[@angelcriswell428]

Summer reading check ✌️😩

[@pugsbunnyedits]

Same 😢 forced to watch this for very boring assignment

[@Chiezky]

@@pugsbunnyedits good lord 10 YEARS later theyre still using this video. What grade ya in bro?

[@Metaphysiz7]

I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to talk with him many years ago at his brother's home. He was a wonderful man and a great writer. R.I.P.

[@verifyinfieldpodcast]

my mom met him at a lecture in the 80s he did at the san juan capistrano library. i was at school that day, but i wouldn't have appreciated it then. i kick myself now for not ditching school to meet him

[@velvet_victor]

“Just me, the typewriter and the future”. What a genius!

[@thechaz83]

Policeman: What are you doing? Ray: Putting one foot in front of the other Haha!! Ray is the man!!!

[@TiaS1978]

I just finished this book and it was so wonderfully written. Ray Bradbury has such a way with words, he puts words together and they flow so beautifully. He was a phenomenal author!

[@rhizacadag1102]

Agree!!!

[@LikeMike1234100]

i don't think that there is a greater irony of a Fahrenheit 451 movie.

[@mitulsharma2k2]

This book has forever changed my view on society and the nature of humanity. Thank you to Bradbury for writing a book with so much heart and soul. I am truly moved.

[@katamishi]

RIP my favorite writer, may you rest in peace dear SIR, your stories will live forever with us all.

[@RFranklinCarter]

Ray Bradbury is my hero.

[@kalebind1]

said humankind with moist cheeks.

[@wurlybird9]

Montag is German for "Monday" it represents a new beginning.

[@taurus1269]

One of my favorite authors talking about my favorite book. I read this book on my bus rides to and from work a few years back. Thanks for posting.

[@xExMachinax]

This just makes me love the book even more... RIP Mr. Bradbury.

[@DanismyName]

I absolutely love this book and Bradbury is freaking awesome. RIP Bradbury.

[@schnabeltiertv]

Imagine a time where you had to make several phonecalls just to find out the temperature paper burns at, instead of a 10 second google search.

[@everettsage2326]

I like that he entwined his life experience and emotions into his book

[@diaryofliz]

Outstanding book. I read it when I was 10 years old.

[@Mad_S]

This man was the most influential person on my adolescent brain. I read through a number of his books in junior high whilst ingoring my homework.

[@everettsage2326]

It's so cool to hear that his imagination and subconscious had his back and that he trusted that he knew what he was talking about

[@steveheinitz7526]

What a Great Author & Fantastic Person!! Very inspirational!!

[@frankkolton1780]

He was a great observer of people and of human nature. My favorite line of his is, "People ask me to predict the future when all I want to do is prevent it".

[@ashsmum89]

As soon as I'm done with my classes. I want to read this. I am not a SciFi reader, but will get a copy of this book.

[@rh1507]

The one book from when I was a kid in High School, Oh around 20 or so years ago that was when I first read Fahrenheit 451. That was the one first book that sent me down the paths of reading all of the Bradbury books I could find at the library and then on to other wonderful authors. If only the skill and passion of reading would catch flame among the masses again. Steer them from the idiot box aka television minds would grow than shrink down the hole Hollywood provides.

[@Grace17524]

This is my favorite book😊 just finished it in class. Brilliant

[@imaplathite]

One of my all-time favorite interviews! Thanks for uploading... shared :)

[@Emily-nx4nn]

Anyone else watching this for school...

[@Emily-nz1hr]

yep

[@pugsbunnyedits]

Unfortunately

[@itchycroe411]

i regret that i didnt read this book sooner.

[@demomiumgaming]

my favourite bit of the book was when Guy said "its fahrenheiting time" and 451'd clarisse

[@sarahsonnabend8558]

The fact that he finished the book in nine days is astounding.

[@18dami07]

Fahrenheit 451 is one of the best books I have read.

[@frithar]

Waiting to hug you in Heaven some day, Uncle Ray...

[@TaylorHunt]

Respect to one of the very best. RIP Mr. Bradbury.

[@JohnDoe-bp5js]

For all of you lhss students who are supposed to be watching this yo

[@everettsage2326]

That's such an amazing feat, writing a short-story a week! This is truly such a cool guy

[@enerji-]

aye whos watching this for their summer work? xD LULULLULULUL

[@soulstice99]

very interesting, thanks

[@jhart4298]

So that’s where the term dime novel comes from.... Crazy. I love him telling the story. “I took a bag of dimes in and rented the type writer for 9 days.”

[@stuartcarr3023]

You can't do that today

[@uvbe]

@@stuartcarr3023 You can't do that but you can go to the library and use the computers to write for free, no dimes required. At least in Europe, idk about the US.

[@zorngottes1778]

I share this experience of doing things from my instinct. The deeper sense comes out afterwards.

[@connorburks]

riveting interview

[@SuperPwnage321]

RIP, truly a hero.

[@BushCampingTools]

Brilliant writer!

[@samuelseremai492]

We just start reading it in one of my college class

[@telsha8376]

Im reading it in my Pre-Ap 8th grade La class. :)

[@SeerOfTime577]

I would’ve loved to meet him...

[@qooooe]

He wrote that book in less than 10 hours, without stopping. Damn

[@stevend.bennett427]

10 days, not hours, the first story about 15,000 words. He expanded it later.

[@danjelsboiiiiiii]

And now we look back on this 7 years later..

[@sirtinycreep]

He's still alive at 92. Incredible.

[@paulfitzpatrick954]

Very astute dude

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Nice little vid.

[@diegoorlandi]

does the logo of the firemen in the movie have anything to do with the italian company Agip? or is that a coincidence?

[@oplodnovaky]

Dear all, does anyone know where I can fing license/ rights for this video? Please, help. It´s for exhibition in Czech Republic. Thanks. Bara

[@scattjax3908]

Try Universal Studios.

[@daedala1]

Ray Bradbury is on my wavelength....if there is a God 'vote' I would choose him. !

[@LexingtonB09]

such an imagination. love it

[@armstrongliberato6419]

That is a revelation story inspired by God for this man to us

[@FlowerCarnival2021]

So....who was gonna tell me Fahrenheit 451 was first released in playboy.

[@bronwynbaybay]

does anyone have the citation for this? need it for class

[@barrydouglasbutler8794]

It’s a novel, bought in paper form from most Countries now on the planet translated into all known languages, and by special permission upon his death, and agreement with his publishers forever... forever on electronic e-book form from His Publishers and always available as an electronic book - the first of it’s kind agreement in publishing Ever - and upon Ray Bradbury’s specifically noted terms, there must always be a Fahrenheit 451 available Forever in the nearest Library in Paper Back or Hard Cover form, on Paper .

[@moscowdream]

RIP. Best sci fi writer.

[@jaxonbuscher4697]

i wonder who is watching this that isn't doing a school project...

[@genius_miyuki]

Yes. having "Being real" has a power of FENGSUI (風水). We should choose books what a good dreams or bad dreams.

[@thorgak]

RIP, Mr.Bradbury.

[@Uniblab9000]

This was directed by Laurent Bouzereau, not Francois Truffaut.

[@petermills542]

Unilab. No. Francois Truffaut. 1966

[@ebrahimhabib8037]

Uniblab Francois treafu direct the movie and it was British production

[@davidbailey7056]

[@alysdavies8542]

Any idea who is interviewing him?

Who is here for class in 2021?

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

Wish I could live in a $30 apartment with a wife and no money in Venice CA.

[@1943ofour]

Powell library?

[@michaelbowie3269]

How did Montag learn to read?

[@markh9875]

In the novel, everyone knows how to read - Mildred reads her script, for example. But there are no extended texts.

[@mar8014]

Faber and Castel is a company

[@datsatisfaction1599]

An amazing story line! It stopped me from cutting,smoking,drinking and killing innocent puppy's.

[@datsatisfaction1599]

7.5/10 - Not enough killing.

[@con5930]

Puppys* no apostrophe. :)

[@rileyplaysguitar]

+SecretSpyLlama Puppys is not a word. Puppies* is the correct plural form of puppy.

[@noahstutterin]

The innocent puppy's what? In which order did you do those things to the innocent puppy's [unknown thing]?

[@minghaosmullet2127]

Who is a student here in 2021?

[@brianfreeman9584]

$30 a month apartment. Today you will be lucky to find a $1500 a month apartment.

[@seankelley5670]

For all the Students watching this for school. Whats up. 😈😈😛

[@psynema]

$400 - damn he got ripped off.

[@Glanur2]

Yes, probably I would, but I was lucky with the teachers.

[@Skylarchase27]

I did not understand the movie

[@bluebreaststrokebabe]

I mean the ending was good, but the beginning was super confusing

[@mutatednut]

9 days? WTF

[@katamishi]

Messed, yes, messed up, yes, what will you do, troll more..

[@ItsBrynnDiamonds]

how is he a chauvinist?? He simply said, " She got pregnant." get the hell over yourself.

[@Glanur2]

I don't think so. I really like the book. We had to read a pile of shit in school, but Fahrenheit 451 was the only one I liked; because of the metaphors.

[@SasquachX]

yes?no?maybe so? r we done so u can stop argueing a pointless arguement?(and by the way my friend wrote that not me, but i didnt care so i let him post it)

[@starrbeatlesqueen]

Nitpick: Ray Bradbury said the wrong date about his ancestor. The Salem witch trials happened in 1692 and his ancestor wasn't even alive in 1580.

[@dudeover]

Ставь лайк, если из 8 'г'.

[@abandonedchannel8981]

Lol: wrote it in 9 days

[@jsummerspear]

For everyone in ihpch H.S Sup

[@SasquachX]

ooookkkk.....sorry i hurt ur feelings?

[@SasquachX]

ooookkkk......jus MY opinion

[@wiisalute]

I started reading this book recently. weird book, still not done with it yet. I can't imagine a society where firemen burn books for a living.

[@shigsho]

He would have loved the new version. Books are ALWAYS changed too make films. He would have LOVED the new version. It is about government control.

[@fdre3wsd]

lol the Hefner story, ok then.

[@squiddie96]

It was terrible, the book is much better

[@katamishi]

You will not if you stop making yourself interesting, and lay off caps.

[@SasquachX]

huh?????? dats still kinda uf messed tellin me to kill my self, im not japanese

[@stevend.bennett427]

Love Ray's short stories, but like Harlan Ellison, the longer the work the weaker it is. 451 was never a favorite.

[@SasquachX]

My teacher pissed off because no one checked out a book through out the whole year out of his class and did a book talk, but if u had him u would hate books too
