Sound of Thunder - 1 of 3

[ugotpowned23]

I read it in school watched this and now we have read over 20 Ray Bradbury short stories.

[snowcloud8]

i remember reading this story as a freshman in high school; ray bradsburry has a lot of simple sci fi novels

[StLandrew1958]

BBC Radio drama did a brilliant audiobook adaptation, read by actor Sean Barrett. In fact, I don't think it was abridged at all, and Barrett gets the tension right on the money. Way, way better than this video and the film version. Listen to it if you can.

[zvermilyer3]

Allow me to point out a flaw in Travis's logic: when that dinosaur gets shot, it's going to fall down. When that happens, who's to say it won't fall on a mouse? In other words, just staying on the path won't necessarily prevent history from being changed.

[ralexnicholas]

@zvermilyer3 i agree. Who is to say that the dinosaur won't fall on a tree sapling that otherwise would be the descendent of a bunch of trees, one of which contains a bee colony millenia later. A bee from that would-be descendent tree would sting a little girl who is allergic to bee stings. She dies. But if she lived because that sapling got crushed millenia ago, then she grows up to create a virus that kills everyone! sometimes you just gotta go with the story and not ask too many questions!

[celophysis5454545]

@zvermilyer3 Yes, but that happened, and that lead somewhat to things now.

[Krayorik2point0]

I hate to be the one to point this out, but dinosaurs were extinct 60 million years ago.

[XxRhinestoneEyesxX]

I read this in school :)

[pabelmon1]

for some reason... it seems like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. lol

[jake17124]

lol i found this movie on a school book my little bro called rodri jones

[zak92595]

Paradoxes one after another and thats why I hated the story and movie with a passion

[zak92595]

I really disliked the book and the movie....but now we have to do a court case in Honors English either convicting Mr. Travis of murder or sending him home...im part of the prosecution and i believe that the future was going to change anyway just for them going back in time, who knows if the expeditions before hadn't helped Keith win the election in the first place? So many questions to ask on whether he is guilty or innocent

[mermaidstar7]

we just read this today. It was awesome! Just wanted to watch this :) thx

[PointlessVideos1000]

@mermaidstar7 lol me too

[pgdevil]

How could you go into the past AT ALL without altering the future or creating a parallel universe? Simply by altering a breeze, something sent into the past could alter the position of an atom and change everything. I pose the question: how is it possible for anything sent into the past to not alter the future/create a different future?

[MirandaNicolOfficial]

@pgdevil Good Question/Thought But, I dont Think The author Thought that Much about it.

[chainbluelightning1]

I love this short story. It burns too hot for a full length novel; this form is perfect. The way Bradbury describes his world is masterful. - There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame. Gives me chills to read lines like that. Just to think that one tiny, seemingly insignificant action can incinerate everything that ever was is thought provoking to say the least.

[mrawsome15]

we read it in class for english and the story is alright but the movie SUCKS

[roxxas5]

They made the guy seem more nervous than cocky in the book.

[RemoSC49]

My favorite Bradbury story. Thanks for putting this up!

[Ainurah]

I read the book and was/am enthralled by it.

It's interesting to see it as a movie now. =)

They sure made Eckels as jerky as he is in the book.

[coolvids432]

was this where the butterfly effect came from? afterall, the guy stepped on a butterfly and thats why everything got screwed up

[Soragan]

If you're talking about the term butterfly effect and not the movie The Butterfly Effect, then yes, this is where that term came from.

[rachelsmovies113]

im reading this at my school i go to westwood high :P

[LeahJaynii]

@rachelsmovies113 me too ! xxxxx

[Biguspikned]

and what the hell does english class has to do with this?

[SamSamiSamanthaLea]

haha. its funny that you said that....since we watched this in english class yesterday.

haha(:

[SaltAndPepper09]

Its a short story you read in english class

[BasicToaster]

considering its a a written short story.......english class has a tendency to have to do with literature

[Biguspikned]

and the biggest damn carnivore in history was the giganotosaurus, t-rex would be eaten easily

[Biguspikned]

the movie is better, it explains more and it's more realistic,no offense

(ray bradbury, if you are reading this i didn't intended to hurt you, i'm only giving my opinion)

[boomkinDRUID80]

fuk english class

[phildaguy]

I haven't seen this since i was 11 i think.

[yassoXmusicXlife]

im only here cause i take it on my english class hmm :) i kinda like the plot

[AmentalKITTEH]

Wow this is the best book i ever read in English class 0_o

[LovetorockJG]

Lol I read this in 8th grade Honors English

[clacleclicloclu]

The movie sucks, but "Ray Bradbury Theatre" rules.

[deidarasbirdie]

My English class read it and OMG it was life changing. O_O

[grock1993]

[FullmetalRiza911]

I love the story. We finished it in English class. x3

[I'm a nerd, so... I would love it. ]

I wonder if my teacher knows its an episode/movie? :o

[deidarasbirdie]

O_O That's kinda creepy like I read it in my English class and so did a lot of other people,I wonder if were in the same class?That was very lame sorry if you get creeped out.

[FullmetalRiza911]

O.o

Well,, if you're a sophmore in WI, than maybe.. XD

Probably not though haha.

[scarlett0mania]

[PaulZindelsLover]

I LOVE RAY BRADBURY

[agdobleu]

hey, teh new version of this short story just sucks, and i mean it, it just simply sucks, Ray Bradbury is a genius, why he let them made that piece of...man, i'm so dissapointed, they had a very good story and just wasted the opportunity. Peter Hyams and Thomas Dean Donnelly deserve to burn in hell!!!

[tjtesttesttest]

At 1:30. "Tyrannosaurus Rex: Biggest damn carnivore in history"

Actually, the biggest carnivore ever is the Blue Whale.

[Treforce]

on land?

[roberto121395]

whales arent carnivores.. wel maybe some

[serialkilla94]

where can I find the new edition?

[bamXXXXXX]

i read this in english and we watched it to and my teacher said it was cheezzy

[tjtesttesttest]

You need a new teacher.

[PoPoNellie]

Kiel Martin R.I.P.

[axeflanker]

[TrippyKitty08]

i like this episode better than the movie

[ponygon777]

I saw this movie at school today and it was awesome! Mr.Travis is so coool!

[thrillbilly2]

Haha, I'm loving the computer at 2:36. Futuristic!

[pwetiprincess]

LOL!

i read this in english...special

this is like the only clip i know that says the story practically word for word:P

better than the little plays we did =)

if anybody else in my english is reading this then we should watch this in class instead of BMW adds...

[SoccerDudeACW]

thanks, this is more like the short story than they recent remake movie

[vincenz55]

there is another recent movie similar to this one where the earth starts going through strange changes like its going back to the early ages slowly not sure if a time machine is involved...i forget the name of it..its a one word title. thanks

[miscvids818]

They made this into a movie a couple years ago. Same title.

[vincenz55]

i am aware of that i was trying to find out about another movie

[xGalacticGeminix]

Man I loved reading this in a collection of Ray Bradbury's stories, thanks so much for uploading ^ ^

[hallsirius]

I think this may be the only story about time travel that ever needed writing.

[egnarnia]

Thanks

[Glamrock70]

Thanks for putting these great ray bradury theater episoads on, could you please put all of the strange tales from the ray bradbury theater series on, i would very much like it if you could put the episoade of the Playground on youtube, thanks my friend

[alanstarkie2001]

They also have to remove the bullet, leaving nothing behind.

[joshes4ever]

in the book it's a butterfly that eckels steps on

[miscvids818]

He steps on a butterfly in this episode too.

[darkcrow13]

thak you so much!! i have been dieing to see this again. I love the concept of it. Who would have though that a simple dragon fly would alter the future? There is one loop hole though why would'nt killing the dinosaurs also alter the future?

[miscvids818]

They were killing a dinosaur moments before it was about to die. It wouldn't have any effect on the future.

[ejungleska]

I think according to Heisenberg principals, just being in the past should alter the future. But good show nonetheless. Thanks for the upload.
