They should remake this and follow it off the book and not make Clarice the love interest, cause she's supposed to be 18, if they redid it today it would be incredible.

We are VERY much like the society of Fahrenheit 451, and how that happened when this was written 60 years ago is anybody's guess. Consider Beatty's speech about school and sports and snap endings, etc., VERY much like our time, academics don't matter, history, languages, spelling, allowed to fade away, sports are the only thing that matters, and get the children in school as young as possible to indoctrinate against their parents and home environment, etc.

Personally, I think it is more of a father-daughter love, rather than a romantic love.

True, but also, what about the Black Mechanical Hound? The Hound in the book has eight legs and helps the firemen track down to capture or kill the book readers and thinkers. In the book, the Hound was suspicious of Montag even before he hide a book and broke the law. They didn't have the Hound in the movie so they should add it to a remake. ;)

I made my own version of Fahrenheit 451, and it freakin got deleted off of YouTube because of copyright crap from RAY BRADBURY?? He's dead! And I made it because I love the story, yet this video is still up, and it has copyright from Universal Studios & Ray Bradbury and gets an ad put on it, and has 460,000+ views! I'm upset :(

I like how the director injects some subtle, visual irony at 2:05. "We must burn all the books" while holding Mein Kampf, a work which contents facilitated much of the book burning that occurred during the Third Reich.

So many books gone to waste

[Maggie Fowler]

I think it's amazing how well Ray Bradbury captured 'the future.' So many things in the book are eerily similar to how things are today (and he had no way of knowing what today would be like). Mildred watches a reality tv show, but is a part of it (so it's like a video game, or kinnect). She also uses ear buds and they have flat screen tvs. Imagine reading this 60 years ago when all of these things seemed completely impossible.... It's AMAZING
