Fahrenheit 451 Audience Reviews

More Review
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
SamanthaGladue After watching this movie, I was prompted to read the book.The book is really, really good.
richard-c-harrisii This movie could have been exponentially greater had they not cast Michael B. Jordan as Montag. MBJ portrayal of this character was so bad that no matter how good of an actor Michael Shannon is, there was no saving this movie. Sad really, because this is such an amazing story from Ray Bradbury and the failure of this rendition means we probably won't get to see an updated version for years to come. This is definitely a don't waste your time watching type of movie, just a let down in every way. How the heck does Michael B. Jordan keep getting work. He literally ruins everything he is in.
rob-lentini Apparently the book is great, I'm sceptical. The movie storyline was ridiculous, the acting poor. Absolute rubbish.
thetrollbane Fahrenheit 451 is movie created after the dystopian novel with the same name of Ray Bradbury, which was published in 1953. The movie presents a future American society where books are forbidden and "firemen" burn any that are found. The title and a line from the movie explains everything: "Fahrenheit 451 - the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns." The main character is a fireman named Montag who becomes uneasy with the role of censoring works and destroying knowledge. He eventually quits his job and joins a resistance group who memorize books in order to preserve the world's greatest literary and cultural works. This rebel group encoded books into a bird's DNA. The movie's end is dramatic. The rebels hideout is discovered and Montag confronts Captain Beatty, the infamous leader of the "firemen". Montag releases the bird from a cage but pays the ultimate price for that and dies. Fahrenheit 451 is a classic of Sci-Fi genre. The book won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and the Commonwealth Club of California Gold Medal. The film was nominated for a Hugo Award and for the Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival.
