In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald used the beauty of words to demonstrate how far people go in hopes of pursuing the American dream. This extraordinary classic also tells the story of one man's troubled love and passion for tangible and abstract possessions in a world of riches. Baz Lurhmann has amazingly interpreted Fitzgerald's composition through film productions. However, due to modernization, the 2013 film "The Great Gatsby" veered away from Fitzgerald's work at times; resulting in a dubious and interesting comparison between the two mediums. In Fitzgerald's novel, his view of the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby contrasted strikingly with the portrayal of his character in Luhrmann's film. In contrast to this, Lurhmann's film leads the audience to perceive Gatsby as a dreamy and immensely romantic individual. In the film, in the novel, they come across as characters with a minor spark in their friendship; otherwise noted as lust. Moreover, there were indeed moments in the novel when Nick “no longer thought of Daisy and Gatsby, but of this clean, harsh, limited person, who acted in universal skepticism” (Fitzgerald 79). This connection in Fitzgerald's writing further exposed their characters to its purest form, emphasizing the natural human emotions they encountered. However, in the film, Nick and Jordan were just mutual acquaintances and friends. This allowed viewers to have little insight into how "careless" Nick was and how "incurably dishonest" Jordan was in the novel (Fitzgerald 58). Without a side story, the viewer's perception of his personality has veered off course. Instead, Nick and Jordan only served as supporting roles in shedding light on Gatsby and Daisy's on-screen romance. This specific framing strategy by Lurhmann highlights Gatsby's imperative character development, providing Leonardo Dicaprio with the platform to appear as a competent and effective character.
