the police and he runs into the church. There is dramatic opera music as he’s being chased, this music is in the background of all the chaos in the scene with the loud helicopter and the police sirens, and this anticipates a climax for the audience.

Whether it’s chaotic scenes from the Moulin Rouge filled with outrageously dressed characters or the revolutionary remake of the classic Romeo and Juliet film, Baz Luhrmann is yet to come short in terms of excellences in creating cinematic masterpieces. ‘Theater, circus, film – to me it’s all one’ says Baz Luhrmann. [Bergin; 2016] Some critics label Baz Luhrmann’s work as ‘Over the top’ and others fiercely state that his unique style is justified when one looks at the full meaning, message and context

Luhrmann makes his films his own from the start, as opening scenes of all three of these films implement post-modern techniques instantly informing the audience that they are about to enter into Luhrmann’s hyper-real, visually
