To start of the new semester, we learned about film analysis: Why might this be important? I’ll tell you why. Over the summer we had to read the incredible story by Scott F. Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. We read it because of many reasons. One reason is because we wanted to see the differences and similarities the book had with the movie. Not only that, but we also wanted to discover any correlations the story has with the American Dream. A difference that I noticed in the book and not in the movie, was that at Gatsby’s funeral his father was present. While in the movie his dad was not even mentioned. In contrast to the movie when only Nick went to the funeral. I thought it was terribly how Tom and Daisy just moved away without feeling any guilt! While watching the film we had to analyze, my job was to look for different patterns or symbols, which impacted the film. This is what I noted: - Green light (vanished to his importance when he was with daisy) - East egg (Wealthy descent/ old wealthy) - West egg (newly wealthy/ Social-climbers) - Rise of the colored people - Mr. Gatsby’s ring - Blue eyed advertisement (God see’s everything) - Guy who plays the trumpet (Jazz) (inexhaustible variety of life) - Invitation to Gatsby’s house for Nick (no one else had ever gotten an actual invitation before) (Foreshadowing a friendship) - Gatsby’s huge parties (to find daisy) (to make connections) - 350,000 pearl necklace bought Daisy away from Gatsby. However she regretted it the day after her wedding because of a letter sent from Gatsby. - Flowers and set up at Nicks house for when Daisy was going to come over for Tea (Shows that Gatsby really will do anything for her) - Daisy (American Dream) - Boat and Millionaire (was Gatsby’s ticket to become aware wealth) - Gatsby left for war and Daisy waited for him to return; he didn’t and so she left and he came back when it was already to late. A similar occurrence happened when she went to Gatsby’s party, he left for a call and Daisy waited for him to return but yet again he didn’t, so she left with Tom and it was too late for Gatsby and he stayed there in sorrow telling Nick that she did not like the party. - Gatsby is stuck in the past and thinks that he can repeat it like in his imagination. - The shooting star appears when he was a child and appears again when he mentions that his life needs to go only up; the same direction the shooting star went. - “Gatsby falling in love kept him from being free like the mind of God” - Both Nick and Daisy state this line, “and all I could manage…” Then they both leave the truth behind and away from Gatsby. - Gatsby (“The most hopeful man I have ever met, and will probably ever meet in this lifetime” ~ Nick) -Gatsby’s last phone call before he died was his last hope. - Money (sends the Buchanan’s away from their problems) |
