The movie begins with a quote that Nick's father told him when he was a younger boy however, the quote isn’t exactly stated as it is in the book. For example, the quote in the beginning of the movie says that Nick’s father told him to always try and see the good in people, but the original quote from the book would be “my father told me never to criticize others because they have not had the same advantages as I have been given”.

       New scenes are also added in the movie which adds more details to the story and expands the imagination of the reader more to understand what was happening during these certain situations/events. One of the new scenes added is when Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, and Nick are at the Bunchanan’s apartment and Gatsby is telling Tom that Daisy is tired of her and wants to be with him instead. This begins tension between Tom and Gatsby until Gatsby blows up in Tom’s face yelling at him to shut up repeatedly until the room goes quiet. Gatsby’s reaction also ended up scaring Daisy causing her to leave the room to which Gatsby began to run after her to apologize for what he had done. While this did not happen in the book, this scene is a very intense moment and causes the viewer to feel many emotions while watching. 

      While the film does a good job at keeping the viewer engaged in the story and staying original, there are some scenes that can feel rushed to the viewer and do not accurately portray the book. One of the scenes that feels very rushed is after Gatsby is killed by Mr. Wilson. This is because in the story, after Gatsby dies, Nick makes many phone calls to all of Gatsby’s clothes friends inviting them to the funeral and in the movie this simply just does not happen. Instead, the scene skips over and shows the large amount of paparazzi and news reporters at Gatsby’s funeral taking pictures of his body while a dialogue of Nicks’ thoughts are being read. 

     Small differences such as these actually have a huge impact on the film especially for those who have read the book prior to watching and we’re expecting a full on picture representation of the whole book. While not every detail can match and some changes are bound to happen, the Great Gatsby overall is a very great film and I would highly recommend it to those who have already read the Great Gatsby, and even those who haven’t read the book who just want to learn the story. The film is entertaining and really expands the mind of the reader while being able to visualize the scenes in the book and just how the setting of the story actually looks.
