COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Different submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 14, 2013, 2:53pm Fahrenheit 451 is a fantastic book, but the movie kind of twists it. I don't like it as much as the book.
Quite a good movie, given it was made in 1966 and all.. submitted by Tassos on January 9, 2022, 7:04pm I haven't read the book recently, if I ever read it it must have been many decades ago. I saw the movie tonight, and I liked it quite a bit. Truffaut is a great director, and the actors were not bad. ANyway it is impossible to transfer any book more than 100 pages long into a movie and not have to omit considerable amounts of details and subplots, not to mention the narratives that become unnecessary given the pictures. WHen I was growing up, movies based on popular novels were always a big dissapointment to me, for the above reason, and many times because of the sloppy job of the actors and directors, but this is not happening here.
