The use of the polysyndeton infers that the amount of ashes is endless. The "ash-grey men" in the valley of ashes are experiencing a tremendous agony as they "move dimly and already [crumble] through the powdery air" (Fitzgerald 24). Everyone in the valley of ashes is striving for

Similarly, in an academic journal (2012) written by Luhrmann, he argues how this mental illness like schizophrenia can be effected by low self esteem. Luhrmann argues that your chances of developing schizophrenia increases if you are dark skin, which will negatively impact their self-esteem. He also claims that your risk also increases if you are “beaten

Analysis of The Great Gatsby Movie and Book In 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby to share his opinion of the American dream; similarly, Baz Luhrmann--along with his cast and crew--created their own adaptation of the book. Comparatively, the book is better than the movie. The movie lacks in the portrayal of certain characters, but exemplifies the settings, and themes of the original source material. The main pitfall in the movie’s translation of the book causes a couple characters

linked to family history in some way (Mukherjee 3). For instance , the child with family member affected by schizophrenia has a higher increase in the chance of developing it as well (Luhrmann 3).

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.

Three of those films being Romeo + Juliet by Baz Luhrmann, West Side Story by Robert Wise, and Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet. Though adapting the same story, the way these films modernize and update the original story of Romeo & Juliet are heavily influenced by the audience and society of their time. However

. The 2013 film is full of excess, there is excess of sounds, color and visual effects. The era, in which the film, and the novel take place, is the era of excess, the characters live excessive lives, thus the cinematography helps create a feeling of excess that runs through the film. The 1970s was the age of the zoom lense in cinema. In Clyton and Coppola‘s version, the scene where Gatsby and Daisy meet for the first time, there is a close up on their facial expressions.This helps the audience

There are many differences to be found between F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, written in 1925, and the movie directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2013. These differences are examples of how times have really changed. In 1925, instances of racism and sexism were not uncommon. However, racism and sexism are not really tolerated or accepted in today’s time. To suit the modern audience, instances of racism and sexism were omitted in the production of the movie. Many other differences can be found between

Great Gatsby films that were made to interpret the book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. There are many movies however only the 1974 and the 2013 film will be evaluated.
