Burn baby burn!
Review of Fahrenheit 451 (DVD) by theblackstar

Advantages: May make people want to read the book
Disadvantages: Another failed attempt to make a classic book into a film

...lives. Here firemen burn books, Fahrenheit 451 being the temperature at which book paper burns. Taking the Bradbury book, Truffaut was obviously commenting on French life through the use of an English book, written about a future fascist state, and in so making a quintessentially French film, but in English! Confused?! Well quite! So it seems is this film. I understand that film was difficult to make, and almost never got made, and you can tell. The ... Read review

Review of Fahrenheit 451 (DVD) by shaoli2

Advantages: A unique and great movie

Review of Fahrenheit 451 (DVD) by gray001

Advantages: Imaginative, strange and original in parts
Disadvantages: Confusing and annoying at times

A very bizare and interesting film which throws out some thought provoking idea's. An adaptation of a Ray Bradbury novel of the same name which is not as clear or concise as the book but is a pretty good adaptation. The film stars Oskar Werner and Julie Christie, who give excellent performances, if sometimes Werner is a little wooden. Anyone who is interested in futuristic or Big Brother style films should watch this, its not as good as Brazil or ... Read review
