Here are two scenes from the Great Gatsby film 2013 and the Great Gatsby book that are similar, yet different:
1. The scene where Gatsby and Daisy reunite:
In both the book and the film, Gatsby and Daisy reunite at Nick's house. However, in the film, the scene is portrayed as more dramatic and romantic. The rain is pouring down, and the lighting is dim, creating a sense of intimacy between the two characters. In contrast, the book describes the scene as more awkward and tense. There is no rain, and the lighting is bright, which highlights the discomfort and unease that both characters feel.
2. The scene where Gatsby tells Nick about his past:
In both the book and the film, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, including his relationship with Daisy. However, in the film, the scene is portrayed as more emotional and heartfelt. Gatsby is shown crying, and there is a close-up of his face, which emphasizes the pain and regret that he feels. In contrast, the book describes the scene as more matter-of-fact. There is no mention of Gatsby crying, and the dialogue is more straightforward and factual.
