Watch Fahrenheit 451 For Free

Why so much hype?

Very well executed

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

After watching this movie, I was prompted to read the book.The book is really, really good.

I love Bradbury. While my favorite is Something This Way Comes, I still love this book as well as the ainfluential works by other writers from that time period. I loved this movie - disclaimer - I do love science fiction. This was a reimagining, not a strict interpretation. Considering the fact that it was written as a dystopian futures 60+ years ago, it's natural that it will need updating. This is not a movie about censorship or government survience or mass media. This movie is about sacrifice. About the struggle each individual has to go through in deciding what they will do to make the world a better place, and then following that decision through to the mortal end. I thought the acting was believable and the end? I burst into tears.

The plot absolutely dull from start to finish, nothing to do with the book at all. What a shame...

Interesting concept about books being banned in the future But film a bit disjointed with Michael Shannon as always playing the bad guy the same as he plays the other bad guy roles
