    movies. We often watch more than one movie on this special night.

    explains he is in fact Gatsby. 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.

    “The dominant spirit‚ however‚ that haunts this enchanted region‚ and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air‚ is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head.” Although the movie Sleepy Hollow is based upon the book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow‚ there are also distinctions which allow each to tell their own tale.

    Even considering the complicated format of the book‚ David Fincher managed to almost perfectly illustrate the novel Fight Club‚ by Chuck Palahniuk‚ in his movie of the same name.
