Both La La Land and The Great Gatsby are unique works of art with their own distinctive qualities. Damien Chazelle the director of La La Land immersed audiences in the vibrant, contemporary LA. In particular, the world of a struggling jazz musician and an aspiring actress, also focuses on the pursuit of aspirations and dreams. Looks at themes of love, ambition, and the sacrifices you must make to follow your dreams.

In contrast, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel The Great Gatsby is set mostly in Long Island, New York, in the Roaring Twenties. This literary classic explores the lifestyles of the mysterious Jay Gatsby, providing themes about the American Dream, the appearance of wealth, and the meaninglessness of consumerism. But also the pursuit of love and that’s the biggest similarity between the two. How far is too far for love?
