	FAHRENHEIT 451 - BOOK
		Fahrenheit 451 uses the genre of science fiction, which was enjoying immense popularity at the time of the books publication, as a vehicle for his message that oppressive government, left unchecked, can do irreparable damage to society by limiting the creativity and freedom of it's people.
		On a more personal level, Bradbury used Fahrenheit 451 as a vehicle through which to protest what he believed to be the invasiveness of editors who, through their strict control of the books they printed, impaired the originality and creativity of writers.
		Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's most popular novel, has been reprinted scores of times since it was initially published in 1953.

	FAHRENHEIT 451 + THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (ANCHOR BAY) - DVDs
		Fahrenheit 451, after all, is about a child learning to read and growing into a member of a larger world.
		Fahrenheit 451's finale in a colony of people devoted to memorizing and passing on specific works of literature is jarringly naturalistic in comparison to the forced urbanity of the rest of the picture.
		Fahrenheit 451 gets a gratifyingly exhaustive Universal/Laurent Bouzereau treatment, starting with a warm 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer that only succumbs to distracting grain for a few seconds in chapter 10--the result, no doubt, of a bad optical transition inherent in the source print.

	Fahrenheit 451 \| Classic Book Reviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Fahrenheit 451 is chilling because the fireman is the tool not of some tyrant but of the tyrannical masses.
		But Fahrenheit 451 is also a powerfully written warning that any society can forget the importance of ideas and debate, succumbing to comfort without even realizing what it's lost.
		I was particularly impressed by Bradbury's afterword and coda, written in 1982 and 1979 respectively, in which he writes passionately about the ironic--and deeply cautionary--censorship of Fahrenheit 451 and his other works, chipped away by the very kind of peer-pressure political correctness that led to the society against which Montag rebelled.

		Yet this October marks the golden anniversary of the one book in his corpus that he will admit is science fiction: "Fahrenheit 451." Half a century after its publication, it remains a favorite of teachers who assign it to English classes and librarians who appreciate its celebration of literacy as the hallmark of civilization.
		He wrote "The Fireman," the 1950 novella upon which "Fahrenheit 451" is based, on a coin-operated typewriter in the basement of the UCLA library, over the course of nine days and at a cost of 10 cents every half hour.
		Bradbury insists that the purpose of "Fahrenheit 451" was not to prophesy.

	The Predictions of Fahrenheit 451
		Fahrenheit 451 portrays a world where people are so fascinated with or addicted to entertainment and information provided through an electronic medium, that they no longer desire the written word.
		I think even more of an amazing prediction from Fahrenheit 451, is the seashells she wore to bed, the similarities between those and today's ipod headphones, you can barely go anywhere, especially places like classrooms from bored students, or teens stuck sitting there is astonishing.
		And that is what Fahrenheit 451 (or any dystopia book) is about, the creation of a nightmare society that has taken the great power of technology and used it to turn people into mindless drones that only have one voice, one idea, and no disagreements; in essence the death of innovation.

	Review of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
		Fahrenheit 451 is one of Bradbury's most famous books, and it reads like a fever dream -- intensely cinematic, directed by its own weird dream logic, and full of the quality of images that haunt you for days.
		Fahrenheit 451 begins with a famous opening line: "It was a pleasure to burn" (33), a line which resonates throughout the book in interesting ways.
		The victory of the individual at the end of Fahrenheit 451 is achieved at the cost of the self-destruction of the rest of society, which is scant hope for those individuals who are currently in the grip of a repressive system.

	FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury
		Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel FAHRENHEIT 451 was a response to some of the major concerns of World War II, with future society depicted as having evolved into a diet of mass media and literal sedation under a regime of censorship and book burning.
		While it is most often used as a way of talking about media and censorship, Fahrenheit 451 also represents a literary mode that seeks to prevent a certain future by describing it.
		When Fahrenheit 451 was released in 1953, censorship was a major concern in the U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, was leading a witch hunt to root out all suspected Communists sympathizers in the government, as well as writers, publishers, moviemakers, and performers.

		Fahrenheit 451, the 1953 reincarnation of "The Fire Man," presents ideas that are far more complex than that brief description indicates.
		At the same time it salutes those who dedicate their lives to the preservation and passing on of knowledge, and testifies to the quiet or passionate courage of the rebel with a cause.
		Although Ray Bradbury's work is often referred to as science fiction, Fahrenheit has plenty to say about the world as it is, and not as it could be.

		Fahrenheit 451’s message is one that all people should be exposed to, and this novel is such a quick (but powerful) read that everyone really should read it.
		It is this message which makes "Fahrenheit 451" essential reading, especially in a society where entertainment today bears an ever-closer resemblance to the noise-dominated media depicted in Bradbury's nightmarish future.
		Fahrenheit 451 is excellent because it shows what our society could become if we are not careful.

	Review of Fahrenheit 451
		Fahrenheit 451, written by Jean-Louis Richard and Francois Truffaut from the book by Ray Bradbury, directed by Francois Truffaut, 1965, 110 min.
		Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 keeps many of the plot elements of the book but somehow misses some essential part of the book that has made it inspirational for so many years.
		Overall, Fahrenheit 451 is a movie that tries as hard as it can, has its heart in the right place, gets many details right, but somehow fails to gel into a compelling whole.

	Fahrenheit 451: Avatar of the New Man
		Fahrenheit 451 is much more than an allegory of the future, and the dangers that lurk for modern man. In many respects both, the film and the novel are studies of a type of human temperament that revolves around an anti-humanism that prides itself in destruction.
		The great confusion that has been propagated by most commentators of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is to neglect that he wrote the novel in 1950, precisely as a vivid commentary on Stalin’s communist Soviet Union.
		Fahrenheit 451 is more complicated than just being a mere look at some future horror story that has the state as its protagonist.
