The movie was nothing like the book they removed almost all of the crucial plot points from the original book. First of all they got rid of Mildred she is supposed to represent all of the people who stopped reading cause TV was more intresting. They didn't kill of beatty his death symbolizes that the ones who used to burn will burn for there sins. Montag meeting the group in the forest is way better than in the movie in the book it showed the perseverance of mankind and that they can do anything vs the movie where they needed a DNA thing to do it for them. Don't get me started on clarisse she was the innocents in the world that died from the corruption of mankind vs the movie that she was just a love interest to help montag. The worst change is montag he is so aagressive and annoying in the movie in the book he is a man who knows nothing and want to change cause he doesn't like the way the world is. also why no Faber of granger like they were the 2 last steps to montag really joining the book people, and why no atom bomb like it was rebirth a new start, something you would never expect to happen to someone it shows how disconnected from the world people were that they didn't even know the war got that bad that they got bombed.

Worst movie I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen some bad ones. Just go watch mean girls two instead of this (mean girls two was a bad movie but at least I could finish is).

I first read the book and the movie is rather disappointing, I support keeping book adaptations up to date but I believe that the social media incerted in the televisions was unecessary and stupid.The characters arent accurate at all, Clarisse was a misterious girl, with unusuall attitudes, she never showed evidence of reading a book ,much less being a black-market seller to the poor or one that goes to raves or whatever that bar was, she was suspected of reading but not obvious, Montags awakening was subtile, and she was 17, not obvious in the movie.
The cameras that they had and who speaked to them, the point is that they were so brainwashed there was no use in cameras, the director probably misunderstood that the “family” that spoke to them was a tv show that said their names, and they would answer.
Overall it is a misunderstood vision, thats still valid but not great, there should have been more psychological fight and pain as well as doubt and human feelings.

The story of the book doesn't match a single bit. Huge plots in the book are twisted or omitted. Pivotal characters are not there. The entire reason the author wrote the book is to preserve the original meaning of books. The film perfectly displays what the book is meant to tell, but in the exact wrong way. I would only recommend this film if you want to watch something with your brain turned off. Don't watch for the story and don't expect any influence from the book.

I believe the movie interpretation of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a good example of exactly what Ray Bradbury was trying to avoid through his book. Ray Bradbury had been warning people of the dangers that come with social media and censorship through his book, only for his very own book to be taken and destroyed by the movie version. I am going to touch on three large topics that were changed between the book and the movie addition of Fahrenheit 451.
The first topic I would like to touch on is the lack of an important character named Mildred. In the book, Mildred is one of the key characters who shows us what life is like for most people in this world. Mildred displays a lack of emotion and understanding in which people have for each other, also while portraying the true carelessness of the citizens in this time. Mildred taught us what a lack of human interaction could do to a society without bonds being formed. These are just a few of the MANY reasons why Mildred was a very important character who should NOT have been left out of the plot in the movie. I’m very disappointed that we as an audience did not get to see this character brought to life, especially because there are many actors that could have done a very good job with the part.
The second topic I would like to pinpoint is the relationships Guy Montag has with some of the other characters. In the book, Beatty is still the fire captain, (yay, they kept something consistent), but he has a strange father-son relationship with Montag, who wasn’t even the best firefighter in the book. In the movie, Montag has Beatty put on a pedestal. Montag is lined up to follow Beatty in his footsteps and become the next Chief Firefighter, which isn’t anything like the plot from the book, in which Beatty hates Montag. The next relationship I would like to touch on is the one between Guy Montag and Clarisse. The book portrayed this relationship as a friendship/acquaintance between an older guy and his young neighbor, a child. In the movie this relationship somehow turns into a really weird sort of love story between Montag and Clarisse, the CHILD in the book. Gross. While the actor and character for Clarisse are older in the actual movie, it still seems very wrong. Somehow, this isn’t even the worst of the changes to the movie adaptation.
Last but not least, the Omnis. I don’t even know how to start this paragraph. The Omnis is a DNA strand that contains all the information in the world and is kept safe inside of a bird. I don’t think very much needs to be said here, because you now know just as much as I do. The level of ridiculousness the creators of this movie took the plot to is not only crazy-unreal, but just plain stupid. The whole end of the movie was very confusing. I don’t really have much more to say with nice words, so I’m going to leave this paragraph as it is.
In conclusion, sometimes it is better to leave a book as a book. Some turn out to be great movies, but not this one. Before you watch the movie, look up the reviews, they’re not great. If you would like to save yourself some anger, don’t even look up the reviews, just avoid the movie altogether. I would like to say thank you to Ray Bradbury for Fahrenheit 451, and sorry, your book did not deserve that.
