Clarisse McClellan: Why do I always make you nervous?
Guy Montag: You don't.
Clarisse McClellan: When I see you burning up Eel's lives, you don't look nervous.
Guy Montag: That's because I'm very good at my job.
Clarisse McClellan: Hmm. Have you ever thought, even for one second, why you do what you do? You should try reading before burning.

Captain Beatty: Do you want to know what's inside all these books? Insanity. The Eels want to measure their place in the universe, so they turn to these novels about non-existent people. Or worse, philosophers. Look, here's Spinoza. One expert screaming down another expert's throat. "We have free will. No, all of our actions are predetermined." Each one says the opposite, and a man comes away lost, feeling more bestial and lonely than before. Now, if you don't want a person unhappy, you don't give them two sides of a question to worry about.
Guy Montag: Just give 'em one.
Captain Beatty: Better yet, none.

Character Evaluation
Ramin Bahrani is extremely good at shooting low-budget films
. In the film "At Any Price", director Rami Bahani tried to express the generation gap between father and son and the generation gap between eras, symbolizing agriculture with the cornfield that his father loves, and industry with the racing car that his son is obsessed with. However, with the violence and the huge transformation of the son's character after the violence, the initial nostalgia for the humanistic style of the primitive society was diluted. The more the film goes on, the more chaotic it becomes
. In the movie "99 Homes", the story frame itself is very simple. Director Rami Bahani did not use such a small pattern to dig deeper into the characters and their relationships, but described the process of the protagonist's work in a running account. This repetition is related to The accumulation makes the plot progress slowly, and the reversal power of the protagonist at the end is insufficient .
