There were numerous differences between the Fahrenheit 451 book and movie. The first and obvious one is that there is no woman named Mildred in the movie version. In the movie, Montag's wife is called Linda, which is different from the book. Another difference is that Montag first is introduced to Clarisse by Bradbury on the street, not on the subway as shown in the movie. A difference that has minuscule affect on the plot, but still noticeable enough for it to catch my attention.
The third difference I noticed, was the fact that "Mildred" only had two friends over to socialize, while "Linda" had three friends over. I wasn't aware of this difference until someone sitting near me asked if there were two or three friends in the book. I told

In the book, there is a man named Fabre, who is a book lover and a wise man. Montag befriends him, and Fabre gives him a little earpiece so the two can communicate. In the movie, there is no mention of any character called Fabre, and Montag wears no earpiece throughout the film. In addition, Fabre was also the one to tell Montag about the book people, and the one to tell him to go to the train station and trek down to the river. Also, Montag kills Captain Beatty after meeting Fabre, which obviously does not happen in the movie, because there is no Fabre to …show more content…
I noticed more differences within the movie, but neglected to take note on them, mostly because I feel like it would just be too much substance and take too long to read. In the book, there is a deadly mechanical hound that goes around hunting for enemies of the state. It chases after Montag after he kills the Captain, and incapacitates him for a while. There was no such hound in the movie, and Montag is able to escape the scene of the murder not physically harmed.
I thought for some time whether or not to type a paragraph for this last difference, because I was thinking there would not be many sentences in it. The last main difference, is that in the book, "Montag" is killed by a mechanical hound chasing him down, but since there were no mechanical hounds in the movie, that is not how it went down. In the movie, there is a helicopter chasing him down with a turret mounted on it. The men in the helicopter successfully kill "Montag", and a crime against society is
Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.
Thomas Paine once said, “Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness.” In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Montag, the protagonist, works as a fireman. Throughout the novel, he begins to discover his true self. In this utopian society, people are conceited and have little or no emotions. Similarly, many in our society are self-centered and have limited feelings. Even though both societies have numerous characteristics in common, the two societies have multiple differences.
Like I said before, there are major differences between these two. Some are very visible; the names of the characters. There are others that even though are minor, they are completely unnecessary. This minor differences are small details that we remember from the book, and we were expecting to
To begin with the first difference between the movie and the novel is poor character development, and how the character are shown differently in both the novel and the movie. When Gene goes to Leper’s home town, he finds him shell shocked. When Gene gets the telegram letter and goes to
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
The movie Fahrenheit 451 was originally made from the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, with both the movie and the book having their similarities and differences from each other. scenes, and a few key parts from the book were not included in the movie. They also changed some of the names or simply didn’t include them in the movie. Some of those characters were left out such as one of the larger characters Faber. In the book Faber plays an elderly retired English professor that used to worked for the last collage in existence, Faber helped to teach the main character, Montag, about the world of literature. By leaving out Faber, They cut out a couple important scenes from the book. Scenes such as when Montag escaped to his house after murdering Captain Beatty, discovering and learning the where the book people where located and
A minor difference between the movie and the book was concerning the scene about Sir Henry going to the moor. In the book he was pretty upset that people were trying to keep him from going there, but in the movie he showed the least bit of emotion. This was not a major impact on the story but it definitely added character to Sir Henry. In the movie Sir Henry was somewhat timid and in the book that scene showed he was not afraid to stand up for himself.
In a dystopian society, everything may seem fine and normal, but underneath all that is an unstable society that may crumble with the right spark. Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury are two characters who have to face the dystopian world and the nature of humankind. Although, a quest is actually depicted in both, as the characters undertake similar journeys of self-knowledge. In Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the dystopian traits where the boys are deserted on a sterile island show that they are slowly turning into savages and plotting against one another due to the destructive society that they are in. Meanwhile,
The differences in Luhrmann's movie are very evident. The movie uses guns instead of swords. This differs from the book because it alters the fighting style and the way people are killed. For
“Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man 's freedom.”
The movie and the novel Fahrenheit 451 are similar in the fact that Montag is a firemen, there was a woman with the match, and finally Beatty and Montag's house get burned. They are also different because there is no mechanical hound, Faber, or the bomb that wipes out the city. The movie and the novel Fahrenheit 451 are similar and different in many ways. The movie and the book Fahrenheit 451 have many ways they are similar.
When watching the film, the first difference the viewer can see between the book and the movie is how the characters are portrayed. A notable example would be Carlson. In the film,
All through both storylines there are similarities and differences including; the use of technology, andrefrences to other stories. Both of these dystopian worlds use technology in very similar ways. They brainwash those, who are clueless enough to let them, into believing whatever the government says. In Fahrenheit 451 they use wall TV’s and
Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses. Another main character is Charles-Walace and in the book he is five, doesn't go to school, and can't read, but in the movie he is six go's to school, and can read well. These are the differences
