Best Answer

Trimalchio was a person or character (cannot remember if he was fictional or real) in Rome. If you take Latin, Trimalchio's dinner is pretty famous. Anyway, he was a freedman, who had great fantastic parties that were known as being very odd and interesting events. The reference to Gatsby there is obvious although that is really the only correlation between the two. There are also other correlations though, which is both Gatsby and Trimalchio's obsession with time, and the colour green (Trimalchio's green ball, and Gatsby's green light)

There are many similarities in the novel, for starters the director seems to stick to the era very well and the weather, which plays an important role in the book also plays an important role in the movie. There are many other significant ones as well that you can catch if you pay close attention to the book and the movie.
