What was the message of Fahrenheit 451?
...yep and it resembles what is going on today-the thought police are becoming more brazen as time goes by-"laws(no books) passed" FREEDOM of SPEECH IS OUT!...and people are forced to think the way of the government...ideas are prohibited!...TERROR AND FEAR are used as a tool tactically to control the people so everyone complies with the demands of their government...witch hunts form and innocent free thinking people are put away for their non-compliance- arrested everytime they think outside the box-man, I could go on- but that should be enough-I guess a good way to describe it is-government=parent/ people=children...good luck.
In fahrenheit 451, why are people so unhappy?
Well, I mean look at them. How happy can you be watching television and popping equalizing pills, never expanding your knowledge? No matter what any government says, the human mind has an innate desire to learn, to discover, to become. Reading has been a very strong method of documenting knowledge and spreading it, and the fictional banning of that knowledge makes learning new things almost impossible, especially given the climate of the rest of the society. The whole meat of the story is why everyone is so unhappy, dying, burning alive with their books, overdosing on Prozac-like drugs. It isn't a happy place at all.

What is The book, Fahrenheit 451 about?
Wonderful book, and movie. (Just the idea, and story - not the acting/movie stuff,I'm not a critic.) Important idea about censorship. What's important in life. What society wants from citizen and visa versa. You ask why books are banned. I do not know other than leadership is scared of some ideas and try to censor them. Every time a book or movie or idea is censored I remember the characters in this book, and get scared for a time, then others back the idea maker and authors and society grows. Change scares people, and yet we are in constant change. I'd suggest going to a used book store - and looking at the idea makers of the past. Interesting to see what scared people in the past. Early on many believed nuclear war was winnable, but through books and movies it was proved not to be true. Bad example, but look up the good ones. Socal interaction does scare people, why I do not know. Peace.

Fahrenheit 451?!?
haha read this book for honors English too! Okay so basically the whole 451 society is censored because they don't want these people to think...so the government even the branches as little as the fire department, stop any form of free thinking. They don't want people to read because they believe that opens the mind up to think free thoughts to ruin the government's control. So they burn books, get rid of educational shows, and erase any trace that free thinking was ever accepted. They replace all this with new technology and laws that forbid people to think and be free. They are controlling what people think and do basically. You're teacher will also probably wanna hear that Ray Bradbury did an amazing job of predicting somewhat of what the future would be like, take into consideration this was written in like the 1920's or 40's or something like that. Bring up the virtual TVs and blue-tooth headset like phones these people had. Also bring up that fact that the government and entertainment industry can pretty much control you and limit what you see and don't see. They advertise, we want it, they ban it, we think it's horrible to have it. They burn books to keep people from having an opinion...that's the main point of censorship in the book. Good luck!
What lesson can be learned from the book Fahrenheit 451? How is the government in our society today similar to the books government?
Incredibly, Farenheit 451 is about how to run a peaceful protest and resistance to a regime and it’s politics.What the book-people are doing at the end of the book is not illegal. They’re not breaking any crimes. They’re resisting the spirit of a law they severely dislike by just following the letter of it.The first thing the say to the protagonist (whose name I’ve forgotten… It’s been a whole decade since I’ve read that book) is to get rid of the book ASAP, as it’s illegal to own such a thing.Think about it. They don’t want to run afoul of the government, they don’t really want to rock the boat. They just want to keep as many books alive as they can, by storing them in their minds and memories instead than on paper.They hope to slowly change the minds of the people about the supposed “dangers” of books and to get the laws re-appealed, but they won’t do so from the shadows. I don’t know if they have any chance of success, but the book does end on a hopeful note: You’re not alone, there’s hope for a better future.About how the book’s government is similar to ours:Some parallel could be drawn to how the government reacts to social problems by going the easy road and decreeing blanket bans of certain products and services on the basis that they are bad for society.That being said, you should take this particular story as such and not as a cautionary tale or a warning against tyranny or anti-intellectualism.
Fahrenheit 451: Captain Beatty symbolism?
Make brownies. I know it sounds dumb, but hear me out. Captain Beatty is an ironic character. Although he is very well-read, he hates people who like to read, and books themselves. He is also extremely perceptive, to the point that he literally seems to be able to read Guy's thoughts. Now chocolate: Chocolate seems to make everything better. when people are sad or depressed, they say that chocolate heals their pain and is understanding. Chocolate is so different and unique from all other junk food, and seems like it could be a good representation of Captain Beatty.
What do you think of the new Fahrenheit 11/9 movie by Michael Moore?
I’d rather find a lump on my testicles than sit through anything Mike makes these days.See, I am ashamed to say that I enjoyed Fahrenheit 9/11 when I was a lad, because I’m one of those stereotypical “left at 20, right at 40” type of blokes. But now, where once I considered him to be a mere documentary film maker, I now realize that he peddles in propaganda.Ever the centrist, I don’t really hold that against him either, if the right can have the likes of Michael Savage and Rush Limbagh, then the left can certainly have Michael Moore, the world is big enough for them all.“Coming up after the break - Queers and Drugs, Why Cock Turns Boys to Heroin.”What annoys me though, is that the left seems far more condescending and insular than the right at this point. It seems like most of the conservatives know for a fact that their most popular personalities are not even remotely impartial, but the left seem to hold Moore in reverence, like he is a stand-up chap that deals with his chosen subjects impartially and fairly.He clearly doesn’t. I mean, I have some issues with the way gun laws seem to work in the United States, I basically think we need to find a happy medium between “nutters can still buy guns” and “OMG Guns are the devil so law abiding chaps need to hand them all in” but looking back at the way he held that picture of the little girl up with a mawkish look on his face while Charlton Heston walked off, it’s just.. well.. overtly sentimental and ridiculously infantile to me.Its certainly nothing like proper investigative journalism.“This film’s tentatively called Men, What’s the Point in Those Cunts Eh?”The short answer is this, I am not looking forward to it, and I will not watch it, because I also don’t listen to the likes of Rush Limbagh either.You get far more out of spending 90 minutes perusing a broad selection of newspapers and magazines , than you do from watching a “documentary” aimed squarely at those that already exist within an echo-chamber, so I think watching his tripe is a total waste of time.
