I watched this on TCM the other night after not having seen it for many years. This "futuristic" movie was shot in 1966 and some of it seems a little stilted and corny now (why do you need an entire hook & ladder squadron just to burn a little pile of books?) - but the most prescient detail in the movie is that everyone is so happy and proud of their wall-mounted 16x9 flat-screen TVs!

That movies a bunch of lies and Michael Moore is fat, no-talent commie who oughta go live in.......

Oh, you said 451

Well, that's an ok flick if you can buy the ridiculous concept that the government controls the masses thru the media...

... you mean they don't?:freak:

That's one I still don't have yet on DVD.

Gotta remember to pick that one up next time I'm out.

Look deeper - great contrast, bleak scenery, outside looking in, overbearing sight of government, internal struggle with life's perception, reality and quest, alarms of life~death, wilderness etc. - that's what Truffaut was going for. :thumbsup:
