In the future, an oppressive government maintains control of public opinion by outlawing literature and maintaining a group of enforcers known as "firemen" to perform the necessary book burnings. This is the premise of Ray Bradbury's acclaimed science-fiction novel Fahrenheit 451, which became the source material for French director François Truffaut's English-language debut. While some liberties are taken with the description of the world, the narrative remains the same, as fireman Montag (Oskar Werner) begins to question the morality of his vocation. I did not like the movie because it was filmed in the old days. I don't like movies that's was filmed in the olden days. Also the music is futuristic. One example is when they had gliding trains.

A dystopia is a community or society that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. " The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. " This is a line from Ayn Rand. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages. Equality 7-2521 is the classic Ayn Rand hero. For one, he's a little too good to be true. He's so superior to everybody else, in every way (body, character, mind), and he seems to have no weaknesses at all. The government repressive, its corrupt, & abuse its citizens. The citizens have no freedom, no individuality, and no technology, i think the the hardest to live without with is the lack of freedom. Lack of freedom to have a career. The easiest one to live without with is technology. I don't use technology that often. All men were brothers, they had the same experiences, & there's shouldn't be a conflict. If i had total power and authority over a country, the type of utopia i would do is make everyone equal. Everyone should have a opportunity to educate themselves. Have a school young boys & girls. It would work! Some negative side effect if some kids took the education for granted.
