Fahrenheit 451 Essay When you read a book do you visualize the movie in your head? When books are turned into movies most the time the author’s message is ruined, and the integrity of the novel. When someone writes a novel they write it from their point of view, their vision, it’s their story. But when a director hears, or reads the book they see it differently and from their point of view. Novels become a different novel when turned into a Hollywood movie because no one visualizes the same characters, settings or themes.
The characters in the novel and movies Fahrenheit 451 are different in multiple ways from their attitudes, names or the characters from the book aren’t even in the movie. Mildred Guy Montag’s wife in the novel was not the same person in the movie, in the movie her name was Linda. Linda’s attitude was the same but changing the name of a character is pointless. In the book Linda and Clarisse are not the same in anyway, in the movie they are similar even down to the actor who plays their parts. But the women are still dramatically different in their belief systems. Throughout the movie Montag is searching to the similarities between the two women. Clarisse die in the novel and in the movie live and is his teacher in away. She became Faber who was a character in the novel but, was left out of the movie. The director left out a main character that’s a sign that the author’s message will be ruined. In the movie Clarisse guides Montag to the Harvard Hobos or as the movie called them the book people, in the novel Faber told Montag about the book people. In the novel at the end there are no women learning the books and becoming the books. This difference could be that there is a 14 years difference between the year the novel was written and the making for the movie.
The setting is mostly the same in the movie but, the parlor wall was not the same it was a plastic flat screen. In the novel the parlor wall was a huge TV that was the wall it took up

    I think it is very important to make changes in the movies from the book because usually in books they are so descriptive to the point where some stuff aren’t that important or just too expensive to have in movies. With books you have to describe a lot to really paint a picture in someone’s mind, but in movies it will show you the really important parts from the book to really make up the movie and the whole plot, and without the plot it isn’t really based on the…

    6. TONE: Author’s attitude toward the subject is best described as dreary, bland. The tone of the book so far has been quite gray, there is not much life in people, save Clarisse, and it is difficult to like anybody at all, even Montag, the protagonist. It can be inferred that the book was indeed written by an eccentric man such as Ray Bradbury, and it is interesting yet somewhat annoying reading this piece of work called Fahrenheit 451. However it must be said that the author does do a fantastic…

    Books are compared to how people are in the present and how books are not needed because the current technology which the society has will start replacing books.

    An example of this is when True Son almost escapes to visit Corn Blade. The author writes “the unseen valleys, the unforded streams, the untrodden forest and the great shaggy, unclimbed mountain.” I can clearly see all of these things in my head. The movie also introduces Shenandoah and changes the plot completely. I personally do not enjoy romance movies, therefore, I did not like this change. The ending of the book also left you thinking. I like books that don’t tell you exactly what happened to the characters. You get to make up your own ending, and that’s why I think the book The Light in the Forest is better than the…

    There are actually a lot of similarities in the movie and the book but most are very small and not easily noticed. What you have to understand when looking at a movie or reading a book based on the same story is that it is basically impossible to have everything due to the facts that they are portrayed by two…

    Another stark difference within the movie is how Caroline dies. In the novel, Caroline dies of scarlet fever after nursing her beloved Elizabeth back to health. In the movie, Caroline dies while she is giving birth to Victor's little brother, William. In the novel, when Victor goes to school in Ingolstadt, he is never visited by Elizabeth. Instead he is isolated from his friends and family for close to six years. The movie really seems to dampen the theme of isolationism by showing Elizabeth and Henry Clerval visiting Victor in Ingolstadt. After the monster is created, Victor falls ill. In the novel, only Clerval arrives in Germany to nurse Victor…

    Why hate the Film?

    While most of us love watching films, those of us who have read the book in which a film was developed from, will most likely feel uneasy when the film does not match exactly what we read. In most cases, we feel disappointed to not see our own interpretation of the book on the screen. A film made from a book or inspired by a book is called adaptation. Many people who have read Cornell Woolrich's short story "It Had to Be Murder" and then watched Alfred Hitchcock’s film, “Rear Window,” were disappointed that the adaptation did not reflect exactly the story. That’s because, we lack the understanding that a Literature–Based film although called an adaptation is indeed a translation of the story.…

    Ray Bradbury is a master of characterization techniques. He uses his expertise, such as indirect characterization, in the creation of Fahrenheit 451. In addition to learning about the explicit qualities of Bradbury’s characters, readers receive deeper insight as we carefully read his stories. In Fahrenheit 451, we learn more indirect information about the protagonist, Guy Montag, through the words used to introduce this character. We have a clear view of Montag’s thoughts and feelings that lead him into his own transformation.…

    1984 vs Fahrenheit 451

    For starters both of these Novels follow the plot of a main character that rebels against a higher party for something he believes in. In 1984 Winston Smith goes against the party in order to live freely, doing as he pleases. Part of the novel, which provides us with evidence of Winston Going against the party, is when Julia and himself meet with O’Brien at his home, and he confesses to O’Brien about being against the party. In Fahrenheit 451 Guy Montag the main character goes against the law of books being illegal, and the fire fighters who burn the books. We know Guy is against the law because he secretly steals books from the houses they work at. We are aware he is against the fire fighters because he murders the fire fighter captain. These two points are two prime examples of how the novels compare. Both of the main characters pretend to be on the side of everyone else, but in the end are caught by the higher parties, going against the rules of each of their societies. After viewing only these specific points it is very clear that the idea of the main character rebelling against a higher party took place in both the novels.…

    Sometimes in movie production a film is developed from a piece of literature. Directors will use the plot of a book either to create a unique movie, or to give the audience a chance to see what their favorite book is like when acted out on the screen. Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" is a good example of a work adapted to video. The movie has slight differences from the book, but the director Lamont Johnson follows the original closely.…

    Movies have long been struggling to capture a book in pictures and sound and have long been failing. So much more can be put into a few pages of a book than ten minutes of a movie, and books can be much longer without the author worrying about the reader losing interest. Anyone who has read and liked the book before going to see the movie will automatically find the book to be far better than the movie simply because the movie is forced to leave out many of what the reader considers to be key aspects in the book. This doesn’t mean that the movie is bad, only that it can’t portray the story well enough to suit the avid reader. Unfortunately, movies will never be able to portray a book with any sort of competence or inspire the same sort of devotion in the reader.…

    For a long time Hollywood has been making movies that are based on popular literature. Adapting books to film is never an easy task, sometimes it works out well for example, The Lord of the Rings, The Shining and countless more. Though it can also fail horribly, as if the screenwriter and director did not bother to read the book. A bad adaptation can even kill a whole franchise, such as The Golden Compass and Eragon. People often tend to compare which is better, the book or the movie but as they are two completely different mediums to tell a story it is better to “see” if the adaptation itself is any good. There is so much work behind every little detail in movie adaptations, when the author writes ....the director has to choose everything…
