What Is The Difference Between The Great Gatsby Book And Movie

The film The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann and produced in 2013 was a commendable representation of the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald that it was based off of. The roles of the main characters Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), and Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) were played on point. The movie mostly kept the same feeling as the book or helped the viewer understand it more. Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan’s roles in the book were recreated almost perfectly in the movie. The two actors really helped the person watching come to their senses about the love that they had for each other. They showcased the dramatic affection that Gatsby had for Daisy numerous times. For example, Gatsby expressed his love in the scene when he took Daisy to Nick’s property and started kissing her when her husband was at the party looking for her. Gatsby made you realize from one of the very first scenes that he loves Daisy when he is sitting at the end of the dock holding his hand out to the green light at the end of her dock across the bay. For somebody that has read the book the actors help you pick up on
It was hard to really picture the way Gatsby looked at Daisy, so to see it in the movie was extremely helpful because you saw just how amazed he was at her pure beauty. Daisy’s role was played really well too.
