The Great Gatsby Film Version
















The Great Gatsby was orignally a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in in 1925. The plot being of a young man by the name of Nick Carraway, who lives next to a mysterious and extravagent man, Gatsby. Nick and Gatsby become friends and Nick learns of Gatsby's true "job" and his obsession with Daisy, Toms wife. In 1974, Jack Clayton and Francis Coppola, turned Fitzgerald's novel into a hollywood movie. Francis, who wrote the screneplay for the movie and Jack who directed the movie kept them very similar in plot. In fact, besides a couple minor variations, the movie and the book are exactly the same. The minor varitations are Daisy is portrayed a little more snobbier in the movie than she is the the novel, wardrobes in the movie were a little off from what was said to be worn in the novel, and some other minor changes were made in the plot. For the most part the novel and the movie are very similar.
