Compare and Contrast Movie and Book of Fahrenheit 451

All in all there were many things different about the book compared to the movie.

Thomas Paine once said, “Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness.” In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Montag, the protagonist, works as a fireman. Throughout the novel, he begins to discover his true self. In this utopian society, people are conceited and have little or no emotions. Similarly, many in our society are self-centered and have limited feelings. Even though both societies have numerous characteristics in common, the two societies have multiple differences.

Another reason that certain things were not shown in the film that came from the novel is because they are sensitive for certain viewers to watch. Even with all the warnings little kids will still watch something like that because there is nothing stopping them. Movies nowadays have very sensitive content that is not meant for kids under a certain age to watch. In the novel there are parts where they might not be appealing to the eye to read and with a movie, people will not ‘want to watch it even if it has a good background.

Besides sound effects and visuals in a movie, descriptive language in a book, both are usually very similar. Specifically, between the book and the movie Fahrenheit 451, the two share many of the main ideas, but have multiple differences. A couple of the top major differences in the movie are that Clarisse doesn’t die and they omit to tell or mention that there is a war going on. Some similarities are the characters personalities and looks. All of these things have impact on how the movie and book contrast and compare to each other.

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel written by Ray Bradbury that depicts a futuristic American society where books are banned and independent thought is persecuted. Bradbury uses his imagination to take a hard look at a world consumed by technology, and he presents predictions about pleasure, violence and anti-intellectualism that are alarmingly similar to the modern American society. Notably, in both societies people find pleasure in entertainment that is endlessly preoccupying. Second, people are violent and careless. Finally, anti-intellectualism and suppression of independent thought affect both societies, as firemen ban books in Fahrenheit 451 and, in the

In a dystopian society, everything may seem fine and normal, but underneath all that is an unstable society that may crumble with the right spark. Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury are two characters who have to face the dystopian world and the nature of humankind. Although, a quest is actually depicted in both, as the characters undertake similar journeys of self-knowledge. In Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the dystopian traits where the boys are deserted on a sterile island show that they are slowly turning into savages and plotting against one another due to the destructive society that they are in. Meanwhile,

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury highlights untainted diction and dreamy similes to reveal that books can be a person’s way of freedom.

“Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings” is a famous quote said by Heinrich Heine, which relates to the concept of book burning, seen in the novel Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury uses his unique literary style to write the novel Fahrenheit 451; where he brings his readers to a future American Society which consists of censorship, book burning, and completely oblivious families. The novel’s protagonist, Guy Montag, is one of the many firemen who takes pride in starting fires rather than putting them out, until he encounters a seventeen-year-old girl named Clarisse McClellan. As the novel progresses, the reader is able to notice what Clarisse’s values are in the novel, how her innocence and

The director stayed true to the book as much as possible because people that have read the book would be disappointed and gives it bad reputation and its an well known story.

The act of burning bound pages filled with literature has been occurring for centuries. Governments choose to eradicate writing with fire if the message contradicts their own. Austin Cline, the author of “Heinrich Heine on Burning Books Connecting the Holocaust to Book Burning”, explains this strategy of annihilation in his article. This piece of writing allows youth to understand the power of words, can be reflected in Fahrenheit 451, and justifies that burning books is a sinister act. To begin, “Heinrich Heine on Burning Books Connecting the Holocaust to Book Burning” had a strong and powerful message directed at today’s youth.

In the film I think the director did a poor job of really touching base with the characters. They actors and actresses that played the parts did not always fit with what the book lead us to. For example, Tim I thought he would be a frat boy and be nerdy, but in the film they had him portrayed as a surfer dude. Also the book gives a better understanding of future actions. Like in the book Nicolas Sparks stated “Hey in talking to you.”

Unlike the book, the movie is very visual with lots of sounds and exciting twists. Since I have read the novella I didn’t really care that much for the movie because I knew what was going to happen at the end. The one thing I was hoping for was that there was a new scene or new storyline. There wasn’t really a new

Like all other book based movies, it is missing some details about the story that you can only get from reading the novel, but all these cuts are most likely just do to budget and time limitations during the movie production. As a reader, I don't think there was anything missing that could affect the viewers perspective of the
