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 trial also presented how Tom was right handed and how he was at Mayella’s house

Arthur Miller’s play‚ The Crucible‚ and the movie with the same name have many differences‚ all of which contribute to the individual effectiveness of each in conveying their central message. Some of these were obvious‚ others were almost impartial. A few of these differences is that some scenes were deleted and some were added.
