Before finishing the book I decided to watch the movie in order to understand the story better. As I watched the movie for a second time after finishing the book I notice many things which have helped me understand more the message and symbols of the book. Once again the ending has almost brought me to tears It is amazing how people with so much money, Like Daisy and Tom, can just pay and run away from their problems. Gatsby was innocent and he had to suffer the consequences.
While I watch the movie I annotated on the costumes used in The Great Gastby, I focused on the main characters. The high and wealthy class lived on West and East Egg. Men wore suits, mainly bows and hats and women wore long dresses and excessive jewelry. If we compare the way Tom and Gatsby dressed with clean, suits, ties or bows and hats vs. what Mr. Wilson wore, dirty shirts and baggy pants, we can clearly see who belongs to the high class. The cloths each character wore represented their social class. The more fancy your cloths the more money you had.
While Myrtle dressed with simple and cheap dresses, Daisy and Jordan wore expensive fancy dresses with tons of jewelry to make them stand out. During a casual day at her house Daisy used long and beautiful dresses which today people will only were to elegant parties. She always had some type of jewelry, the amount depended where she went.
