An analysis of Francois Truffaut's 'Fahrenheit 451'
In this video, I will analyze themes from 'Fahrenheit 451', a 1966 British film by director Francois Truffaut who co-wrote the script with Jean-Louis Richard, based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. The film stars Julie Christie as Clarisse, Oskar Werner as Guy Montag, and Cyril Cusack as the Fire Captain of Engine House 451. In a totalitarian society in a dystopian future, individuality is denied, conformity is the law, and firemen are paid to burn books. This is the seminal film on thought censorship, as relevent today as it was when it came out.
