Film Review

1)The messsage of the book and the move-
Wealth does not equal happiness, money doesn't buy true love, love can blind you, Old money looks down on new money, People are selfish

2) Fitzgerald use of color-
specific character, helps to remember character, imagery, descriptive words, Nick as narrator is judgmental, symbols- the green light, Dr. T.J, Ekleburg, valley of ashes, cars bad driving= careless people.

3) Techniques used-
zoom in, close-ups, long shots, close-ups of background, rapid transitions eyes of T.J ro car, music, dead bird, shouting, blue died, Argument @ the restaurant, Daisy crazy, Tom excellent. Myrtle dramatic punching window.

comparison of the fimail characters

The female characters in the move are presented differently from that of the book. Fitzgerald used the characters to support the story and also to show each of their role in the main point of the book. One of the main female characters of the book, Daisy symbolised how the wealthy women of the 1920s live and their involvement in society. Daisy in book was materialistic, beautiful, very lazy and even though she may sound stupid she actually was very smart about her life. In the move Daisy was a very shallow character she sounded really dome. Myrtle in the book didn't rally have much of importance, she was just a supporting character to show Tom's behavior but in the move she was very dramatic and her importance in the story was very intense, like her cause of the death of two mean. Jordan both in the book and in the move was just there to support some of the ideas of the book To give information to Nick and to complex Nick's character in the move. She did not change as the storey goes on even though her character was similar to that of most of the wealthy women of her time she was presented as a smart and independent women. Overall The female characters of the move shoed the role of women in those times and how mean treat them.
