In the 1974 film version of The Great Gatsby, there were numerous differences in comparison to the 2013 film.The graphics weren’t good as the new moive. The way that they dressed back in their days. Makeup wasn’t a big deal back in now every girl wants to wear makeup. Myrtle broke the window. Gatsby got shot and drowned into the pool in the both movies. I liked the movie The Great Gatsby I think that this was a great movie during the 1920s. No It wasn’t the same as the book they switched out Nick for someone else.

    The Great Gatsby: Adaptation Of Novel Into Film

    In today’s society, majority of people would watch a film rather than read a novel. ‘Adaptation is, perhaps, the result of an increasingly post-literate world in which the visual image dominates’ (Cartmell 145). Has film become the new form of art? Does an adaptation have the same effect? I will be analysing the adaptation of novel into film and how changes are made to suit a certain audience.…

    The Great Gatsby Daisy

    In the sequence of ‘The Great Gatsby’, we face off with multiple accounts of the women’s role in that era of history. The author was a man that goes by the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the creator of ‘The Great Gatsby’, and he constructed the characters to represent deceit, obsession, greed, power, and romance. His writing style is that he uses present tense in the beginning of the sentence, but then reverse it to future tense by demonstrating a sense of shift of the narrator’s, Nick Caraway, thoughts and actions in order to explain the ordeals in his surroundings and the outcome of it. Even though this novel was marked for the men’s deception and the women’s flirtatious ways, the three women’s behavior, Daisy Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, and…

    What Is The Difference Between The Great Gatsby Book And Movie

    The difference in the characters is so interesting because we have a person named Gil who is like a mix of Gatsby and Nick do to the factoring of his traits and the way he acts in the movie. Unlike the Gatsby from the book as well as movie Gil is not rich and his “Daisy” is a woman named Inez who it turns he is already engaged to. Just like Daisy, Inez is cheating on her (soon to be) husband without even caring. It’s a scene which doesn’t surprise you because you can guess what’s going on by her actions and the way she acts around the man and how she seems to always be alone with him. He is also her ex-boyfriend which means there is this tension there, Gil’s character is so oblivious to what is going on around him much like Tom is when it comes to Gatsby and Daisy being around each other so much and how they seem to disappear at the same time at Gatsby’s…

    Compare And Contrast The Great Gatsby Movie And Movie

    Bizzy Emerson wrote a review on the Huffington Post saying,” The Great Gatsby lived up to my (high) expectations… Director Baz Luhrman transports his audience into the era of the 1920s, but with modern edge and a flair… His quick camera movements and dizzying displays of color and glitter captured the "hysteria" of early 20th century New York City, all while encompassing the unique nuances and eccentricities that Fitzgerald had tucked away in his novel.” (Emerson). Emerson argues that the “hysteria” elements Luhrman captured in the movie is what made the movie a better rendition of the book, but in fact she is wrong. She is wrong in the sense that Lurhrman went over board with some parts of the film.…

    Lastly, one of the major differences is the ending of both book and movie, in the end of the 1974 movie the people hopped off a boat onto an island and danced the night away with music playing in the background as the credits begin to fall. It has nothing to do with the real ending of the book, which says, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I think this part refers back to Gatsby’s comment (chapter 6) about the past repeating itself. Which brings to mind, did Nick change his mind?…
