Differences Between Fahrenheit 451 Book And Movie

224 Words1 Page

I adore watching film adaptations of novels because I find it particularly interesting to compare the novel to the film. Therefore, I had my Fahrenheit 451 novel out whilst watching the film. This made it easier for me to catch all the differences between the novel and the movie. I was disappointed that the film adaptation cut out so many important things from the novel. For one thing, Faber wasn’t introduced in the film at all while he played such a huge role in the novel. I had been looking forward to seeing the character of Faber portrayed in a film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 as he had been such a major contributor to Montag’s understanding of the importance of books in the novel. However, he was completely cut out from the entire film.

There was also no war in the movie, which made it so that there was no bombing at the end so the city wasn’t destroyed. Faber also wasn’t in the movie, although he was a major character in the book because of his influence over Montag.
