Journal Entry 36: F451

            Yesterday we saw pats of Fahrenheit 451 the movie in class. At first everyone was excited because we can finally watch a movie. But after the movie is played for some time, everyone started to criticize the movie. Everyone thought that the movie was the weirdest and worst movie on Earth because no one really understood what was going on. Since we didn't read the book, I guess it is normal to not understand. This book of the movie, which we are gonna read during christmas break, is a book written sixty years ago talking about "the future" that has already passed for us. In the book, the author tries to picture what will it be like in the future and also made a lot of theories in it. In my opinion some of the technology is more advanced than the technology we have now. For example, the television for the family served as many purposes. And the television can also communicate with the audience and ask the audience questions. But other technology in the movie was less advanced then the technology we have now. Some differences in the movie from reality is that we don't burn books now, but on the other hand, we burn people's creativity and intelligence now. And like I said before, we don't have the talking television.
