Great Gatsby: Differences in the Film and Novel There are a few differences between The Great Gatsby novel and film. The scenes that are different do not necessarily change the overall plot of the film‚ but they do modify the meaning and tone of that specific act. However‚ even with the differences the film stays true to the novel for the most part. Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby stays fairly faithful to the novel‚ but there a few scenes in the movie that have been changed from the book. The first

Ultimately Bridget Jones’s Diary suggests that no woman is restricted by the era that they were born into. The film adaptation of the same name‚ made in 2001 and directed by Sharon Maguire‚ is a worthwhile adaptation‚ as it stayed closely to the main issues and themes of the book‚ while changing it in order to make a better viewing presentation.

These similarities between the novel and the film make up a huge role throughout the story. In the book there is a green light that shines at the end of Daisy’s dock just as in the movie.

Films versus books Nowadays‚ in the century of the technological progress‚ people tend to read less and instead of it they prefer to watch movies. It depends on people‚ but for me books are much better. Firstly‚ books develop in us the power of the imagination.

In the movie Patroclus is Achilles’s cousin but in the book he is his lover. I’m glad they made the change in the movie tho‚ cause I just couldn’t picture Brad Pitt with a male lover (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
