Review of Fahrenheit 451 (1966) by David U — 27 Dec 2012
Francois Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 is your typical dystopian story; man is part of a dystopian society (in this case actively participates in it), man starts to not like dystopian society, man rebels against rebel dystopian society, and then, man stumbles on weird outcasts? As you could probably could tell I wasn't a huge fan of the ending.
Overall, the movies had some pretty good moments, such as the sequence in which the lady burns herself along with the books, but there were a lot of "blah" moments. At some points, there didn't seem to much character and/or narrative drive, and I'm going have to partly agree with the critics who criticize the film for its meandering narrative.
Again, I was very indifferent about the ending, and I was not a fan of the use of Clarisse. I really didn't think her character added much to the film. Overall, a film that is can be good, and can be boring.
