Despite it being the most confusing and hard to understand movie that I’ve ever seen, I like the idea of it. All of these characters that are connected with other in different times. I experienced many different emotions while watching it. Adam Ewing’s storyline felt like I was watching a slavery film. He was the good guy and ended up befriending a slave while Dr. Goose was the bad guy trying to kill him and his father-in-law was another bad guy who was a racist and worked in the slave trade. Robert Frobisher’s storyline for me was quite sad as we had seen his fate at the very beginning of the movie. Luisa Rey’s storyline for me was very intriguing. Her story involved investigating and solving a mystery, which made me feel as though I was watching police show on television. Timothy Cavendish’s storyline for me was extremely funny. That really is all there is to say about it. …show more content…
Her story is an example of a statist dystopia. A statist dystopia is where the government in the society has gotten to the point where it controls everything and takes away individual freedoms. In Sonmi-451’s case (as well as all of the other fabricants), they were not allowed to think for themselves and had no freedom. They lived in a dehumanized state. Zachry’s story set in a post-apocalyptic world is also another one of the textbook examples of dystopia. His story is an example of a post-apocalyptic dystopia. A post-apocalyptic dystopia is the aftermath of some horrible event. Watching the movie I was not really sure what caused the apocalypse (or if they even told us what happened) but it is truly a dystopia. My theory is that something to do with the aftermath of Sonmi-451’s story caused the horrible aftermath that we see in this story. This story in the movie confused me the most, but I could still identify the dystopian characteristics in
To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.
In Fahrenheit 451, The Hearth and the Sledgehammer, Ray Bradbury writes of a fireman, Guy Montag, who is the fireman in charge of burning books. He wears a helmet with the numbers 451 engraved in it, which represents the temperature at which paper burns. His uniform, black with with a sledgehammer on the arm, which seems to really attract the ladies. After suspecting an abiding near by he decides to meet up with his new neighbor, Clarisse, instantaneously she becomes greatly intoxicated by the fact that he is a fireman and feels a slight attraction toward him. Clarisse's constant “flirting” with Montag causes him to slightly feel attracted to her. After meeting with his new neighbor Montag returns home only to find his wife, Mildred, doing exactly what she had been doing for the past two years, listening to the radio with her earphones.
Bradbury's novel, physicist 451, was written at the onset of the fifties as a decision to the yankee folks to replicate on however the dominant social values of their times were effecting each the lives of individual Americans and their government. physicist 451 attacks utopian government and focuses on society's foolishness of forever being correctness. (Mogen 113). in step with Mogen, physicist 451 depicts a world during which the ambition has become a nightmare as a result of it's been superficially understood. (Mogen 107) so as to grasp Bradley's social critique, it's essential to comprehend that he wrote physicist 451 within the wake of war II and therefore the time period of the conflict, in an exceedingly political climate that was more and more affirmative security over the civil liberties of people (Mogen 124, 114).
It’s a fascinating time-period for a TV series and makes for a solid hook. The premise of the show centers on the professional and personal lives of the main characters, who are mainly in the district attorney’s office, or with the police department, as well as characters involved in the Black Panther Party. The goal is clear and the stakes feel defined. The tone is dramatic.
“The woman reached out with contempt to them all, and struck the kitchen match against the railing” (37). Montag and the other firemen report to a house that is suspected of harboring books. They are correct, and they find books in the attic of the home. The books belong to an old woman whose name is unknown to the readers, and she was devastated that the firemen were destroying her home and books. Ultimately she kills herself by setting fire to herself, her home, and the books. The very property and books in question that were about to be burned by Captain Beatty. She felt that books were so important in her life that she could not go on without them. Some people would feel that things to die for, like freedom, liberty, and their family would be more important, but this woman chose her books. It seems very clear to me that Ray Bradbury seems to be telling us, the readers, that there are things in life
“You know I’m not afraid of you at all…So many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean. But
Sandy Hook Elementary School. San Bernardino. Paris. What do all of these places have in common? They fell victim to unpredictability. Mass shootings are not new to our society, but they are still a devastating problem that should not exist any longer. Mass shootings connect to the novel, Fahrenheit 451, through both the unnecessary violence and the absence of humanity that are evident in the novel. Mass shootings are a devastating problem in our society, and now their numbers have escalated to a new level. This change reflects how both our society and our humanity is beginning to crumble, solutions like banning unnecessary and excessive fire arms are currently being enacted.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a novel that illustrates what could happen to our society in the future. The novel portrays a society in which books, excluding comic books and other simple technical books, are banned and burned for the good of the society as the people believed. The books are seen as a source of unhappiness and, therefore, the society has decided to Ban them and put the fireman in charge of maintaining the censorships. I believe that books are not only banned because they make people unhappy but because they make people unequal. I believe that censorship of books is indented to make everyone in the society equal.
Fahrenheit 451 portrays a society in which the government has taken over the citizens. The society described could become ours. However, there are some key aspects that are different. The people in the novel lack human emotions. They can feel some extreme emotions but cannot identify them. Also, there is a total absence of individuality within the community. Throughout the novel, haunting images are described to display the evils of such a society.
I really like the movie and the story was very different than any other movies. Sherman’s way of writing the stories seems very unique and could not tell what would happen next in the movie. When Victor knew about his father’s death I was thinking he would not go to Phoenix to get his remains since he had hatred towards him but he decides to go which was surprising. It was always funny how Thomas kept telling stories about different stuffs to Victor even though he knew Victor don’t like to hear them. The author has tried to show the culture of Indians, the thoughts of people, how they dealt their life through his stories which I really found interesting and something different to learn. The author has showed how life was back then and I liked the fact he tried to show what impact it can have to a child’s mind if he sees his father drinking alcohol and tormenting his mother
Sonmi~451 discloses the pits of exploitation within Neo So Corpos. Moreover, she comprehends the truth behind the disguise of their society. She breaks free slavery. The unconcealed disregard for life of the corporations of Neo So Corpos arouses Sonmi-451 to write her own Catechisms which she calls Declarations. The content of her Declarations are never specified in the text but their overall theme of the promotion of fabricant rights does not sit well with the authorizes of Neo So Corpos and Sonmi-451 is arrested and sentenced to die. Her message is broadcast to millions of viewers or as she terms them “potential successors” who may one day take up the true abolitionist cause and free the
Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you
Some people are ignorant against their will, others know better. In the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, society has lost all sense of uniqueness and independence. Most people in the world of Fahrenheit 451 have conformed to their society because of the fear that taunts them. Those who are in charge, enforce the rules through perpetuating ideals using technology, the burning of books, and creating fear.
In the movie I watched called "451" the society was very homogenized. No books were aloud to be seen or read to and from people. If caught reading or containment of a book the punishment would have each and every book burn right down to an ash.it was very hard to hide books because soldiers had been trained well to find them. A small secret group of people did not physically have the books in there hands. But instead of the group having books they learned to memorize them and pass it down to the next generation to come.
The classical novel Fahrenheit 451 has many elements that make it a dystopian novel. First off the meaning of the word dystopian is when something is set to go right but ends up going terribly wrong. The society that the main
