Link to YouTube: Someone put the first 10 minutes of the movie version of Gatsby online. The movie copies some dialog word-for-word, but other aspects are invented. (For instance, the polo ponies make an appearance in the film.) What do you think of the casting they did for this film? Are Daisy and Tom and Jordan and Nick the way you imagined them?

Check out the video below. A student edited the movie version of //The Great Gatsby// and made it into a music video to the song "Mad World." I found it strangely affecting. (Good song, sad ending to the novel.) media type="youtube" key="i5AjBc9-Wcs&hl=en" height="355" width="425"
