Farenheit 451 DVD
Added 8/25/2009
I'd seen this movie numerous times growing up. When my 13 year old son read the book for a school book report, I wanted him to see the movie. It's hilarious to see the Firefighters chasing after Montag with their jet packs - you can see the strings holding them up! Still, great classic movie, and can't wait for the Mel Gibson updated remake.

The Bottom Line:
Hurt by a glum-looking Oskar Werner (he apparently was feuding with Truffaut during filming) as Montag and the bizarre stunt casting of Julie Christie in both lead female roles, this movie adaptation of Bradbury's novel fails to deliver in any meaningful way.

The initial DVD was received damaged and was not usable. Upon filling out the return form, we received a brand new copy. It was shipped promptly -- without any questions. We returned the damaged one. Transaction complete! Very professionally handled. Thanks!

A classic anti-utopia

Ray Bradbury was never a hard science sci fi writer as his Martian books were off in science when they were written, but in terms of literary acceptance he has led the pack.
Here a world where the printed word is being destroyed,
we see what can only be the fall of a civilization as motor manual's
are necessary to keeping cars going.
I've always wished that we would put the important elements to
something like stone that can't be bashed by vandals invading.
Memorization is how many of the bardic epic poems have come down to us,
but for non-poetry prose is very hard for most people,
so the idea of a lot of people each memorizing one book doesn't seem practical.
I liked the movie just the same and I think that it was made in Britain tells you a lot.
