really weird choice to take bradbury's deeply mundane authoritarianism (a post-war 50s domesticity so high on numbness and passivity that nazi book-burning feels natural) and try and make it into a bombastic resistance actioner with some low-budget Blade Runner aesthetic.

Very timely kinda reminds me of what's going on right now etc and so forth

I want michael b jordan and michael shannon to come to my house and burn all my books

after blade runner 2049 flopped denis villeneuve cursed us to a year of hollywood producing dystopian movies that have a discount version of the br2049 aesthetic but literally nothing else

This has the energy of a film adaptation your high school english teacher will make you watch in class after you finish Fahrenheit 451. This has the basic story beats of Bradbury's novel and while there are some new interesting choices I thought were neat- most of them felt surface level and downright patronizing sometimes.

This made me want and also fear a 1984 adaptation so much.

Well this was messy but what can I say... I just really love visuals*

Honestly I needed this film. I’ve been neglecting reading this book all my life because I just couldn’t get into the writing style. I didn’t realize there was a crucial message underneath and I’m sad I didn’t give it a better chance. 

This is an incredible story that heavily rings through out our modern day life. It showed me a new purpose  in reading and the power of reading and knowledge and I think it was the push I needed to get back into it all together. An incredible story. 

Film wise, the atmosphere of the world guy knew vs the worlds he visits through out the story were so well done and showcased with lighting and set design. The world was so true, ironically, so vivid.

ASTONISHINGLY bad

Filme vazio, sem nada a dizer ou acrescentar. Uma pena ver uma adaptação que tinha tanto potencial com um livro foda como base ser tão péssimo em todos os aspectos

0.9/5 • Awful film.

Direction — 3/10
Performances — 2/10

Cinematography — 2/10
Sound — 2/10

Watching the HBO movie adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 reminded me of the incredibly relevant themes of suppression, oppression, and censorship contained in the Ray Bradbury novel. The movie is kind of dull and uninspired, even with 2 fantastic actors. It maintains many of the themes from the book, but my takeaway is to tell everyone to read that book! The movie kept making me think it was a cheap Minority Report for some reason...

Ez jó volt! A régit láttam, sztem ez is elég jól lett aktualizálva!

An interesting modern take on the Ray Bradbury classic. Entertaining, but not my favorite.

what... was happening here... I tried to separate it from the source material and appreaciate it without considering it as an adaptation but like. I was so bewildered. MBJ as montag (brilliant casting decision!!), laura harrier (another brilliant casting decision!) and ray bradbury deserved better.

Good concept but badly executed.
