@Fulcrum010 It's a different take on "Society that spurns harmful knowledge" than from something like....1984

It's also much lighter, textwise

@Legiondude
Yeah, seems really interesting

Yeah, in the future, firemen are now known for burning forbidden books, instead of for fighting house fires.

forbidden books or all books?

I dont remember

all books iirc

people just watch tv instead

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451#Plot_summary

Yeah, i read it when I was much younger. Don't remember it being so graphic though

There is a scene in the book where one woman refuses to abandon her house full of books so the Firemen just immolate her in the doorframe with the rest of it

Oh god, 'Superwoman' is in the film

I know that black guy is good in the Canadian SciFi circles

I just hope they don't sjw the shit out of it

it looks promising though

Jurry is out. Doesn't seem to be from Hollywood

Well I have more faith in MBJ doing it justice than I do it being sunk

And here I thought I had no more films to look forward to this year

oh wow. I have good faith they will ruin this 451 movie

Has anyone seen any of the screenwriter's movies?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramin_Bahrani#Filmography

lol I'm literally looking at that same page

Kinda exciting. Even if it sucks I can't wait to see youtube critics roast it 😃

I dont really watch movies

This guy, I don't think he has the credentials to handle Bradbury's work.

Yeah, I just looked them all over

All activist work

Hmmm, guess that's why they slipped Lilly Singh into a role

Ran out of negotiating money

I hope it's good, what an amazing book

could really wake some of these free speech haters up, although whytf have they not studied their history in the first place?

Because public education is shit

they are dooming more reasonable people to repeat it with them. 😡 🔫

Speaking of which, I started college today (GI bill)

What arguments should I write my English papers on?

what are your most passionate arguments

write from the heart, and do kickass research

Toxic masculinity, and access to firearms as a human right (lol)

I did get to cover Fahrenheit 451 in AP English IV for HS. But the specific book wasn't mandated

find another name for "toxic masculinity"

of course.

if you want to argue that it effects society negatively
