HBO Films is a remake of American writer Ray Douglas Bradbury's dystopian novel "Fahrenheit 451", starring Mike Shannon and Mike Jordan B who starred in "Black Panther", who is also the executive producer of this film Film people.
Utopia, Utopia. It is a perfect ideal society conceived in human minds, similar to Western utopian socialism. It is a beautiful paradise where everyone is equal and free from oppression. For example, the beautiful utopian love we often call
Dystopia, Anti-utopia, also known as anti-topia, dystopia, is the irony of utopia. It is a literary subject, a genre in science fiction literature, reflecting the negative ideal society, describing a technology-overrun society, where the spirit is controlled by material, and the human spirit has no real freedom in a highly developed technological society.
Fahrenheit is 451 degrees, which is 232 degrees Celsius, which is exactly the burning temperature of paper, which is also a necessary condition for burning books, and burning books is the most important clue activity in the film.
Appreciation of original excerpts:
She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a night when you waken to see the time and see the clock telling you the hour and the minute and the second, with a white silence and a glowing, all certainty and knowing what it has to tell of the night passing swiftly on toward further darkness but moving also toward a new sun.
Her face is so delicate, like a small clock face that is faintly visible in the dark when she wakes up in the middle of the night, and the clock face that reports the time. It is bright and quiet, knowing that time is flying, and believing that although the darkness is getting deeper and deeper, it is getting closer and closer to the newborn sun.

The technological revolution of the future world,
The text depreciated rapidly.
The background of the story is set in the future era. It is full of surrealism. Technology has become an inseparable part of life. Therefore, the indispensable part of the film is the cyberpunk electronic neon elements such as "Blade Runner". .
The male protagonist Mongerta, played by Mike JB, is a firefighter of the National Fire Department. The team he is in is directly appointed by the government. However, the work of these firefighters has been as we now think of "Escape" starring Gu Tianle Gu Zai The image of the great fire extinguisher in "Born to Heaven" runs counter to and becomes an arsonist.
JB has also been built as a representative of the heroic image of the fire station with a huge number of fans on the Internet. It is admired by thousands of people. His words and deeds have been exposed to the public’s vision. You don’t need to see the end, you know, this is not A good thing.
Their lives are no exception. They are still surrounded by technology. The living system at home is controlled by artificial intelligence, and the walls are all smart screens.
Everyone in the bar wore virtual reality glasses and didn't know what they were doing.
There are also visual screens on the outdoor buildings, where live broadcasts of the Internet and citizens’ comments and likes are displayed, and speech seems to be extremely free here. JB was also put on the screen of public space. His "justice" behaviors brainwashed the public in subtle ways, and silently cultivated a unified "no-word theory" society. I can't help but want to do the fourth season of the American-style "Black Mirror" again.

Book-burning and Confucianism in the United States,
The main task is to burn books.
The film gave new meaning to all the original objects. They called "The Eels" for readers and "Graffiti" for books. In this setting, happiness is the truth, and freedom is the choice. When this seemingly flawless sentence is brought into a new meaning, it becomes extremely pathological.
The flowers of the motherland in this era have all received the brainwashing of "no-word theory" and stay away from eels and graffiti. Those excellent literary works have also been jokingly symbolized into inaccessible things.
In this world, the eels who want to try their best to preserve cultural works are struggling to live. They use advanced technology to transfer all the words in paper books to the Internet. They want to preserve them forever, but once they are discovered, they will be 451 The team was destroyed in the raging fire together with people and books, which can be described as the modern version of "burning books and pitting scholars."
The presentation of the theme of Mieshu must be a reflection of reality, and it will definitely bring a large number of excellent works and texts. Even the leader of the Mieshu team has a strong literary background, and he opens his mouth from time to time, after a lot of destruction. Let us also cherish the rationality of existence and how far-reaching and lasting the charm of literature is.
Behind the total unreasonable negation must be ignorance, and the universalization of the beautiful representation must be vulgarity. Under the endowment of absolute centralization, the seemingly heroic fire-breathing behavior has inspired the firefighters’ lofty ambitions. The Golden House and Yan Ruyu in the book have never met once, which means that they have never read these literary works like current students.
Every firefighter will more or less understand what the "eel" protects, and JB is no exception. Under the influence of the charming lady eel's daily intensive reading, he discovers the world described in the book His face seemed as incomprehensible as the world in which he existed and became more and more "integrated".
In this exquisite film title, not only the literary works and artistic relics of the Western world, but also the ancient civilization of China with a long history, it seems that only by burning these "graffiti" that hinder a happy life can we lead to the real Road to freedom.
Every time the scene of burning a book appears, the flame is not dying like a candle. The raging fire blooms with gorgeous light in the dark world. Every bloom is another affirmation of self-belief, and it is a road to "Great Harmony" "Society" goes one step further.
In the last struggle of the eel, the only remaining books were secretly kept, and the towering treasures of knowledge were densely placed here. This dark and compact hut was immediately treasured, less is more.

Dominated by a consciousness that covers the sky with one hand,
The tower of Babel goes dark.
People in the past were used to creating ideal utopias in books and finding their place in the universe. They would believe in religion and believe in the existence of gods. No matter what, the world is full of diversity and colorfulness.
But the dark black tone that runs through the film from beginning to end is so repressive that people can breathe, as if the "color" world they can see is only blazing golden when the book-burning fireworks rise.
The dominant consciousness of the one-sided side is constantly obliterating the diversity of writings to build a deformed and single Tower of Babel country, but mankind is getting more and more confused. In addition to the decline of science and technology, what can we look up to and what to fill the soul and spiritual world.
The concealment of different voices can only be eliminated through the simplest firepower. The absolute equal will in Datong society must be set sail by eliminating all diversity.
However, all these absurd behaviors are just lies of the government. When you rise to the ideological level and look back at the book burning and confucianism in the Qin Dynasty, the writing prison in the Qing Dynasty, and the dismissal of Hai Rui in modern times, you can well understand the exposure of their nervous behavior. The feeling of powerlessness to control different voices.

An ideal society constructed falsely,
Where to find freedom.
Books, art, and film and television are all like our second life, carrying our future and dreams that we cannot accomplish in real life. With so many good books with us, how can there be time to sigh "This is the worst time"~
How can so many words make them all disappear, and there will definitely be more avant-garde solutions, so there will be intelligent DNA that can store all knowledge-the emergence of
It is often better to bo in chains than to be free. Franz Kafka
It is safer to be confined to a chain than freedom-Franz Kafka
It is better to be happy than free.The Bill of Rights
Happiness is more important than freedom-"Bill of Rights"
What we have seen in the past is the rise of machine consciousness under the control of human technology, but this time it is the turn of artificial intelligence to control the awakening of human consciousness. As Yuval Harari warned in "A Brief History of the Future", when intelligence has consciousness, human beings are just a kind of intelligent control algorithm, and because intelligence has transformed from Homo sapiens to wisdom gods, humans will also return. In the primitive age, being enslaved, oppressed, manipulated, thinking and terrifying.
Under this seemingly unrestrained official rule, what kind of freedom are the non-eels blinded by lies looking for?
At the end, it is still a happy ending. The little bird carrying the DNA of
At this point, the main task-burning the book, failed to complete.
