Quickwrite #2

I think the adaptation of the Great Gatsby was very accurate to not only the details of the plot, but also the overall tone and feel of the novel. I loved the portrayal of pretty much all of the characters and the setting. I think the movie brought a lot of the imagery to life from the novel. I noticed in some of the scenes that the dialogue was almost if not exactly the same as what was in the novel. The true encapsulation of Gatsby is what impressed me the most because the film captured his ambition and spirit. I also felt that Tom and Daisy were played well in accordance to their nature from the novel. My only complaint was some of the way it was edited and shot. There was a lot of added in overlays and things that both distracted from the idea and also added to it. At times I felt it was unnecessary but some of the party scenes could have used the elaborate editing but meh.
