The saying, “You are who you surround yourself with”, shows how Gatsby surrounded himself with criminals, and eventually became one himself. Within the novel, Gatsby’s true backstory is kept hidden until the end. Fitzgerald did this intentionally, so that the reader would seek information on the…

Film Music dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnn dun. dunnn dun. dunn dun. dunn dun.

the screenplay with the help of David Seltzer. This film had a musical environment that was not unusual for films that were made at that time. During the 1960’s-1980’s we had huge musicals such as Sound of Music, Marry Poppins, Grease, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Annie, etc. The most important part of the story is Willy Wonka himself and for this film Gene Wilder was picked to reenact Mr. Wonka (Mandell).

The movies that are remembered and considered good, are the ones that bring people to tears, keep people up with the threat of nightmares, the ones that make you feel empowered or powerful and the ones that leave you thinking about them days and weeks and years after you’ve watched them.
