The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is a movie based on the well-known The Great Gatsby, written by the esteemed F. Scott Fitzgerald. Other films based off of books venture away from the original storylines, like Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. The Great Gatsby was adapted for the big screen in 1974 and 2000. However, the 2013 rendition of the novel is the most true to the storyline of the Fitzgerald novel. The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-throwing millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is this close interaction that draws Nick into the captivating world of the über-rich’s illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times
