Costume Design
The costumes in this adaptation of the film will be very contrary to the previous version of the book. The costumes for the main characters will consist of brand names such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Giorgio Armani. The concept of this is to demonstrate the great wealth and the desire to show the amount of wealth each character has. Jay Gatsby will be the most fashionably dressed of the characters and will wear a great range of coloured suits; the colour aspect of his wardrobe is to show the contrast between his personality and freeness compared to the likes of Tom who is more plainly dressed due to his restricted imagination. Daisy’s character will wear very classy clothes, her wardrobe is to show off her physical beauty without stealing the spotlight, most of her

    Gatsby believes the sole way to Daisy’s heart is through material goods. Earlier in his life he felt like he wasn’t adequate for Daisy when he was in the military and living in a tent. He wanted to make money so he could fit into her life and be more appealing to her. His driving goal was to become a material success. When Gatsby shows off his imported shirts to Daisy, flinging them in a chaotic pile on the bed, it becomes apparent that he was right about her loving material goods. “ ‘They’re such beautiful shirts,’ she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. ‘It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such — such beautiful shirts before (93).’ ” Daisy is overwhelmed by the luxurious shirts are and cannot handle it.

    As a top selling mind wrenching, interesting book the film industry decided to make a film. Discussed is a compare and contrast of the book, “The Great Gatsby” written by F Scott Fitzgerald and the 1974 movie directed by Jack Clayton. There are few differences in the book and the movie. The biggest contrast between the movie and the book would be the stark contrast in the portrayals of Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby’s relationship. In the book Daisy seems much more caring and loving and not so much of a snob. Another difference in the movie is that of the narration of, “the film was quite different from that of the movie, making the storyline change”.(Cunningham) The difference in dress between Nick Carroway in the movie compared to the way Daisy dressed is a stark difference and should be similar in dress as far as the time era is concerned. The largest part is that in movies one cannot portray everything in the book but the movie stuck to the exact same story line and was very weak in the character department because of the fact the characters in the book were not very well represented.…

    The humble narrator of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway, owes his steadfast virtues to his midwestern origins. These moral virtues that he learned out west elude, however, him as he becomes entangled in a life of greed, corruption and lies. The promise of monetary gain brought Nick out East, but it was ultimately the dearth of morality and opulent lifestyle that prompted his return to the midwest. The death of Gatsby, a noticeable product of a flawed American dream, is the turning point for Nick, whence he realizes that West Egg does not promote the same values to which he is accustomed. Nick Carraway, transplanted from his midwestern roots to the glitz and glam of West Egg, is perhaps the only honest character in The Great Gatsby.…

    The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald is a critique of American prosperity, and the endless drive for wealth brought on by the economic growth against the background of Long Island, New York City. The Great Gatsby critiques materialism and the new American Dream, no longer defined by prosperity for equality, but by prosperity for the goal of excess wealth. Nick Carraway, the protagonist, views Jay Gatsby’s disillusionment about Daisy Buchanan, the object of his affection. The tale is not a story about past lovers, but instead represents a cast of characters chasing the American Dream which destroys them. The theme suggests that Americans have created a second form of aristocracy that the original founding fathers tried to escape. Each character…

    Baz Luhrmann resurrected the dying story of “The Great Gatsby” from the 1920’s by modernizing it to appeal to today’s audiences. People almost 100 years ago had greatly varying morals and lives compared to those of today, which Luhrmann realized and took that as a chance to tweak the storyline to grasp the attention of newer viewers. Anyone who has read the novel can instantly tell how different it is from the movie. Nonetheless, Luhrmann’s style and idea to take on the story from a new angle is fascinating and indubitably caught the attention of the nation when it came into theatres.…
