  • I understand if they were on a low budget and everything, but they ruined a lot of the plot.

  • These people are idiots. I was going to use this in an English presentation, but it's too far off.

  • 1:47 BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS EVER

  • the novel is about censorship of books and the loss of intelligence to technology. the book doesn't even mention romance! and her name isn't LINDA! it's Mildred :D hahah

  • Haha! It's way off from the book....i wonder if they will remake this movie?

  • The story is actually more or less not conparable with the book!

  • Did the director even read the fucking book?!

  • 1:46 LOL

  • Comment removed

  • You know i'm a fan of classic films, and i love the book, but this film was AWFUL in my honest opinion.

  • @DoYouReadSutterCane Too bad... I guess you had to actually live during the period... Big Brother... duck and cover, fear, the Nuclear menace, to understand the feel of the film.... it was not made for today, but yesterday... if you look close you will notice the flat screen TV's showing complete feel good nonsense to the population, as the observe live TV as an enemy of the State is hunted and shot dead live on TV as entertainment.... much like it is now!

  • @MyEyesBled See I always viewed 451 (the book at least), as less of a statement about oppressive government like 1984 was, but rather a statement about the growing frivolity of society. At least in the book, I feel it was made pretty clear that it wasn't that people don't think because of the book burning actions of the government, but rather due to the progression of society, the people don't WANT to think or be confronted by new and troubling ideas, so the government burns the books.

  • @MyEyesBled Also the primary reasons I don't care for the film are

    1. I don't feel the acting is particularly up to snuff

    2. I dislike many of the visual choices the director made (NOTE: this is not me taking a shot at the sepcial effects, but rather me disliking the shots themselves. For example, I feel many of the book burning scenes would be better suited to night rather than day. Also the way the film was shot seemed very bland and flat to me.

    3. The needless changes made to the novel

  • LOLOL. LOOOOL. That is all. LMAO.

    Did the writers even read the book?! ROMANCE, REALLY?

  • @Amourescent about as much a love story as equilibrium was

  • smh. that is all

  • Farenheit 451; the film of tomorrow - the first postmodern sci-fi story sprung out of nationalsocialist antagonism

  • Can you understand me when I say that my heart is torn apart ? I may seem inhuman but my blood gushes for the suffering and those facing elimination by way of human exploitation. The human is misguided and violated. Nature is on the very brink of extinction. This is the end if we, the human race, do not change, if we do not change the way we live. What do we eat ? What do you eat ? How do the creatures live which we eat ? Aren't you a human ?

  • This movie represents human tragedy - the birth of a tragedy - the human race.

  • @melfidmelanie arent you a human?

  • The best movie on our epoch.

    

  • Patrick McGoohan should have been in this......

  • new Cast:

    Montag: Johnny Depp

    Farber: Morgan Freeman

    Clarice: Ellen Page

    Linda: Marion Cotillard eh?

  • @Animaginate I agree with all exept jonny deep as montag I don't think that would fit

    ellen page as clarice would be wonderful very good choice!^^

  • @Nordish222 maybe bradd pitt then..im really not trying to pick extremely mainstream actors just the ones that i think would play the part good

  • gay book tbh

  • illuminati

  • Haha im doing this 451 book for my text for my O levels GCE literature is farenheit

  • THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!!

  • @cheesegrater23 YOU SUCK

  • @car182 Well it's people like you who will get books to start burning...

  • @cheesegrater23 mmmmmm you are so stupid dud

  • @car182 I have separated from my family and have walked away from my inheritance because I am a Christian. I no longer associate with animal torturers and finger cutters. I am a free soul.

  • I cant believe I watched this movie when I was a little kid and I always remembered it because of the book burning scenes and the fire car and it was really weird and now I found it on youtube. I was way to young to understand it thats why I never forgot it.

  • Are you shitting me? I read the book years ago and even I know it isn't a love story. Guy is like and old dude in his 30s or 40s and Clarrise is like 17. And his wife is MILDRED not Linda.

  • @Ccbooya18 I agree with you this movie sucks!!!! I was half asleep and my friends thought it would be funny to put it on. The only reason I didn't throw it against the wall and smash the disc was because Oskar Werner is a great actor. But this movie sucks and should have never been made!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @cheesegrater23 YOU SUCK

  • @Ccbooya18 They used Linda instead of Mildred because at the time, it was a very popular name. Guy is 30 in the movie and Clarrise lies about her age to get to teach at a school, she is still 17. The Mechanical Hound and Faber aren't even in the movie though. It skips through a lot of plot sections that were important too. Leave it to Hollywood to screw up a great book.

  • @Ccbooya18 "old dude in his 30s or 40s..."? What are you, 12 years old? Oh, sure, let's get rid of anybody over 26......Jeeeeesh

  • @Ccbooya18 1.Yes movies differ from books

    2.Yes they usualy suck in comparision

    3. Clarrise is an adult in the movie

    4. She's still Mildred in the movie, the "Family" calls her Linda so she prefers it

  • @Ccbooya18 Dont confuse the moviemakers with the promoters. Trailers seldom have much in common with the actual movie. 

  • Did this people even read the book??? LOL....Fahrenheit 4 5 1!

  • This movie depict political correctness before it became the in thing today. It depicts a psychological censorship which we are now are experiencing in ever increasing gradual steps. It fortold of selfish love before same sex wedding was even a word in our political vocabulary. And the way ppl came out to watch for Montage, is very much like our government asking you to spy and snitch for them. The Book was ahead of its time. Would David Tennant be willing to play Montage in the remake?

  • I'm sorry people didn't enjoy this film. Ray Bradbury himself appreciated the style and tone of the movie. François Truffaut's first English speaking film and I've always loved it and the book. In 1966 it was groundbreaking so perhaps it needs to be looked at in that context. Personally I feel it's timeless with Oskar Werner's unusual acting technique... he sort of blurts out lines similar to Christopher Walken's style. The score by Bernard Herrmann is also really beautiful. Books are better.

  • @55kudu Here's the deal honey, the book Fahrenheit 451 was against television, so in the first place it doesn't make sense that it was turned into a movie. Also there was really no romance in the book (even though Guy and Mildred were married they didn't have a "husban and wife" relationship. Guy wants that but Mildred is too busy with her 'family'.) It's horrible and tragic that Clarisse and Guy fall in love. That messes up the whole story! There are parts in the book where Clarisse could

  • @55kudu (Cheesegrater23 'sContinued Comment) come off as being flirty with Guy but I honestly think when Ray Bradbury wrote this book, I don't believe that's what he wanted the reading audience to interpret. If he wanted her to flirt with him, ok but I don't think so! It's also stupid that the same actress plays Mildred and Clarisse and her name isn't even MILDRED, it's Linda and that is messed up! Oskar Werner is a great actor and I probably would have had a crush on him if he wasn't dead

  • @55kudu (Cheesegrater23 'sContinued Comment) but he is not what Guy Montag looked like to me. In some scene in the movie he's dressed up like Carlisle Cullen from Twilight! That says "vampire doctor" to me not "fireman". I don't know if you believe in having book crushes but one of my major ones is from this book and this movie just completely ruins it! I do understand the technology at this time wasn't very advanced and how the actors techniques were different than today. It makes me

  • @55kudu( Cheesegrater23 'sContinued Comment) want to cry because this incredible masterpiece of literature was made into a dumb stupid movie. But I love this book so much and I will never let firemen burn my books or they will burn me too! Anyway that's my comment:).

  • @cheesegrater23 helping his grandson to memorize his book, then he dies and the boy is reciting the book. Herrmann's score during these scenes is some of his most beautiful music. When they discover the treasure trove of books and the Captain is making all his comments to Montag, it's so hiarious and scary at the same time. Did you catch when he says "We must burn all the books" while holding Hitler's "Mein Kampf".. All the books heh heh... I thought it was such a statement because

  • @cheesegrater23 Dian Fossey is in the arms of a National Geographic photographer and all flirty and distracted. I don't know if that really happened to the woman who saved the great apes and it ruined the film for me. So I try not to get hung up on these added subplots. Sadly, lots of people don't read books, but most watch movies so I don't feel the important message was lost in translation. The end is so moving when you see the "Book People" reciting their books, and the old man who is dying

  • @cheesegrater23 I'm so glad you answered me back. I've told all my friends about you and your careful observations. You were my first response to a YouTube comment and what a doozy!! I loved it. "Fahrenheit 451" certainly is a masterpiece and worthy of discussion. I've heard that plans are in the works to do a remake and I think we BOTH will be praising the 1966 version LOL. Look at what they did to Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" for Christ's sake. Turned it into a Will Smith action film. Awful.

  • @55kudu Really? There's going to be a remake? Wow, ok I hate to say this but the 1966 version will probably be better. I will say Oskar Werner is an amazing actor and I think he portrays his characters really well. He did amazing in Interlude with Barbara Ferris!  If I would have been alive in the 50s and 60s I would have had a HUGE crush on him and would have tried to meet him;).

  • @cheesegrater23 That's true it was against television so long ago and look at the state of corporate television today. You are right though and I agree. Really books have never been made into decent movies, I can think of very few. But what's cool in the film supports your comment because the credits are spoken and focus on the TV antennas to indicate no written words. It's annoying the way films always add that love interest. In "Gorillas In The Mist" with Sigourney Weaver, suddenly

  • @cheesegrater23 they were so much like a Nazi regime. Your comment at the end reminds me of the old woman who would not leave her books and died in the blaze... oh yeah... all the pages burning and you see one classic after another going up in flames, the ideas they represent disappearing into ashes as well. That was always one of my favorite scenes. So moving and poignant. So to read is always more desirable but a visually striking film is of value as well. Thank you so much for your comments

  • @55kudu There aren't many movies that are better than the books that's for sure.

  • Looks like we'll have the Kindle instead of books.

  • Anyone else relieved that Clarisse doesn't get killed off? =w=

  • This looks disappointing compared to the book

  • @corvettefan96 it's extremely dissapointing i can't even watch this movie it's that bad they ruined this wonderful masterpiece, this should have never been made, what a waste of time and money

  • @cheesegrater23 I agree, after reading the book I've got all these images in my head of what everything looks like, and what it means. The movie would be a huge letdown, since it's different. To Kill a Mockingbird was the same way for me as well

  • @corvettefan96 yep well like almost all the time the book is better than the movie

  • @corvettefan96 trust me it is

  • @corvettefan96 IT A REALLY GOOD ADAPTATION FOR SURE

  • Damals sicher voll geil. Heute einfach nur noch zum Totlachen :D obwohl die Geschichte an sich schon was hat.

  • SHE IS INDEED FANTASTIC. wooah there mr. announcer lets not get carried away...

  • I think they ruined the book by making this dumb movie

  • @taylorandcortney yes they did this movie sucks dik

  • @Inexplicit98

    Definitely one of the best books I've read, either way.

  • @Inexplicit98

    I would agree, but felt that the romantic tension was palpable between Montag and Clarisse, even given her age. (It would certainly not be "new" to have romantic entanglement with that age gap in fiction.)

  • @Inexplicit98

    Clarisse's influence and the near romantic entanglement thereof is what initiated Montag's desire for knowledge.

  • WHAT THE FUCK CLARISSE WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH GUY MONTAG FUCK THIS MOVIE!!!!

  • FOUR FIVE ONE

  • Was that the Disney monorail?

  • FITZGERALD'S 'THE GREAT GATZBY' IS BETTER!!!!!!!

  • Neither in the book or the movie is there any romance. This is a horrible trailer.

  • @pansyzim

    If you didn't catch any romance in the novel you might have problems with reading comprehension.

  • This is as terrible as my literature teacher said it was. We are reading the acutally reading the book in class. Montag is suposed to be like 40 and Clarise was 17. Montag was married to MILDRED, not linda. And clarise dies early on.

  • @MilkyWayGirl101 Guy is supposed to be like 30 but your right it's MILDRED this movie already sucks and i only watched 5 seconds of this trailer

  • I ROFL'ed at that 0:44

  • A lot here doomed to cubicle jobs, deservingly.

  • .... cannot compare with the book...

  • i read this in english class and they completely bombed the movie

  • no everyone will be talking about how crappy this movie is.

    RUINS THE BOOK :(

  • Lol what romance?!

  • Only 2:21? I was sure this was the longest movie trailer I had ever seen. For some unpleasant reason, it felt like the nightmare would never end...

  • @Faunatik AGREEDED

  • This adaptation is so shitty I wanna cry.

  • this has absolutely no relevance to the story...wtf?

    

  • @lisettepalafox I know right, I just finished the book and thought I'd give the movie a try see this trailer, and now I'm having second thoughts. Which I expected I have yet to see a good book to movie adaptaion other thatn Scott Pilgrim, although that is more of a manga to movie.

  • @lisettepalafox you are right

  • "She is indeed fantastic!"

  • my epiic version

    /watch?v=wUmIG56OfCs

  • i read the book my freshman year and watched the movie.. im in love with it no mattr how cheesy it is!

  • What the hell is this? I am completely confused. This looks nothing like the novel. I could have sworn Clarisse died not fell in love with Montag

  • is this the same as the bradbury novel? does seem like an entirely different movie.

  • badddd. badbadbadbadbad. very bad.

  • her name isn't linda, its mildred???? and this has nothing to do with love stories, its about the burning of books, & how our society was going to change to this if we didnt get our act together in the 50's

  • has anyone looked for this videobecuase they're reading it in english class right now? i am!!!

  • @tomhulcelover me!!!!!

  • @HetaliaFreak27 ahhaa

  • Thumbs Up

    If They Should Remake This Movie!!!

  • @Ichi887 they're making one. :)

  • @TheTarah94 Coool!! When?

    Im SO Watching This

    I Love Reading The Book

  • @Ichi887

    Won't work today. The youth today won't bother with books being burned, since they don't read them anyway. Now, if you on the other hand burned their Disney Channel idols, they'd really feel their "freedom and personal integrity" was being threatened.

    Hey, burn video games and fashionable clothes and it will have a similar effect on them. Pardon my cynicism.

  • @McLarenMercedes Dude I agree with you! Books are AMAZING! We'll be fighting books TOGETHER!

  • @McLarenMercedes Not all kids are like that.....very stereotypical.

  • wow, this looks terrible. nothing like the book, which was awesome.

  • The book is more preferred than the movie, in my opinion.

  • What the hell??? Clarrise was 17 and Mildred was like unemotional

  • oh my gosh, the book was supposed to be based on censorship and deteriorating society and everything! mildred wasn't even in love with guy (montag)... she even forgot where they met. ): does anyone demand a remake?

  • @falalaxfearless that happens in the movie too. this video really doesn't do the movie justice.

  • wait...LOVE?! seriously... :\ geez, way to stay true to the book

  • Are are few books and films that have branded my mind and memory in my life. This is one. Very thought provoking it is.

  • there really was nothing to do with love in this book...and i think this movie is going to ruin the whole message that the book is giving people. i'm reading it in english right now and like the book...it gives a good message...and that movie is going to ruin it. >>.<<

  • ...WHAT LOVE STORY?!?!?!?

  • its pronounces "four FIFTY one" you dummy

  • Where can I watch this movie for free?

  • Great message in the movie of how important books and the individual are and how they can overcome any form of system designed to crush them.

  • IN LOVE?!? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?

  • omfg

    

  • WTF?! I know that it was made a while ago now but that doesn't explain the distorsion of the story, and it does not have to do with the effects or actors, but with the guionist or director I guess… what a shame, it's a good book.

  • It is not cheesy music. It is by Bernard Herrmann. Painfully obvious you have little musical history knowledge or understanding of complex music. And probably cannot be blamed for it.

  • this is not the book

  • How many times has that guy said 451?

  • I think its funny that people want to shoot this movie down because of its acting /cinematography/ cheesy music. Think about when this movie was made, then get past your hollywood upbringing and realise that the main purpose of a movie should be to portray a story, not Hollywoods perverted ideas. This movie has a lesson in it that everybody should learn, figure it out for yourself.

  • @ausdiv Thank-you for your remarks. I absolutely love the original book, but movies have to tell a story in a different light, and love interests are often added, rightfully or not, to engage the viewer. The music was far from bad by Bernard Herrmann who scored Psycho, North by Northwest and Vertigo (Directed by Alfred Hitchcock) and the innovative music to The Day The Earth Stood Still in 1951 utilizing a theremin, an eerie instrument. There are many visually striking moments in this film.

  • clarisse is 16 and she isn't in love with montag + mildred is depressed & isn't in love with montag

  • they don't even explain the actual plot at all. i was gonna watch this, but i think i'll just stick to the book, which is one of my all time favorites. julie christy is wicked hot though. i wonder what bradburry though of this

  • @schulzm13 It's hilarious isn't it...you can plainly see the wires holding them up

  • The're making a new one, it will be awesome.

  • I thought the movie and book were awesome, so i bought it myself :)

  • originality my ass they got the whole thing wrong!

  • I love how they try to make this movie sound like a "sensual love story." There was no evidence in the book that Clarisse was in love with Montag and none of that stuff with "Linda" ever happened. At the end of it, Montag ended up not even liking "Linda." There really needs to be an accurate movie adaptation made for this book.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't be fooled by the trailer. The movie is not a love story.

  • im reading the book in class and isnt classis a teenager? but in the book shes like a woman ?

  • Trailer like this one are so awesome =D I love them xD

    But I won't watch it... I just saw it and know what's about xD

  • Clarisse was a teen. and it's Mildred, not Linda. And it wasn't a love story. And sorry but, the music is cheesy.

  • @39ocean yes you are right but the director Truffaut is one of the good French director.so this film wouldn't be bad or stupid.it is worth watching !

  • @39ocean couldnt agree more

  • @39ocean totally agree with you man this is the dumbest movie made however the book was great

  • @TheMuShRoOmMaN999 GREAT BOOK but dumb movie

  • @39ocean totally agreed

    

  • lol this is nothing like the book

  • this movie looks weird. i liked the book but this is just kind of weird.

  • i hate this book the ending sux

  • good book, but this trailer looks truly awful and ridiculous. I'll spare myself from watching the movie.

  • @KlimLevene That'd be pretty much like judging the book by its cover, wouldn't it?

  • @TheBookWorm1718 Not at all, far from it. This is what the film releases to promote itself, to be judged upon. If it's bad/poor/lacking, then it is its own failure at a fair representation. So the book analogy doesn't quite fit, unless I judged it by it's DVD cover, or still frame capture. This is more like flipping through a book, judging its writing style and a few odd scenes, thus a rather fair way of grading (even if not always true).

  • i have to read this book for english 2 honors... and i have a feeling its gonna suckk. i fell asleep with the first 11 pages. UGH. Why can't we read stuff thats actually interesting and newer in school!?

  • @hannahmichellebrown

    Trust me, you need to read this, it's a good book

  • @hannahmichellebrown Any book that 50 years later STILL has people lobbying to ban it because of its contents can't be all that boring.

  • @hannahmichellebrown one day you will realise why this movie is so important

  • Don't you ever dare call Bernard Herrmann music "cheesy." Did you get your schooling for arts inside a gymnasium? Heathen.

  • maybe i'm stupid or something, but i didn't see any love relationship between that teacher and montag in the film.

  • this looks so monumentally shit. .

  • if you read the book clarrisse is never inlove with montag and his wife doesnt even like him..... and did you know that the clarisse's uncle is actually ray bradbary

  • 学生の時見たから、もう20年以上前だと思う。

    もう一度見たい。原作本は同じくらいよかった。

  • this movie is so fucking amazing when your stoned, when your not,its good at all

  • WORST MOVIE EVER! I saw this in my 10th grade lit class, I wanted to go to sleep but the fucking bitch always told me to keep my fucking head up. I even said it makes Child's Play 3 and Jaws The Revenge look good (though I enjoyed Jaws 4)

  • @TheTaylorJohnson1 there is a very important lesson in this book and movie, one day you will realise this

  • If there was one crucial point in the story that was forgotten, it was the damaged relationship between Mildred and Montag, but the fact that they deleted Faber as a character kind of ruined it as well. The setting is very well done, the houses look REALLY nice...

    Yeah, they DEFINITELY made this into a romance, but what can you expect from a French director who creates his compositions with such an abstract nature? (I am French, so I see these things more...) :)

  • We definitely need a new version of this---as far as I'm concerned,Truffaut "europeanized" the story.They don't even set the houses on fire,like in the book!

  • @ctdsnark It's been a while since I read the book, and I DO remember Montag thinking why do they always burn at night? Because it makes a good show for people to see? But didn't he also say in the book that houses were fireproof? Naturally the book lady's wasn't but I don't think hers was the norm.

  • I really liked the book.. but I could not stand the movie. It was nothing like how I imagined the book being and it was just bad, in my opinion...

  • I pictured Clarisse having longer hair.

  • yeah. Plus lots of stuff got messed up. LOTS and LOTS of stuff. Supposed to be Millie for Mildred not Linda for Melinda.

  • Niggers!

  • I always pictured "Mildred" as ugly

  • @HippieGoddess142  She should be, the book describes her hair as being brittle from chemicals, her skin pale and her body as thin as a praying mantis'. But for the movie, they changed that, as they usually do.

  • o crap... wtf?!

  • is all the gun shots really real?

  • Great movie. Beautifull music by Bernard Hermann. Dramatic opening titles with no print- because you aren't allowed to read!
