With all these different versions of The Great Gatsby in film, it is getting to be a little confusing to keep up with the story. With the new version starring Toby Stephens as Jay Gatsby, it does not quite match up with the original version or the most abundant in 1974(IMBD.com)
There are also some pros with the different film versions of this interesting novel. It shows and gives you different perspectives of people's interpretations of Scott's writings. Without the problem of the two stories ( film & book ) not matching up with information, they are quite realistic.
In my personal opinion I am more entertained by the film versions, for the fact that you can visualize better what is going on with the different people. Many may differ my opinion and say that can read the novel over and over again, just with the simple fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald writings are very lively.
Tell me about the 4 different versions of the film and why they were well received or not. The goal was not to compare the novel to the film. 60/75
