The French Great Gatsby
While I have not seen the film version of the Great Gatsby, I have read the story and the themes seem incredibly similar on several levels. Obviously, the idea of an outsider rising into the circle of aristocrats through achievement (either fame or wealth) and falling in love with a married woman. The outsider's naivete when dealing with a social group that had been born into a world of rules and deception ultimately leading to his destruction. Anyone else notice this?
