Fahrenheit 451 is extremely similar to The Veldt and Wall-E in many various ways. All three stories can be easily connected with the idea of the future. Fahrenheit 451’s storyline is about a guy named Montag who burns books for a living. The Veldt is about a family who basically lets technology control their lives, and Wall-E is about a robot who cleans up and crushes garbage all over this place we call earth. All three stories are similar but different in their own ways.
Some of the best movies are based on books. One movie based on a book is The Hunger Games. While the movie is entertaining, it is very different from the book. “Ask any reader who has seen the movie version of a favorite novel, and the answer will usually be, "The book was better." That 's because readers of a novel have already made their own perfect movie version” (Corliss et al., 2005). It would appear that Corliss is correct because many people who have read The Hunger Games book would say that it is better than the movie. Although the Hunger Games movie is entertaining, it is very different from the book. There are details left out of the movie that were in the book, the movie doesn 't demonstrate the ongoing theme of hunger as well as the book does, and the the movie does a better job with

In the novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury creates a society through the use of narrative descriptions and dialogue of a world where the vast majority of characters possesses no emotions with little knowledge about everything happening around them. This is shown in the comparison of Clarisse and Mildred.
As you may know, Bradbury made Mildred and Clarisse very important characters besides Montag, making them memorable characters towards the story.

The movie and the book Fahrenheit 451 have many differences. One difference is that In the book, no women are around at the end of the book, but in the film, women end up playing a big role. This could be because the book was written many years ago, and the film was made this year and women have more rights and are respected more than they were back then. Another difference is that Clarisse vanishes and passes away in the book when Montag starts to befriend her. But in the film, Clarisse . She replaces Faber from the book who isn’t in the film. She took Montag to the people hiding in the woods in the barn with all of the books, and she led Montag to quit being a fireman and run away with the group.

In May 10, 1993, before the rise of Hitler, Heinrich Heine had said, “"Wherever books are burned, human beings are destined to be burned too." Nazis were taking over Germany during the 1920s. In the movie version “Fahrenheit 451”, many comparisons were made to the Nazis during World War II. Ray Bradbury, the author of “Fahrenheit 451”, wrote the book in 1953, eight years after the Nazis rose down from power. Ray Bradbury based the novel on a dystopian society, where the people are miserable, and books are no longer allowed to be read by society. Many differences were shown in the movie version of Fahrenheit 451 to prove how the movie was meant to strengthen the allusions to Nazis during World War II.
It is crazy to think how pop culture can point to the things it works so hard to reject, but in the case of Divergent by Veronica Roth, parallels between it and the gospel abound. Divergent is set in a dystopian Chicago in which the citizens are divided into 5 factions; the brave, the selfless, the intelligent, the honest and the kind. The story follows Tris Prior, a sixteen year old girl who realizes her Divergence, or possession of characteristics of more than one faction. The novel and film adaption of Divergent include many similarities to the gospel, notably the emphasis on a choice of commitment, the concept that we need more than one characteristic to grow, that salvation is brought about through sacrifice, and that humankind is at its heart, evil.
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.

The movie received a 7.2 out of 10 on IMDb, a popular movie rating site,which is a higher rating than most of today 's movies. Although the movie did do alright to the general public, the movie did have some flaws when compared to Orwell 's original writings. The movie did not include all of the same details, it went very quickly over many of the events and was difficult to get into and understand for those who haven 't read the book.
Following the Second World War, tension began to rise between the democratic America and the communistic, war-torn Soviet Union. As America and the USSR entered the Cold War, fear of communism and its encroachment spread like fire through the rebuilding American public. The panic instilled by such fear leads not only to a hunt for all person and qualities associated with Communism, but also a period of disillusionment and spiritual desertion. Scared of standing out and being assumed as a communist, the people of the mid-1900s forced themselves to conform to the social and political standards of the day. The Levett towns built all across the suburbs, the moms that never worked but stayed at home to take care of the children, and the men—dressed
