FAHRENHEIT 451 is a Dystopian science fiction drama film which takes place in a controlled society, in an indefinite future, where books and written texts are prohibited, while, individual thought has become a question of consciousness. The books have become public enemy number 1. The story has a demonstrative character, regardless of the lack of strong emotions. This idea is not well treated, because it comes down, in a rougher sense, on a fight between the books and the media. A kind of revolution is a excessive background of the story. It is based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury.
In the future, an oppressive government maintains control of public opinion by outlawing literature and maintaining a group of enforcers known as "firemen" to perform the necessary book burnings. One of the firemen, Montag, meets one of his neighbors, Clarisse, a schoolteacher who may be fired due to her unorthodox views. The two have a short discussion about his job. Montag begins to question the morality of his vocation. Curious about the world of books, he soon falls in love with a beautiful young member of a pro-literature underground - and with literature itself...
Mr. Truffaut has edited the contrasts with a large dose of the enthusiasm. People are going to save the world, but only if they become books. The books will save the world, as soon as they become people. A world that rejects literature fits in a sad and depressing atmosphere. The direction is unclear and undefined. The characterization had to be better.
Oskar Werner ( Guy Montag), Julie Christie ( Linda Montag/Clarisse) and Cyril Cusack (Captain) are carefree and pompous characters at the same time. A book brings unrest in their characters, which manifests itself through desire, fear, anger, pain and a kind of love in the end.
Watching this movie, I have an impression that I was on a promising party, which has eventually become uncomfortable and depressing.
