Is reading becoming obsolete?: an analysis of 'Fahrenheit 451?'

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. 

An in-depth Analysis of Sydney Lumet's 1976 film 'Network'

Network 1976 Film

In this video, I analyze themes from the 1976 satire/black comedy 'Network' directed by Sydney Lumet, written by Paddy Chayefsky, and starring Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, and Beatrice Straight. The film is about a television station that gets a ratings boost after 1 of its anchors tells his audience that he is going to commit suicide on live television. Incredibly, the film won Academy Awards in 3 acting categories (Best Actor: Peter Finch; Best Actress: Faye Dunaway; and Best Supporting Actress: Beatrice Straight). The film also earned an award for Paddy Chayefsky's script. This film is prophetic and more relevant today than when it was made. One of the great films ever!
