The unsteady society has huge impact on the younger generation, which gives them opportunity to think their life and the time. Fitzgerald is one of them. He named that era the Jazz Age, and himslef is called the representative of that age. He uses his pen to recreate the luxury and prosperous and noisy world, and digs out the hidden desolation at that time. it is no doubt that the Great Gatsby is one the successful works which reflects the features of the 1920s.
From 1926 to 2017, The Great Gatsby has been adapted to film for five times. With the development of the film industry, the adapted movie has made huge progress in shooting technique, which gives the director more space to show his skill in filming.

The result of the comparison would help to explore how does the director better reproduce the Jazz Age.
