The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald gives the reader a look inside the drama driven world of the high class of New York. Told from the point of view of one of the novel’s protagonists Nick Carraway, the novel displays recurring themes of love and deceit. The narrator considers himself to be on the outside looking in, and he feels justified in judging the characters within the elite society due to his belief that his sense of morality is stronger than theirs.

Though Nick prides himself in his honesty, he falls in love with Jordan Baker, suggesting that he is not better than the high society he abhors.
The Great Gatsby Movie Choice Both Jack Clayton and Buz Luhrmann try to encapture the imagery read in the novel, The Great Gatsby by F, Scott Fitzgerald. Both of these directors wonderful movies, one being a 1974 film and the other being 2013. Gatsby wanted daisy to be his for the rest of his life but Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband stood in the way, so Gatsby fought for her and ended up getting shot and murdered. My belief is that F. Scott Fitzgerald would prefer Buz Luhrmann’s 2013 film of The Great Gatsby rather than Jack Clayton's 1974 film, the reason being is because I think that the details shown in the 2013 version of the novel would be more prefered for Fitzgeralds liking.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the author of a book widely renowned as the greatest American novel, is known for his tendency to insert autobiographical elements within his works of fiction. Within The Great Gatsby itself, Fitzgerald wrote scenes and storylines from his own corrupted and perverse experiences, ones brought about by his damaged psyche. The greatest examples of Fitzgerald’s personal biography within The Great Gatsby are the amoral female characters which he wrote. Nevertheless the fact that the 1920s are widely regarded as the era in history when feminism first began to have a fighting chance, Fitzgerald wrote his female characters as destructive forces who are less than their male counterparts and have to be controlled. Fitzgerald’s misogynistic opinions are present in Daisy, a woman villainized despite being under the control of others, Jordan, a corrupted girl who negatively represents the feminism of the jazz age, and Myrtle, a character who was written more like an animal than she was a woman. Drawing from his own negative experiences with women, including unhealthy obsessions with those out of his social league and an affair-ridden marriage with his wife, Fitzgerald branded his female characters within The Great Gatsby with practically irredeemable qualities, revealing his sexist ideals and intentions.
After viewing both movies, it is obvious that the old one is the better of the two movies. It was more interesting and fun to watch. It had the old 20’s feeling to it. Leonardo is a good actor along with Toby but those two just didn’t fit the roles of Gatsby and Nick. They both have baby faces and they just don’t look like serious people. Robert had more of a mature and intimidating look than Leonardo. Sam played Nick better than Toby. Toby lost his reputation and is a bad actor. He messed up in spider man and messed up as Nick. Overall the movie is better because it was more genuine and it followed the book.
