One of my favorite books when young.

Found the movie online.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Side note, many people have said "knowledge" is the apple, I think it is "judgeship, or claiming to be certain of what is right or wrong, since that leads to no thought on ones own actions, if it is justified by some doctrine outside of thought and feeling."

But that symbol is in there, as is the books being in many places.

1. Thanks. Nice link. . .

2. I think part of the movie was changed.

Where she is on the bus, and thinks 'do you ever read the books' then it jumps to a scene where he has a book and is reading.

That is to add concepts of 'psychic' into the movie, wasn't like that when I first saw the movie.



On a side note, the opening paragraph of the book he was reading is a comment about the crying angels.

3. Great metaphors in that film.

If a person is a book, and is a book after they are 'reported shot' what is it saying.

That the muse for all those great works are still with us. Some good, some bad, that is a bit obvious if you think of some of the writings inspired, but still an interesting thought.

It is actually a thought on concepts of the spiritual, in my view, and also about feeling, and what a 'book' is.

So going out to the 'hills' might not be separating from society.



Do you understand the comment, "Did you ever read any of those books before you burned them?" A really deep concept on judgment and empathy I think.



Anyways, it is a deep movie.
