Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() As is the neighbor who declares, "They aren't like us, are they?" It's never going to be a movie in which you want to see over and over again (like the fluffy Wizard of Oz, again a book that is totally different from the movie, where are the complaining people now?) but it's a movie that should be seen. The scene in the monorail where all the passengers are trying to stimulate themselves through their sense of touch is quite moving. ![]() But upon viewing it last night, I have to say I found myself thoroughly engrossed in it. I'd seen the movie in years past, and it never knocked my socks off. I read the book years and years ago, and frankly, I don't remember much about it. They are two different entities which stand alone on their own merits. Its sold more than 10 million copies, earned critical acclaim, and is considered one of the major novels of the 20th century. Hello people! These are two different mediums here, like comparing Katherine Hepburn to Audrey Hepburn. Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury’s most popular novel. After reading several whinny comments about how the movie is so different from the book I just had to add my two cents. ![]()
