The 2013 version catered to a more modern audience, hence the music. They wanted it to be relatable and make the audience feel what it was probably like if we lived in the same era. Stop the hate. Both films are amazing
Mark Acantilado yeah that is true... but tbh it was unnecessary because we as audience should relate to the story not much the style and music. In fact that is what makes the Great Gatsby a such classic...the fact we all relate to the main characters in different ways. That is what transcends time and generations. If anything the 2013 version just shows the style of the director. He is the same person who did the “updated” version of Romeo and Juliet in 1996.
There are differences. Pros and Cons. Personally, I would much prefer the 74 version, mainly because of different reasons. It tried to be bit closer to the book, it has some good actors that fitted the role. (I didn't like Redford as Gatsby, De Caprio is actually perfect) There were some parts of the recent film that made me raise my eyebrow. Do I like the music? It's okay. Does it fit the film? (mainly the time period) Not really. If I had the power, I'd make things different on somethings: the music would be slightly more of the 20s, (an example of Young and Beautiful by Post Modern Jukebox) the outfits in the recent does seem to match more of the 20s, while the 74 has some neat bits of clothing, it does have a bit of subtlety that doesn't make it too flashy. Scott Wilson did much better as Wilson. (coincidence, I know) Both Tom's were more or less the same. Toby McGuire as Nick felt odd and didn't feel like it fit. The flashiness while nice and fits a bit of the book just feels a bit too much and over done in the recent film. There is a lot I am jabbering on about both and it is my opinion. There is a pro con bubble with this. Again if I had the power (or money or neccesary parts to edit properly) to change the movie of a lot of things, I would be able to, while it might be personal to me since a lot may not like the ideas. I did like the book (while I have noticed some flaws from family) and I am someone who loves history too, and with some authenticity, it isn't always perfect. So as long as there are these pros and cons, I don't really care as long as they have a certain value with both films. It's all thoughts.
The gothic cathedral castle looking house of Gatsby of the 2013 version screams the true Gatsby in my opinion. It was the castle like dream Gatsby wanted for his princess Daisy.
In the 2013 movie, none of the rooms in the house are authentic to the construction of the period. It is all contemporary fantasy so it always just feels like a contemporary movie, and because of that, it never achieves the dreamlike feeling of the book. The 2013 film feels like an annoying person on drugs, so hyper and screeching. Neither the 1974 version nor the 2013 version are good movies. The 1974 version achieves the aesthetic feeling of the 1920's though. The 2013 version does not feel like the 1920's and it doesn't feel like the book. The 2013 version is empty. The 1974 version feels poorly thought-out and poorly directed. There's never been a good movie based off The Great Gatsby.
It seems this is an unpopular opinion but I felt like the 2013 version captured the essence much better in the way it was acted and personally I love how bright and gaudy it is. That’s the way the book is. It truly captures the decadence described in the book. And the modern music(which outside the film I wouldn’t listen to btw) only makes it more relatable to a modern day party yet keeps that 1920s vibes
I'm a teacher--taught TGG for 10+ years and read it...god...nearly 30 times... and I love the 2013 version, in part, for the way it works in the text or text with slight updates. It also follows the plot better. However, the 1972 version also is beautiful for the way it reaches into Fitzgerald's biography (cf. Daisy saying that "Rich girls don't marry poor boys" is an adaption of a slight by G. King's father--Fitzgerald's love before Zelda, although the same gets used but is directed at Nick... or the polo grounds scene which Fitzgerald writes about in personal letters). I appreciate the update to Daisy in the 2013--less vapid crying and more lines and cynicism. Oddly enough, I feel the same way about BL version of Romeo and Juliet versus the Zeffirelli version. I'd second your observations: the essence is truer to the 1920's that FSF lived--hell, he and Zelda often ended up dancing in fountains during their stint as the It Couple.
why do things have to relatable to the modern day? the modern day and its people are lost forever.....the past is the only living thing. The modern day 2013 version of the book is inflated and shows how inflated we are today.... we need to be wowed.... we need to be swept away by the bigger and the better..... The 1974 version is far more realistic in my opinion and shows the realism of the 1920s for what they were.... The 2013 version has inflated the largely inaccurate vision of the past. The use of camera shots.... the colours... the fashion style are all a massive dazzle that distracts the audience away from the story. The 20s fashion of the 74 version was more accurate. For example. The 74 soundtrack matched the mood of the book. When I watched the 1974 version I felt i was able to understand what was happening.... when I watched the 2013 version things were very unclear. A good adaptation is able to capture the story.... to be able to show the past..... the modern audience these days are being baby fed with baby food..... we expect the unexpected... all the famous faces... the buzzing action.....and this is why Hollywood has stopped making good movies.
Apart from the comparison, can we appreciate how both the actors capture THE SMILE of Gatsby mentioned in the book? 8:18 Gatsby needed to hear that praise, he prolly wasn't told enough that he was a good man at his heart and the people around him were all selfish. He had to hear that once before he died.
The 1974 version is more accurate to what the story would have been if it were real back in the twenties, the 2013 version is more accurate to what comes to mind when reading the book
I wish 1974's George and 2013's Tom could have worked together on this. They're both too perfect in their respective roles here, it's a tragedy they're separated by time
This is like im taking a look inside my own brain. Ive always physically wanted to see old and modern movies be compared side by side like this.! Absolutely perfect.!!
Still don’t like the new version. It’s just weird and the flashiness distracts from the movie. The CGI is also outdated now, even though that’s not really their fault it still looks bad. The music is really out of place and those fucking corny ass shots of Gatsby in front of newspapers and shit are retarded. I think they just said how could we make a classic American novel and make it with bright and colorful cgi with Jayz and other modern pop music so that the retarded modern day audiences will understand. I love shitting on this movie because it’s like just the perfect example of how 21st century movie studios don’t know wtf their audiences want so they just try to dumb it down so that everyone can enjoy, but instead everyone hates or try’s to defend by saying the colors were pretty or some shit
I feel like the 2013 version is better at capturing Nicks perspective on the characters compared to the 1974, but neither really capture the hypocrisy of Nicks character
Yes, especially how Daisy looks...I mean Daisy 2013 looks like innocent Merlyn Monroe, she look so angelic, sweet and soft that would melt mens heart, deep inside she is selfish and corrupt...while 1974 Daisy looks like gold digger and too flirty...I watch the 1974 ver, I can't see why Gastby crazy for her, she don't look like a golden girl..
I love both versions but I prefer 1974, I feel like it went more in depth. In the 2013 version I didnt even realize that Nick and Jordan was supposed to be a thing... The 2013 version is definietely fun and easier to watch though. I love the character of Nick in the 1974 version... and I found Daisy to be very unlikable in that one which I believe is the whole point. In the 2013 version they make her seem so fragile and innocent whereas in the old version she seems that way at first glance but if you look closer you can tell she is detached and only interested in money and having fun. I havent read the book because neither of the movie adaptions has inspired me to do so to be honest, but this is how I feel about the movies. Basically the 2013 version is more fun to watch but if you want something you need to concentrate more on and pay more attention to the 1974 version is the one to go with, it is more serious.
as an asian person i really have to admit that til the finish i couldnt remember or tell the difference between all the male actors in the version of 1974. they look way too similar. so i prefer the 2013 version where the facial attributes has more recognization in it.
The outfits in the 2013 version, is so much better than the 74. i feel like they represent the fashion of the 1920's better, and the 74 one feels too... 70's.
1974 represented 1920's better 2013 related to this generation a bit more so it's appealing to the eye but in reality 1974 is the perfect version in my opinion 2013 was kinda dramatic with the death of Gatsby 1974 was more realistic and quick.
@@satisfyingnai2080 realistic? Sure, but the 1974 adaptation was very bland. The 2013 version incorporated what readers imagined when reading the Great Gatsby, so it makes sense to make the most recent film very vibrant and dramatic (including attire used in the ‘20s for the upper class) as opposed to the dull and monotonous tone that was used throughout the 1974 film. The ‘74 one could be considered realistic, it isn’t terrible, but it feels very uncreative and boring
I Do love the mystery of 1974 version but the enchanted visuals that borderlines a fairytale like atmosphere for the 2013 made it my favorite of the two.
Reading these comments make me so happy. I thought I was the only one who preferred the 2013 version, it is so incredible. The fast-pace, the vibrancy, the chaos of it is exactly how I imagined it to be like in the book. It's supposed to have a sort of discomfort to it, because a huge theme in the book is that this type of riotous carelessness is dangerous yet attractive with its glitz and glamour. It's rampant among people from the West, and finds its way to erupt in the East. Carelessness and chaos is what leads to this story becoming a tragedy, and Nick realizes this only AFTER he was swept away with it. I would ALWAYS prefer a new, unique, personable adaptation to an old story than making a carbon copy of another person's ideas. Luhrman did a brilliant job.
I’ve only ever seen the 2013 one, the older one looks good too but I love the color and contrast in the newest one compared to all the others. I’m a visual person and 2013 looks almost exactly how I pictured it when I read it the first time. The filmmakers definitely knew what they were doing, and to them props to that 💕. Gatsby‘s death does not have the same dramatics as I think it does with 2013 compared to 1774. It was distressingly beautiful while the older one was depressingly quick like it would be realistically. From an artistic standpoint, the newest one is my favorite.
Everyone saying the difference is colour, lightning etc.. doesn’t realise movies are shot with the same film.. the processing was different. The original remastered would look the same.. why judge the colours. Urrghhh
They obviously are not shot with the same film. 2013 is shot digitally and 1974 on a stock discontinued in late 70s (Eastman 5254). However, the 2013 is oversaturated like many/all Luhrmann's films while 1974 is desaturated like many 70s New Hollywood movies where intentionally degrading the image in various ways was popular to distance themselves from the colorful and saturated Old Hollywood look. The stock itself is quite possibly the most beautiful Kodak has ever made (at least colourwise, it obviously was grainier and not as sharp as modern ones).
Thank you the 70s version was so bland acting was horrible and I felt no emotion now 2013 version was happy excited and sad if a movie doesn’t make you feel anything then what’s the point
the reason 1974 was much better, because it was real. I was 16/17 when I first seen the film and felt touchy*. 2013 did well, but they made it too Hollywood. Thank you for this amazing comparison! wow! 🦉
The 2013 version is visually stunning as all Baz's movies are. I thought the entire cast was great. I love Redford as Gatsby, but I am not a fan of Mia Farrow's Daisy. The 74 movie actually is hard for me to watch because of her performance.
It's gotta be the 2013 for. When you do a film that is supposed a time frame. It should LOOK THAT WAY. 1974 version minus a few ladies hats, and cars you wouldn't know it was supposed to be the "ROARING 20🎺
But adding to my last comment I am very happy lana del ray finally got her chance still waiting for the day when she gets her chance to sing for james bond
@@Lifeoftheparty8290 it didn't look like a play lmao 2013 is way too modern looking that's why you guys like it you're not even looking at the acting or the emotion. 1974 the coloring looked like it was from 1920 even the car wasn't that bright of a yellow it was perfect
I would recommend watching the 1974 version if you have read the book and have the patience to watch the whole movie. It captures the emotions in every important scene, especially the ending bit that the newer movie didn't include, probably due to run time. My biggest problem about the 2013 version was that it focused more on the grand set design and costumes, and made the characters a little too dull even if that was the point. I would watch the newer movie if you want a basic recap of the story that isn't as dragged out as the 1974 version.
@@estrellamarrone hella doubts wym the whole experience was boring and unwatchable the 2013 version actually delivered a vivid Gatsby-like performance and presented what readers imagined when reading the book. It wasn’t all perfect, but a huge improvement to 1974
Recently watched the 1974 version and the level of acting, cinematography, & realism it strives for. Then seeing the clips from the 2013 movie, it’s pretty depressing to see how badly all those aspects were cheapened.
And mark my words the music WONT date. When you watch something from 1920, you don’t usually think to yourself “hmm this soundtrack sounds way too modern”. In 100 yrs people will look at 2013 as a masterpiece imo
@@888whale4 nah this generation doesn't know what a good movie looks like and it shows. When you act you have to make the viewers feel the movie. 1974 you can feel the emotions you can see Gatsby's fantasy in his head while also seeing the real world in the 1920's. 2013 was beautiful but the death scene really did it for me 2013 was terrible at the whole death he just stood there when he was shot with no emotion his body didn't even react
While I appreciate and respect the 1974 Gatsby, it just isn’t “big” enough. It’s too stiff and dramatic, as opposed to the looseness and extravagance of the 2013 version. I think the 2013 version is closer to the actual book in terms of the “vibe”, but I’m not gonna blame the ‘74 version just because they had more limitations of the time.
So you're telling me when someone dies they stand there with their eyes wide open and fall into the water with no blood spilling out into the pool. It took him a whole three minutes before he died. 1974 is more realistic he got shot his body twitched and reacted and he fell into the water where his blood began pouring out of his body💀
@@satisfyingnai2080 It isn’t Grand Theft Auto, it’s a dramatic and exaggerated adaptation of the book. That’s just how the cinematographers chose to focus on the death of Gatsby - its dramatic bc its a highlight in the movie. I can’t even begin to imagine your reaction when you find out about soap operas
Фильм 1974 настоящий! 2013 года - версия шедевра, которую попытались приблизить к шедевру. По своему хороша, но более игровая, спецэффекты - фильм максимально современный! Масштабны оба как и само произведение Фицджеральда "Великий Гэтсби"
2013 gatsby is still one of the best movie of the last decade imo, cant say the same for the 74 gatsby since the movie didnt brought any kind of emotion, i mean just compare Gatsby death in both movies
I love both my favorite is the 1974 one Robert Redford is just... he definitely is Gatsby even Mia Farrow makes u hate Daisy more cause is really good ; I like the 2013 too but that is more aesthetic oriented the first one is the one that capture best what the book describes in terms of characters feelings and so on at the end both are good.
Felicito a Matt por el buen trabajo de rastrear las escenas y secuencias y colocarlas en paralelo para que podamos apreciar las diferencias y las similitudes entre ambos filmes. Debo decir que la de 2013 tiene colores más intensos, es más efectista en sus planos y decorados, y tiene actores muy buenos. La de 1973, fue, en su momento, tan impactante visualmente como lo fue la de 2013. Los actores en general, en ambas películas, me parecen igual de buenos. Sólo la Daysi de 1973 (Mía Farrow) no me convence mucho. Aunque no podría juzgar la música en la de 1973, el vestuario es excelente.
Redford is a good actor but he sucked and showed no emotion it’s a love story I expect a roller coaster of emotions Leo played the role better than anyone could of
LIKED SEEING THE TWO VERSIONS TOGETHER BUT HATED THE MUSIC . NELSON RIDDLES SOUNDTRACK FROM THE 1974 FILM IS FAR MORE FITTING FOR ERA , NOT THIS " HIP- HOP" MODERN SOUNDS OF TODAY . MUSIC CAN MAKE OR BREAK A FILM AND THAT NEW VERSION'S SOUNDTRACK BROKE IT FOR ME .
I thoroughly enjoy both movies but as a state they can only be one winner the 1974 version I feel is winning to death of the characters but the 2013 version which is overly top visuals and effects really catching my eye so at the end of the day thousand and 13 takes to win
2013 tries too hard to make every shot the most meaningful, impactful one to the point it becomes hollow. the older film doesn't need to try so hard to convey depth
Yeah 1974 was more emotional you could really feel the pain of the characters 2013 was trying too hard to relate to the book that they forgot we actually like seeing the emotion. The death scene in 2013 was terrible it looked like Gatsby was swimming in the water and there was barely any blood. 1974 was quick like it would be realistically he got shot and his body reacted his body went into the water and the blood was also coloring the water. I definitely liked 1974 better
I watched the 1974 version in advanced before the 2013 version released in cinemas, felt the 1974 version was more accurate for the story, certain depth was given and I like the production design overall but I am much more prefer Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire's casting for Gatsby and Nick Carraway also Joel Edgerton for Tom Buchanan . If there's only one way preserving the depth and casting for one version then this one will probably be what I prefer, anyway both deserve to watch.
I hated this movie bc I was forced to read it and watch the old version in highschool English but now I lowkey love the 2013 one mainly because of the color scheme and editing
That's my point it's not about the coloring and the editing your supposed to feel something and when it comes down to it 1974 was way better this generation doesn't see it
The copy you used to represent the 1974 version is way too low quality and with dull colors, maybe if a 4K ever comes out you could do a more fair comparison
The 2013 movie was made in the same fashion as the 90's Romeo and Juliet; they were both made to give you the feel of a graphic novel, with incredible acting, exaggerated characters, vivid colors, fast pace, exaggerated cinematography, extremely nuanced, dynamic, and charismatic performances. By the way, the Paul Rudd/Mira Sorvino version was utterly gutless and insufferably boring, with not a single engaging performance nor any vibe of the outrageous and excessively ostentatious vibe of the Jazz Age/Roaring Twenties in New York.
I dont understand the argument of it has modern music therefore I dont like it. I guess it's no different from me not liking Mias Daisy but eh... If you can get passed the music choices, 2013 is visually a far superior film. There is a focus, there is depth, not every scene is either beige or stark white. The art direction for 2013 is just better. Notice how the camera in 74 is almost always centered on the misground. When the camera doesnt change let alone move faster than a snail's pace, your movie looks boring.
Ancienne Belgique if an old movie is colorful.. like say wizard of oz.. much much older, it’s because it’s been remastered.. all filmed with actual film.. not a dvd.. lol
You have a point, while it was about 50 years since the 20s at that time. I always took the clothing as a bit of subtlety. I also saw it as a pro con comparison with both movies.
I’m surprised you say this. I thought the 70s version seemed more historically accurate when it comes to the clothing. The 2013 one doesn’t seem as accurate: dresses seem to tight and short, and too much cleavage for the 1920’s.
It's funny how for such a visual story as The Great Gatsby the saying "the sound is everything you see" rings true. 2013 has terrible soundtrack, it's like trying to play heavy metal music over intimate bedroom scene. If they really wanted to make it more modern (or just treat the audience as a bunch of idiots), why didn't they choose some kind of electro swing, Parov Stelar kind of thing; it would fit perfectly. Also the 2013 version completely misses the point of Fitzgerald's novel: American Dream is bullshit and if 1974 version makes you feel depressed, well... it should. That's the point. It also glamorizes Gatsby and his lifestyle and shows Nick in a more innocent and honest light than he really is in the novel. It seems that people who prefer 2013 version never read the book, and (most of) those who like 1974 better, did. Of course it's not the matter of life and death and these are only movies, but even after color grading comparison it's looks as a comparison between traditional filmmaking of 1974 (old money) and big budget modern show-off of 2013 (new money). Anyway, DiCaprio is fantastic as Gatsby, but after watching this video I realized that Redford was actually perfect for the role. No hard feelings. Cheers, old sports.
Interesting how the actors are all attractive in both movies, but in different ways
Magic of the 20s, I guess. Not to mention a description of the American Dream.
mia farrow has that doe-eyed 1920s look a la clara bow!

In the 2013 version they make her seem so fragile and innocent whereas in the old version she seems that way at first glance but if you look closer you can tell she is detached and only interested in money and having fun. I havent read the book because neither of the movie adaptions has inspired me to do so to be honest, but this is how I feel about the movies. Basically the 2013 version is more fun to watch but if you want something you need to concentrate more on and pay more attention to the 1974 version is the one to go with, it is more serious.
good review
if your room isn’t filled with dry oranges what are you doing with your life
What?
The Great Gatsby 1925 set the story in stone. The Great Gatsby 1974 painted the picture. The Great Gatsby 2013 brought it to life.
as an asian person i really have to admit that til the finish i couldnt remember or tell the difference between all the male actors in the version of 1974. they look way too similar. so i prefer the 2013 version where the facial attributes has more recognization in it.
They all look so bland and similar.. I agree with u - a white person
lmao
The outfits in the 2013 version, is so much better than the 74. i feel like they represent the fashion of the 1920's better, and the 74 one feels too... 70's.
I feel like it’s a bit 20s gone crazy in the 2013 version (what people think 20s looked like). Whereas the 1974 version is a bit more modest.
70s version is more realistic
70s wasn't ancient.
1974 represented 1920's better 2013 related to this generation a bit more so it's appealing to the eye but in reality 1974 is the perfect version in my opinion 2013 was kinda dramatic with the death of Gatsby 1974 was more realistic and quick.
@@satisfyingnai2080 realistic? Sure, but the 1974 adaptation was very bland. The 2013 version incorporated what readers imagined when reading the Great Gatsby, so it makes sense to make the most recent film very vibrant and dramatic (including attire used in the ‘20s for the upper class) as opposed to the dull and monotonous tone that was used throughout the 1974 film. The ‘74 one could be considered realistic, it isn’t terrible, but it feels very uncreative and boring
The old one is good to watch by yourself and pay attention, the 2013 version is good to watch at the Theater with friends/lovers
7:28 Happy 50th anniversary of the 1974 The Great Gatsby
I Do love the mystery of 1974 version but the enchanted visuals that borderlines a fairytale like atmosphere for the 2013 made it my favorite of the two.
Loved the video! I think both versions have their qualities.
Reading these comments make me so happy. I thought I was the only one who preferred the 2013 version, it is so incredible. The fast-pace, the vibrancy, the chaos of it is exactly how I imagined it to be like in the book. It's supposed to have a sort of discomfort to it, because a huge theme in the book is that this type of riotous carelessness is dangerous yet attractive with its glitz and glamour. It's rampant among people from the West, and finds its way to erupt in the East. Carelessness and chaos is what leads to this story becoming a tragedy, and Nick realizes this only AFTER he was swept away with it. I would ALWAYS prefer a new, unique, personable adaptation to an old story than making a carbon copy of another person's ideas. Luhrman did a brilliant job.
I’ve only ever seen the 2013 one, the older one looks good too but I love the color and contrast in the newest one compared to all the others. I’m a visual person and 2013 looks almost exactly how I pictured it when I read it the first time. The filmmakers definitely knew what they were doing, and to them props to that 💕.
Gatsby‘s death does not have the same dramatics as I think it does with 2013 compared to 1774. It was distressingly beautiful while the older one was depressingly quick like it would be realistically. From an artistic standpoint, the newest one is my favorite.
Everyone saying the difference is colour, lightning etc.. doesn’t realise movies are shot with the same film.. the processing was different. The original remastered would look the same.. why judge the colours. Urrghhh
They obviously are not shot with the same film. 2013 is shot digitally and 1974 on a stock discontinued in late 70s (Eastman 5254). However, the 2013 is oversaturated like many/all Luhrmann's films while 1974 is desaturated like many 70s New Hollywood movies where intentionally degrading the image in various ways was popular to distance themselves from the colorful and saturated Old Hollywood look. The stock itself is quite possibly the most beautiful Kodak has ever made (at least colourwise, it obviously was grainier and not as sharp as modern ones).
The newer one isn’t perfect but it is much more faithful to the book then any of the other version
Thank you the 70s version was so bland acting was horrible and I felt no emotion now 2013 version was happy excited and sad if a movie doesn’t make you feel anything then what’s the point
In almost two years the 1974 movie will have come out just as long ago as the great gatsby did when they were making the movie- 50 years
the reason 1974 was much better, because it was real. I was 16/17 when I first seen the film and felt touchy*. 2013 did well, but they made it too Hollywood.
Thank you for this amazing comparison! wow! 🦉
Thank you, this helped me get my English assignment done much quicker.
I love the direction and high saturation of the second one but I just can’t adjust with the music.
I wasn't big on the modernised soundtrack or colour saturation of the 2013 version, was ok though as a film
Leonardo DiCaprio is a better Gatsby. 2013 characters is what I imagined in the novel
Leo was fine but the movie sucked
Nah 2013 was ass
I like the song young and beautiful
Lana made 2013 movie so much better
The music in the 1974 version really sets the atmosphere ❤
You mean the lack thereof
The 2013 version is visually stunning as all Baz's movies are. I thought the entire cast was great. I love Redford as Gatsby, but I am not a fan of Mia Farrow's Daisy. The 74 movie actually is hard for me to watch because of her performance.
I agree
It's gotta be the 2013 for. When you do a film that is supposed a time frame. It should LOOK THAT WAY.
1974 version minus a few ladies hats, and cars you wouldn't know it was supposed to be the "ROARING 20🎺
Jordan is far better looking then daisy in the og
The 2013 version is more of a stylistic film, that being said the costumes and small details are more accurate to the 1920's than the 1970's original.
2013 version obviously has better production, color grading, etc.
but 74 has more to do with the book
@@vjjfuokmf doesn’t mean anything it was boring acting was bland and I felt nothing watching it
@Ks-101tell me you have a short attention span without telling me you have a short attention span. Lmao 😂😂😂
7:27 Do a triple comparison with the 1974-2000-2013 versions of The Great Gatsby
But adding to my last comment I am very happy lana del ray finally got her chance still waiting for the day when she gets her chance to sing for james bond
Both version got Oscar best costume design
1974 made me cry....
Excellent work! Thank you for this
Carrey mulligan is beauty
I wish I’d seen this movie in theaters
In the version of 2013 it's more look like 20's that's why i like it!
70s version looked like a play
@@Lifeoftheparty8290 it didn't look like a play lmao 2013 is way too modern looking that's why you guys like it you're not even looking at the acting or the emotion. 1974 the coloring looked like it was from 1920 even the car wasn't that bright of a yellow it was perfect
Definitely not
I would recommend watching the 1974 version if you have read the book and have the patience to watch the whole movie. It captures the emotions in every important scene, especially the ending bit that the newer movie didn't include, probably due to run time. My biggest problem about the 2013 version was that it focused more on the grand set design and costumes, and made the characters a little too dull even if that was the point. I would watch the newer movie if you want a basic recap of the story that isn't as dragged out as the 1974 version.
The parties, costumes and music in the 2013 version were better.
The 1974 Robert Redford one is better.
Exactly. With no doubts
@@estrellamarrone hella doubts wym the whole experience was boring and unwatchable the 2013 version actually delivered a vivid Gatsby-like performance and presented what readers imagined when reading the book. It wasn’t all perfect, but a huge improvement to 1974
The 1974 version is much similar to the book than the 2013. I have experienced the book, and both movies.
Version 1974 is the best. 2013 is the great modern💩💩💩💩
The 2013's version is over the top.
I think that’s the idea, the movie is about a grand multimillionaire hosting lavish parties, not to mention it’s the *Great* Gatsby. It fits the mood
Recently watched the 1974 version and the level of acting, cinematography, & realism it strives for. Then seeing the clips from the 2013 movie, it’s pretty depressing to see how badly all those aspects were cheapened.
Great gatsby isn’t a story about realism. 2013 version feels like a fantasy out of gatsbys own mind. It’s my fav version imo.
And mark my words the music WONT date. When you watch something from 1920, you don’t usually think to yourself “hmm this soundtrack sounds way too modern”. In 100 yrs people will look at 2013 as a masterpiece imo
@@888whale4 nah this generation doesn't know what a good movie looks like and it shows. When you act you have to make the viewers feel the movie. 1974 you can feel the emotions you can see Gatsby's fantasy in his head while also seeing the real world in the 1920's. 2013 was beautiful but the death scene really did it for me 2013 was terrible at the whole death he just stood there when he was shot with no emotion his body didn't even react
@@satisfyingnai2080 “This generation” sorry but if you say that kind of things your opinion is invalid
Both films have won 2 Oscars.
Daisy looking fire in both versions😍
Karen black is amazing♥️♥️🙌🏼
1974 👌🏻
The 1976 version is a really beautiful, well-made film but the 2013 version is closer to what I saw in my imagination when I read the book.
While I appreciate and respect the 1974 Gatsby, it just isn’t “big” enough. It’s too stiff and dramatic, as opposed to the looseness and extravagance of the 2013 version.
I think the 2013 version is closer to the actual book in terms of the “vibe”, but I’m not gonna blame the ‘74 version just because they had more limitations of the time.
Having read the book once and never seen either one, I can say I'm more inclined to try the Redford one first
I watch both, but I like 2013 ver, the character development are much stronger...and you may watch the delete scenes too...
I love the 2013 so much better in nearly every scene ❤️
So you're telling me when someone dies they stand there with their eyes wide open and fall into the water with no blood spilling out into the pool. It took him a whole three minutes before he died. 1974 is more realistic he got shot his body twitched and reacted and he fell into the water where his blood began pouring out of his body💀
@@satisfyingnai2080 It isn’t Grand Theft Auto, it’s a dramatic and exaggerated adaptation of the book. That’s just how the cinematographers chose to focus on the death of Gatsby - its dramatic bc its a highlight in the movie. I can’t even begin to imagine your reaction when you find out about soap operas
@@satisfyingnai2080 plus the 1974 movie was boring and bland in so many ways, a realistic death doesn’t make it better
I’m my opinion I think the 2013 version is like the visual representation of the book
It’s more like the comic book version of the novel.
Фильм 1974 настоящий! 2013 года - версия шедевра, которую попытались приблизить к шедевру. По своему хороша, но более игровая, спецэффекты - фильм максимально современный! Масштабны оба как и само произведение Фицджеральда "Великий Гэтсби"
Nice job!!
That was amazing
2013 gatsby is still one of the best movie of the last decade imo, cant say the same for the 74 gatsby since the movie didnt brought any kind of emotion, i mean just compare Gatsby death in both movies
I love both my favorite is the 1974 one Robert Redford is just... he definitely is Gatsby even Mia Farrow makes u hate Daisy more cause is really good ; I like the 2013 too but that is more aesthetic oriented the first one is the one that capture best what the book describes in terms of characters feelings and so on at the end both are good.
Felicito a Matt por el buen trabajo de rastrear las escenas y secuencias y colocarlas en paralelo para que podamos apreciar las diferencias y las similitudes entre ambos filmes. Debo decir que la de 2013 tiene colores más intensos, es más efectista en sus planos y decorados, y tiene actores muy buenos. La de 1973, fue, en su momento, tan impactante visualmente como lo fue la de 2013. Los actores en general, en ambas películas, me parecen igual de buenos. Sólo la Daysi de 1973 (Mía Farrow) no me convence mucho. Aunque no podría juzgar la música en la de 1973, el vestuario es excelente.
leo is very talented butREDFORD isREDFORD and far better in every way
Huh? Uh...ok
Redford is a good actor but he sucked and showed no emotion it’s a love story I expect a roller coaster of emotions Leo played the role better than anyone could of
LIKED SEEING THE TWO VERSIONS TOGETHER BUT HATED THE MUSIC . NELSON RIDDLES SOUNDTRACK FROM THE 1974 FILM IS FAR MORE FITTING FOR ERA , NOT THIS " HIP- HOP" MODERN SOUNDS OF TODAY . MUSIC CAN MAKE OR BREAK A FILM AND THAT NEW VERSION'S SOUNDTRACK BROKE IT FOR ME .
I thoroughly enjoy both movies but as a state they can only be one winner the 1974 version I feel is winning to death of the characters but the 2013 version which is overly top visuals and effects really catching my eye so at the end of the day thousand and 13 takes to win
Its is verry inportant US Culture.
The Great Gatsby book published 1925 Fridgerald.
The Great Gatsby 1926,1949,1974,and2013 US mouve.
With the 2013 movie, I felt like I was watching the comic book version of the story, rather than a serious take on the novel.
74
Good ~! personely prefer to M 1974
2013 tries too hard to make every shot the most meaningful, impactful one to the point it becomes hollow. the older film doesn't need to try so hard to convey depth
Yeah 1974 was more emotional you could really feel the pain of the characters 2013 was trying too hard to relate to the book that they forgot we actually like seeing the emotion. The death scene in 2013 was terrible it looked like Gatsby was swimming in the water and there was barely any blood. 1974 was quick like it would be realistically he got shot and his body reacted his body went into the water and the blood was also coloring the water. I definitely liked 1974 better
I watched the 1974 version in advanced before the 2013 version released in cinemas, felt the 1974 version was more accurate for the story, certain depth was given and I like the production design overall but I am much more prefer Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire's casting for Gatsby and Nick Carraway also Joel Edgerton for Tom Buchanan . If there's only one way preserving the depth and casting for one version then this one will probably be what I prefer, anyway both deserve to watch.
I hated this movie bc I was forced to read it and watch the old version in highschool English but now I lowkey love the 2013 one mainly because of the color scheme and editing
That's my point it's not about the coloring and the editing your supposed to feel something and when it comes down to it 1974 was way better this generation doesn't see it
What about the 2000's version
Una gran película 😎👌
1974 was better
Do one of Both of the first and 3rd movies of Night at the Museum
the 2013 is too much cgi and glossy. the old is much better you really can feel it
The camera movements in 2013 take me out od the moment
Ok
Robert Redford of course!
Music in 2013 destroyed whole feelings about reality...and woman s was more like in the 1974.movie back in the days...also xxx
I think the 70s version is way better
no
@@simbionte656 You prefer the 2000 version with Paul Rudd, right?
Have you done Stepford Wives yet?
I haven't. I don't think they are similar enough to do.
Right, the latter of the two was a dark comedy. Anyway, thought I'd ask.
The copy you used to represent the 1974 version is way too low quality and with dull colors, maybe if a 4K ever comes out you could do a more fair comparison
The 2013 movie was made in the same fashion as the 90's Romeo and Juliet; they were both made to give you the feel of a graphic novel, with incredible acting, exaggerated characters, vivid colors, fast pace, exaggerated cinematography, extremely nuanced, dynamic, and charismatic performances.
By the way, the Paul Rudd/Mira Sorvino version was utterly gutless and insufferably boring, with not a single engaging performance nor any vibe of the outrageous and excessively ostentatious vibe of the Jazz Age/Roaring Twenties in New York.
I dont understand the argument of it has modern music therefore I dont like it. I guess it's no different from me not liking Mias Daisy but eh... If you can get passed the music choices, 2013 is visually a far superior film. There is a focus, there is depth, not every scene is either beige or stark white.
The art direction for 2013 is just better.
Notice how the camera in 74 is almost always centered on the misground. When the camera doesnt change let alone move faster than a snail's pace, your movie looks boring.
My English teacher brought me here
The 1974 movie was the best.
1974 it's much better
no
I never liked how the 1970's one had that dull, film grainy, cynicism that is typical of 70's movies.
Yea, its called film.
@@Sam-vs5kg Who are you talking to?
I like that look
@@Sam-vs5kg 60's movies were pretty and colorful though.
Ancienne Belgique if an old movie is colorful.. like say wizard of oz.. much much older, it’s because it’s been remastered.. all filmed with actual film.. not a dvd.. lol
Que filme lindo!
1974
2013 costumes look way more authentic. Didn't they knew how people dressed in the 20s back in 1976?
You have a point, while it was about 50 years since the 20s at that time. I always took the clothing as a bit of subtlety. I also saw it as a pro con comparison with both movies.
I’m surprised you say this. I thought the 70s version seemed more historically accurate when it comes to the clothing. The 2013 one doesn’t seem as accurate: dresses seem to tight and short, and too much cleavage for the 1920’s.
The 2013 version is better
I feel like 2013 has so many fake camera moves
Same
1974!!
It's funny how for such a visual story as The Great Gatsby the saying "the sound is everything you see" rings true. 2013 has terrible soundtrack, it's like trying to play heavy metal music over intimate bedroom scene. If they really wanted to make it more modern (or just treat the audience as a bunch of idiots), why didn't they choose some kind of electro swing, Parov Stelar kind of thing; it would fit perfectly.
Also the 2013 version completely misses the point of Fitzgerald's novel: American Dream is bullshit and if 1974 version makes you feel depressed, well... it should. That's the point. It also glamorizes Gatsby and his lifestyle and shows Nick in a more innocent and honest light than he really is in the novel.
It seems that people who prefer 2013 version never read the book, and (most of) those who like 1974 better, did. Of course it's not the matter of life and death and these are only movies, but even after color grading comparison it's looks as a comparison between traditional filmmaking of 1974 (old money) and big budget modern show-off of 2013 (new money).
Anyway, DiCaprio is fantastic as Gatsby, but after watching this video I realized that Redford was actually perfect for the role. No hard feelings. Cheers, old sports.
