Всичко за този филм

Ray Bradbury's best-selling science fiction masterpiece about a future without books takes on a chillingly realistic dimension in this film classic directed by one of the most important screen innovators of all time, the late François Truffaut . Julie Christie stars in the challenging dual role of Oskar Werner's pleasure-seeking conformist wife, Linda, and his rebellious, book-collecting mistress, Clarisse. Montag (Oskar Werner), a regimented fireman in charge of burning the forbidden volumes, meets a revolutionary school teacher who dares to read. Suddenly he finds himself a hunted fugitive, forced to choose not only between two women, but between personal safety and intellectual freedom. Truffaut's first English language production is an eerie fable where mankind becomes the ultimate evil. 1966 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t. Granted there are a few scenes that capture some moments well enough for the time but all the scenes never really fit together and the characters are all so stagnant. The name changes seem irrelevant and have no other purpose other than, "we couldn't get the copy write for that." The main protagonist female takes over two characters roles instead of having her focus on her own. There are a TON of useless scenes that don't add anything to the movie. I can't say more. But want to.

I have read this book before and let me tell you, it was way better than this movie. Many of the characters had different names, they did things that were completely different than the book had said, and they didn't include the a few characters that were in Ray Bradbury's book. I have to say, the movie was ok, but I would not recommend it to you if you like the book better.

They say the book was a masterpiece (is a masterpiece). This film, (although drawing as much as possible from the book to stay true to it) is a masterpiece on its own. The book and the movie expand on each other perfectly and it in many rights is like a romantic Hitchcock movie. Ultimately, both the book and the film outlast time and remain eternally relevant. It is a shame books are being truly lost. Yes, they are digital....all of them at our fingertips in an electric instant. For now. For now.
