que no hAbrA UNa PoR AhI subtitulaDA,,,

[TashkentFox]

There are a bloody lot of Penguin paperbacks there, even though theglue they used falls apart after about 10 years, I had to use large amounts of masking tape to stop my copy of War of the Worlds falling to bits.

[czarnykocoor]

In 7'41 Montag pours the gasoline on a copy of 'Les cahiers du cinema'- the very same magazine in which Truffaud was publishing his influential critical articles ;))))

[fabio15867]

muchas gracias, very special to me!

[minutegongcoughs]

Ray (Douglas) Bradbury's first novel "Dark Carnival" 1947.

[thesinfulpriest]

The music in this movie is kina disturbing, Idk if its because its the 60's style or it was ment to be disturbing. I still love the book though. :D

[wilypp]

Did you know that one of the books burned in the movie is Fahrenheit 451 itself?

[wilypp]

You know, I have already read the novel, and I loved it. Too bad they didn´t feature the mechanical hound in the movie, also the novel, Clarisse dies. But, this movie rocks!!! and so will rock the 2009 movie

[svrosens]

LOL "well, she is worth looking at anyways"

.....are you kidding me?!

[ray1bradbury]

haha, that's not nice! ;D

[FPSzanta]

im only using this for an essay hahahaha, thanks for the help cause im way too lazy to actually read the book.

[zuebee]

Too bad because you are missing an awesome book! This scene is fairly true to the way it is written in the novel.

[Ragaapoo]

thanks!

[Germanator93]

The book is about guys like you.

[Kubelwagen]

wow, Montag has a ww2 German bread bag on his belt.

[zuebee]

Right you are, cousin!

[samuelmichaud]

they could make it a good movie now a days...if u have the right actors and directors...special effects can make it possible to portray

[ducttape7]

this is proof that the bokks r better than the movies

[10notecards]

thank you so much for posting this! i've been looking for a good clip for ages.

[TheBobcatChannel]

thanx 4 posting this! i had to do a report on that book back in high school along with including my own artwork. surprised to say that i got an "A" on the assignment. LOL!

[anglia24]

Remake due in 2009

[nintengo]

i thought the fire men kill instead of her committing suicide

[hellofaname]

she committed suicide in the novel too

[PumpkynHead]

this scene remembered me a film about nazis burning books in the street..

[topdog9d9]

i could use sub titles so i can understand what they are saying

[donnie1968]

This is the world we will live in if liberals are successful in creating a "politically Correct" world. Books that offend anyone will have to be destroyed.

[tjtech12]

Ray Bradbury is a Liberal. The book is an attack on ignorance and conformity, Not equality. A free and well-educated society (the opposite of the one portrayed) breeds equality.

"It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation and minority pressure carried the trick"

[helterskelter180]

she looks like a pig

[makreis]

lol, the firemen look like Officers of the Empire from Star Wars xD

[61111]

werent the houses fire proof in 451

[zuebee]

Only the newer houses were fireproof.

[ProjectAKAA]

i thought they burn the old ladies house

[zuebee]

They do indeed, my friend. It's the books they are burning and since the house has been declared condemned, the books will be burned inside the house instead of the usual manner of taking them outside to be torched.

[thebertness]

hey that last book that he grabbed was mein kampf O:

[zuebee]

According to the book "Bradbury: An Illustrated Life," neither Bradbury nor Truffaut chose the books that appear in the movie. The DVD commentary suggests that many or all of the books used came from Truffaut's personal library. One of the books, though barely visible, is Fahrenheit 451 itself.

[thebertness]

ah, i was just suprised cuz i didnt see that the first time i saw the movie i had just recognized the title is all

[thesinfulpriest]

yep yep yep

[HizbElKhabatha]

Yes its Mein Kampf, it kind of left me thinking. Should he be burning or should he not? Burn some or none?

[malhashoudega]

It shouldn't. Because it's important to know why Mein Kampf isnt right, and so you have to read it.

[TashkentFox]

I've read Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto and hate them both equally. It's important that the works of all political writers (even evil ones like Hitler or the various Marxist thinkers) should be preserved for all time so mankind can learn from his mistakes.

[tinkabella211]

"I want to die as i have lived" i love every thibg about this movie and play and book every thing about it freaks me out totaly cause you can see that it could happen in our world todat

[tinkabella211]

"I want to die as i have lived" i love that part this scean is sooo amazing!!! love the movies the play the book amazing

[tinkabella211]

omg this part is amazing

[blanchelle]

My favorite scene in my favorite movie. "All this philosophy..." says the captain. Books just make people unhappy. We should all just be the same. Skewed logic, but there is some "logic" behind the statement. Really gut wrenching, seeing book titles going up in flames.

[baddog7676]

I love the music that's played when the fireman go to burn books.

A lot of people dislike this film, but I really like for some reason or another.

[zuebee]

Bernard Herrmann wrote so many awesome film scores, including Psycho, North by Northwest, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Citizen Kane, just to name a few. Here, he created a driving, neurotic mood that perfectly suited this film.

[xfakefrowns]

ahhh.. that whole library. jeez. awful.

i love this book.

[vidmonger]

I hope it never ever comes to this.

Now that books have gone digital.

[zuebee]

I will be happy as long as people keep reading books of some kind, though I prefer a book I can hold in my hand myself.

[DavidEmage]

It makes me so sad to see the books burn. They really burned books... When I first saw this, I felt horrible.

I love the book and i felt the movie only captured the essense but could have been better.

[tybrands]

I love the scene were the guy just randomly knocks out the window at 2:00.

[DavidEmage]

I know! lol, at first I thought he was frustrated but then I rewatch it and it was pointless (except for humor!)

[astroboy1960]

Great music by Bernard Herrmann!

[jjj1965]

one of my favorite books and movies. thanks for posting it. Great scene to post.

[Kayleigh27]

I got to see this film my sophmore year (about 3 years ago) in high school in my english class, the book was absolutly amazing and one of my all time favorites.

[peace0ff]

they should have just burned her and left the books alone, yes yes?

righty right?

[starrbeatlesqueen]

what a horrid idea!

[kimo56]

How ironic that we're closer to this than when the movie was release. In today's order, she would be known as an "enemy combatant".

[zuebee]

Sad times indeed, my friend!
