Fahrenheit 451 DVD

 My Review
This movie is a Statement about the direction the world is heading politically. It's a vision of YOUR future, where the news is altered to conform to Government standards of what people are allowed to know, and what they are led to believe to be true by the Government. In this movie's case, the reading of books is banned by the Government, because the rationale is, books make people unhappy with their lives. Instead of encouraging people to better themselves, the Government just bans books. Fahrenheit 451, by the way, is the temperature that books burn at, and the Fire Department has the job of finding peoples stashed books, and burning them. Every Collector should own this movie. Their Grandkids will be living this lifestyle.

 Extremely thought provoking!
Fahrenheit 451 is a provocative movie that should remind us of the many freedoms that Americans and other free societies in the world enjoy. People who hate republicans and American ideals will love this movie. They will claim that the U.S. government is the same individual rights trampling, over-zealous government depicted in the movie. It is great that people can buy this movie from hundreds of sources, including this Web site, in America!

 Ponder Carefully!
With the backdrop of the 9/11/01 attack, and in light of recent moves by our government to make our nation more secure, we must be vigilant in seeing that our core freedoms are not abridged. With the advent of military tribunals, expansion of phone tapping capabilities by law enforcement, revision of lawful detainment regulations, and increased paranoia/panic by the general public, the topic covered in Fahrenheit 451 is more relevant today than when the movie was made. The banning/burning of books may not be far behind the above mentioned changes--if we do not guard ourselves against over-zealous governmental regulators of freedom. Watch the movie, and be vigilant!

 Great transfer, no extras
I was thrilled to see a beautiful transfer of Fahrenheit 451, one of the best SF films of the '60s, I feel. But I was surprised that IMAGE, one of the better marketers of DVD, included no extras of any kind, not even a trailer. This is also the case for IMAGE's issues of Paramount Marx Bros. features, and more titles. Could this be a way to keep the costs of some titles down?
