The Great Gatsby Movie Vs Book

200 Words1 Page

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. In the book, Gatsby takes Nick to lunch and he introduces him to Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish gangster. In the movie, Gatsby and Nick go speakeasy in a barber shop, and once inside they see Wolfsheim. In the novel, Gatsby is murdered by George Wilson, the husband of Tom’s mistress, who has gotten it into his head that Gatsby killed her and that

    During the middle of the book, Gatsby invites Daisy to a party with her husband Tom and that holds up a whole fiasco. Tom kind of knew that they were hinting at something because they were looking each other in the eyes and noticing just them and not anyone else (Fitzgerald 75). As they were all huddled at the party Daisy and Gatsby ran off with the help of Nick. So Nick at this point is the leading cause of why Gatsby was killed.

    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.

    William Hartford Ms. Hyde Period 5 1/11/22 Gatsby Review In this review, I will be comparing characters from the 1974 and 2013 “The Great Gatsby” movies and how they portrayed the characters from the book. The 1974 movie and the 2013 movie depict the very famous book called “The Great Gatsby” with very different approaches. Both these movies had major differences and color, scenery, acting, and much more. The character Nick, Gatsby, and Daisy are all played by very different actors and show a wide variety of emotions through their acting.

  • The Great Gatsby's View Of The Mental Hospital

    287 Words  | 2 Pages

    One major difference between the film and the novel is the existence of the Mental Hospital. In the movie the narrator Nick Caraway is hospitalized due to mental strain and alcoholism. This may have been a shock to novel readers but not a surprise. Although, the hospital does support the overall theme of the book because it shows the audience the power of “old money” and what it can do to an individual. Nick’s exposure to the corruptness of the East could serve as a reason to why he would need professional help dealing with the events that went on.

    The Great Gatsby is a biography of what Gatsby’s life was to the narrator, Nick Carraway. Nick is almost as mysterious as Gatsby. The reader only knows that he is from the Midwest, just like Gatsby, and because of this, he feels like he is the only one who understands Gatsby. Nick is intoxicated in many of his narrations and is extremely biased in favor of Gatsby and against Tom Buchanan. Also, in the scene of Gatsby’s death, Nick only considers his feelings and nothing

    Other minor details that are left out of the movie include the girl crying at the end of the movie, Nick going around and searching for Gatsby at the beginning of the party, and the orchestra playing a song for Gatsby at the end of the novel. Another small detail that is included in the movie, but not in the book, is a small scene where it starts to rain, and the party moves inside. Although these details are minor and almost unimportant, they contribute to a very different party in Coppula’s

    Such as the fact that Nick never meets Tom and Myrtle’s downstairs neighbors, the McKee’s, directly, how Daisy gave Gatsby his name because he introduced himself as Jay Gatz, and how Myrtle never purchased the dog directly though it is still present in the movie. There is also the fact that Gatsby and Nick are not introduced the same way as they are in the book. In the book Nick is sitting at a table with Jordan and Gatsby and mentions that he hasn’t seen the host. Nick still mentions that in the book, but Gatsby mentions Nick over without Jordan in sight changing that small piece of the storyline. The other minor difference that you pick up in the movie that you do not see throughout the book is that Daisy looks like she knows Gatsby is poor when she meets him, which changes the way their relationship is perceived.

  • The Great Gatsby Movie And Book Comparison

    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.

    The Great Gatsby Review The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays itself to be prominent in English literature while entailing various American ideals like the American dream. The adaptation of The Great Gatsby as a movie is quite accurate to the book and follows the plot along with these ideologies. Although at times the movie extends the plot or adds additional details, the additions are justified and contextually relevant. For example, the movie spoke more of Dan Cody and how Gatsby got “Old sport” through his mentor. The visual display of the book was unexpectedly detailed and cinematic, the selection for actors to play certain characters was quite exquisite, and the music was greatly done.

    Casandra Salazar Ms. Tobias English III GT 12 January 2017 The Great Gatsby After reading and watching The Great Gatsby, I gathered the dissemblance and alikeness in both the book and motion picture. As written in “The Great Gatsby”, the first example of similarity is that the book has the same theme to the “Roaring 20’s”. In the written book, Fitzgerald described the parties as huge and dramatic, where as in the movie, the directors did a fantastic job translating Fitzgerald’s words into a lavish visual spectacle of booze, sequins, and confetti.

    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).

    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.
