Mia Farrow

off the same book both are remotely the same there some major differences though. The actors are different so therefore they each played the part differently. I think that Leonardo played a better Gatsby his presentation of him was far better than Redford’s. He became the part, to me Redford had no emotion whatsoever. I think the love was better shown in the 2013 version rather than the 1974 version. In the older movie the love that was supposed to come off as forbidden came off as acquaintances who’ s “love” was actually lust. It wasn’t shown in the best way that they were actually in love it looked like she was using him and in the end when he died. It didn’t even matter to her anymore. While the love was better in the 2013 version, Mia Farrow played a better Daisy. Her acting was not the greatest with the overdramatic ness but she got the personality of daisy down. I think both Nick’s were played very well and i think they both did a fantastic job. Another thing different about the movies is what they chose to emphasise. In the old movie Gatsby’s dad goes to his funeral, in the new movie he does not hes all alone. In the old movie when Gatsby dies he thinks daisy is coming and keeps saying her name. But she never calls and she never comes. Gatsby died lonely and not finishing what he had started. In the new movie the phone rings and gatsby climbs out of the pool to answer it. The butler says that Mr.…

Accents of the group ABBA are seen throughout Mama Mia. The songs which exhibit pop rock, glam rock and Euro pop disco texture are mainly derived from the groups previous albums. The use of both prose and poetry were used in Mamma Mia. Chiquitita is one of the songs that is almost entirely poetry. Tanya and Rosie are consoling Donna while singing to her and trying to get her to buck up. There was spoken dialogue throughout the show. The text during the show was understandable for the most…

According to Allen Barra, “There is no disputing that Title IX has been a boon for America’s young women, who are now displaying their athletic talents on fields and on courts that were long the bastion of men” (21). Barra’s statement could be taken in a literal or a figurative sense. Women are literally demonstrating their talents in sports where men were once the only stars; however, women are figuratively demonstrating their talents off the field also. Not only can women play sports and be…

the sales agents under them. They hold small gatherings once a month for district groups and every meeting starts with a game to win a money prize or gift certificate to a restaurant. Regional conferences are held once a quarter, however, it is more of a cookout because the regional manager is famous for barbequing a whole pig and inviting everyone to his house to sit and talk about how everything has been going.

times, but the film versions from 1974 and 2013 are the two most well-known versions.

While both versions of The Great Gatsby have phenomenal casts, both lead characters have been portrayed in similar ways with different characteristics being the…

Jay Gatsby was played by Robert Redford who has played in many movies and won two Academy Awards. Tom Buchanan was represented as a strict, dishonest husband by Bruce Dern. Then, Daisy Buchanan was played by actress Mia Farrow. The three brilliant actors/actresses played an essential role in shaping the attitude and mood for the movie. Together, they represent a symbol of the 1920’s American age of romance and pursuit for the American Dream. All of this would not be the same without the vivid…

times the upbeat songs contrasted with the somber time within the story. Fitzgerald would be fractious by the lack artistic justice in the older version of the film. However, in contrast, the newer version of the film chooses to use modern music that instead of adding period based music, artistically add a connection to the emotion of the storyline. In addition to music choice in film, the casting of actors helps to portray the characters of The Great Gatsby adding to Fitzgerald's artistic…
