The great Gatsby movie vs. boo
In the movie there were many parts that were the same as in the book. Surprisingly, there were some facts that were left out that were critical for the story. The movie showed many things as they are described in the book, the golden toilette set, the medals and Daisy's picture where shown in his desk, the sign with the big eyes and the glasses, which is later on seen as a symbolism of God, and the green light across the bay to show how Gatsby constantly thought of Daisy. The preparations for Gatsby's parties were almost as the book described them, with the orchestras preparing for the night, the big tents being placed on the garden, the tons of food being brought for the dinner, the grass getting cut before the event and all those preparations Gatsby had for his parties. But they skipped a part that was discussed in the book, the hundreds of oranges that were brought in the morning and the tons of orange skins that were left after the party. Not everything was perfect in the movie, there were many small parts that were changed. Some examples are the color of Myrtle's dog, in the book it was white and brown, while in the movie it was white and black. The dress Myrtle used during the party at her sister's house was white in th
The movie takes place over two years, not three, and many events are left out. The children have no contact with Mrs. Dubose , and the movie never shows the classroom inside, so you don't see any of the conflicts with Miss. Caroline, Miss. Gates, or anyone else. The movie never gets into Maycomb's caste system, so you don't know that the Ewells are considered to be "trash." The incest between Bob and Mayella Ewell is never discussed during the course o fthe trial. The movie tries to go around the subject by showing Mr. Ewell start stalking Jem and Scout before Tom's trial begins, and you see that Mayella is frightened of her father. The courtroom scenes are condensed in the film. Atticus Finch says a shortened version of his closing arguments to the jury. The movie doesn't show the aftermath of the trial or show the conversation Atticus had with his children to help them understand the case. Calpurnia is treated respectfully throughout the film by everyone, the children never attend Calpurnia's church, and on the day of the trial, blacks and whites enter the courtroom together. The film does however hold value to the book. For the most part, it doesn't miss any major themes and is still a powerful version of a classic story. Some parts that were useful to understand the movie were changed to lame scenes. When Myrtle's sister tells Nick that Daisy is a Catholic. In the movie the scene just goes on, while in the book, Nick thinks to himself that Daisy is not catholic, which shows that it is a very ela
