In this novel adapted by Chu Fu, in a certain era in the future, firefighters will no longer put out fires, but will find books and put them on fire, because books are troublesome to people. People who don’t read just watch TV and see pictures, and they don’t remember many things. Firefighter Mantog met Clarisse after an action, a girl who resembled his wife (the same person starring), and was asked if you had read the books you burned? Mantog, an absolute good citizen, certainly would not do forbidden things, but when he met Clarisse, he had already been set ablaze.
I found that it was the right thing not to use Chu Fu as an idol. In my opinion, the power of this film belonged to Brabury. Fahrenheit 451, it reminds me of Orwell’s 1984, in both worlds, freedom does not belong to the masses.
But the existence of Book People at the end of the movie allows us to see that freedom will eventually burn and all control will be burnt.
