Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

I thought I should watch a little bit of François Truffaut. I'd started reading Ray Bradbury's book a few years back but had stopped reading it in the middle of my moving to Stanford. Though its never been the case that i've been happy with a movie after reading the book, I thought I'd anyway see this Truffaut movie. I'm sure the book would have made more effective the thoughts that Ray wanted to put across, but Truffaut didnt make a bad job of it at all.
Bradbury has said that Truffaut "captured the soul and essence of the book," although he disliked the double omission of Faber and the Mechanical Hound.
I had a decent time finishing the book through this movie :-)
