“The film adaptation of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2013 is almost as ingenious as the novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. It is easily understandable and maintains the audience atmosphere watch out until the end. The scenarios, in most cases, are very close to the description given in the novel and are very pleasing to the eye. The actors are also well chosen in most cases. The costumes perfectly fit the description of the 1920s, the computer-generated imagery technology enhances the film's themes, and the music appeals to the audience's auditory senses, among other things that will be explained below. Another aspect that contributes greatly to the film's greatness is the narrative. The film begins with Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire) who is in an asylum being treated for alcoholism and anger issues. During his stay there the doctor asks him many questions which lead him to tell the story of his unknown neighbor and friend, Gatsby. This is where we meet Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton) who is immediately seen as having a hateful and aggressive nature, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan) his wife and Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki). The latter makes one of the worst but somewhat satisfying first impressions on Nick. We were also given a brief introduction to two temporarily anonymous characters, Tom's lover, whose "metallic screeching" was hard to ignore, and the figure of Gatsby holding out his hand towards the "green light" across the bay. Then, we return to the asylum where the doctor pushes Nick to write a memoir about his experiences. It begins with the description of the Valley of Ashes, which is a very faithful replica of the one described in the novel. Even the character... in the center of the card... film. To conclude, the 2013 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby was quite successful by remaining faithful to the novel while at the same time effectively portraying its message in most cases. The scenarios effortlessly resemble the depiction in the novel. The costumes are also quite important as they not only mirror those of the 1920s but are also used to allude to the novel's themes along with computer generated imagery technology. The actors, excluding Elizabeth Debicki (Jordan Baker) and Isla Fisher (Myrtle) fit their portrayal in the novel correctly. Apart from these few characters, everything remains largely faithful to the novel. However, Baz Luhrmann uses the modern musical genre instead of 1920s jazz music to tell the story and create the atmosphere of the film. All of these factors combine to make this one of the greatest adaptations of The Great Gatsby.
