Fahrenheit 451 1966 Antisocial Element

[@satiricwriter]

Theres something charming about older movies. The accents. The volcabulary being very sophisticated. The 60s style of films is just so fascinating. The cameras, the effects, the scripts and the acting.

Thank you for posting this excellent scene... quite prescient...

ONLY A FOOL CANNOT SEE THIS AS THE FUTURE WE ARE LIVING NOW ! I THOUGHT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE AS A CHILD .

[@michaelheu669]

Isn't it wild! When I used this in class, my students and I had a discussion on the similarities of now and what was depicted in this 1966 film.

Explain how it is the world today? Information today is as accessible as it has ever been in humanities history.

No. This is not the kind of future we are living in now (and thank GOD!!!). Don't get me wrong. I have a high respect for Ray Bradbury, perhaps (ironically) more than you. However, your very assertive liberal welcoming of spending tea time with Exaggeration has made you a bit zealous to submit to Exaggeration's say so on this and that and whatever. So get a better grip on yourself and please try harder to abstain from letting Exaggeration do your thinking for you. It'll make you out to be much less mindlessly idiotic than the shallow moron you were when typing in your grotesque thoughtlessly inane comment on this upload.

The book is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

It would appear all those books and films which we read or watched growing up were nothing more than predictive programming, ensuring that the idea was firmly placed in the back of our minds, so that when it was introduced for real we would silently accept, as so many have!

My goal was not to predict the future, but to avoid it... Ray Bradbury

This is the scene is a much watch, and predicts the future most chillingly. Montag wakes-up sees his wife and her friends have been turned into "zombies" by interactive Television and people are committing suicide because of the social isolation it has created.

[@jackoneil3933]

Today, it's all a bit too reminiscent of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is is not? I remember watching this when only 8 years old and it making perfect sense, and wondering if I would see this day in my lifetime

If written material was banned because it made people discontented, why were illustrated papers without words, allowed? Pictures tell stories as much as words do.

[@stephenconnolly1830]

Oral and written texts like the Qur'an and Bible etc are civilisation transforming in a way picture books can never be because images crystallise possible meaning as opposed to words and sounds which cultivate the imagination.
