Farenheit 451

        The movie I chose to see was Farenheit 451. The film's main character is Montag. Montag is a part of the fire department. In this futuristic setting, the fireman's job is too burn books instead of put out fires. A lot of people including his wife are hooked to the TV and on a lot of prescription drugs. He questions the idea of burning books as the movie progresses. He himself even takes books himself and reads them. His wife rats him out for doing so. Montag is taken to his house were he commits the murder of his police chief when he is asked to burn his own books. Montag's neighbor told him of a secret society were people represent certain books. He runs away to this colony and joins them.

       Overall, I thought the movie was very interesting. I read the book a couple years ago and really liked it. I like the storyline of the movie although it is kind of slow and not very dramatic. It is interesting to watch the change of heart of Montag as he starts to reason through what he is doing. I thought it was a fairly good movie for being so old and would recommend it to anyone.
