The movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby maintained true to the original book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Although mostly everything seems to stay the same‚ some movie scenes differ. Nick’s character is tweaked and Gatsby’s parties are not the same. The movie also creates more false hope than the novel does. Nick Carraway is the first character introduced into the book and movie‚ but in a different aspect. F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces Nick right away as the narrator. He is giving a monologue about

However‚ due to previous attempts of portraying her works on film‚ I was actually left more skeptical instead (The pilot for the planned television series based off of Delirium was an absolutely disgusting mess). Thankfully though‚ this time things were done right. The movie stayed true to the book with minimal changes/cut out parts. There were some scenes that I wish

When I first watched the movie‚ I read that the producers were debating if they should have divided the movie into two parts due the book length. For this reason‚ a lot of print text was deleted in the movie; while other scenes were added to give the audience a deeper view of some scenes. One clear example that the movie was changed‚ is the scene when

I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don’t have to. The audience‚ cannot‚ even for a moment‚ be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise‚ you can have a teenage Scarface. "Moral Convenience" is what’s pissing you off. The HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones also does this. Good characters never "cross the line" where as bad guys say homophobic comments and express jealousy. This is the reason why fantasy-themed works

In the book and movie of To Kill a Mockingbird‚ the lesson of keeping one’s head held high is experienced differently. The lesson is openly stated in both the novel and the movie. Atticus says to Scout after a fight with Cecil Jacobs to‚ “just hold your head high and keep those fists down” (Lee 76). Scout had fought Cecil because she believed Atticus would want her to stand up for him. Yet‚ Atticus tells her the opposite and wishes she would let all the rude talk go rather than fighting those who

Last year‚ we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief‚ and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. My siblings and I had read and loved the books‚ written by Rick Riordan‚ so we thought‚ “How bad could it be? It would be amazing to see these incredible stories onscreen!” We were wrong.

However in the movie Gatsby being played by Leonardo DiCaprio it would give it away that he’s the man Nick has been waiting to meet so instead Gatsby over hears Nick say he hasn’t met the host and Gatsby turns around and says I’m Gatsby. One thing I did notice about DiCaprio playing Gatsby was he over used Gatsby saying “old sport” in the book he does say it a fair amount but not as much as he does in the film. In the book it seemed very much so that Jordan Baker and

tries to recreate a book into a movie‚ it is really hard to stick to all of the details because most movies have a time limit. If a director were to make a movie the exact way a book was written‚ then the movie would be four to five hours long. Not a lot of people would complain about it‚ but there is a cost limit to the movie as well. So‚ concerning The Virgin Suicides book and movie‚ you can see that there will be a lot of alterations to the books details. Although the movie and book of The Virgin Suicides
