The background set by a very interesting story is already very attractive

In today's society, social media is rampant. Think about it, how many people would rather watch a book than watch a small video of a few minutes that claims to master the essence of the entire book? How many people face their mobile phones every day and rarely talk to their family members? It is true that a novel is an art, and it exaggerates this social problem, but Bradbury's advanced cognition should be admirable. On the other hand, Bradbury also reflects his era.

All in all, the main thinking of this movie is not focused on dystopia. Its meaning is not single, but the most important thing lies in the vigilance of the so-called entertainment to death. The author's language is very passionate, but for some readers who read this book for entertainment or who do not like complicated narratives, it may be more difficult to understand. Sometimes I feel that the author is not talking well... Moreover, these very brilliant atmosphere and sense of picture do not seem to have much meaning for the author’s promotion of the theme. The focus of his description is on the uniqueness of Montag and the world. On top of a kind of weird gorgeousness.

Fahrenheit 451 quotes

  • 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.
