Exquisite corpse

FAHRENHEIT 451

Fahrenheit 451 is the story of a young fireman called Montag and his wife who lived in a world where books and reading were forbitten. The story is a crazy situation after another; It tries to make a story without realism. It is hard to understand the main idea at the beginning if you are not concentrated. The story takes place in a town, and we can see just few people on the streets. In general, the scenes takes place during the day. Talking about the characters, definitely Montag is the one who steals the show, since he is shown as a different person from what he really is. The setting was in a small town, surrounded by landscapes. The way how the government try to dissapear books show us a horrible present and future. The director tried to show the story in a crazy way where most of the characters showed strong feelings like fear and rage.

  1. Hi Alvaro
    I also saw the movie and, maybe it's because were are used to such different narrative styles in films (the nowadays hollywood crap and so), that the movie seems boring or hand to understand. Definitely, the book is to be read so to understand the film.
    A question: who tries to make a story without realism and how?

    {Check your spelling: "forbitten", "futur" and... some other words}
