F451 had the “Parlour”, a room in the house with full sized wall screens that were interactive so you could do things like act in plays with other people in their own house doing the same thing.
Basically, books were made illegal so that the government could control the narrative and change it whenever they wanted with no proof of it ever being changed.
It’s a good thing we don’t have 24/7 propaganda being shoved at us in reality…
I read both in school they just blur together 🙃 the old fahrenheit 451 movie was actually pretty goofy but I’m a super big fan of equilibrium with Christian Bale which is basically just fahrenheit 451. I kinda hated 1984 in comparison and found Julia to be really annoying.
The wall screens from fahrenheit 451 or whatever was not an aggressive enough prediction.

1984 by George Orwell.
Read the book, and read it to the hurtful ending.
Forget the movie.

That’s an odd way of spelling “poorly-crafted ripoff with pointless gun-fu action scenes crammed into it”, but OK.
Why can’t a person love both the book and the gun-fu ripoff?
It’s not as much of a cinematic masterpiece as the core, but pobody’s nerfect.
I think both F451 and 1984 had tvs that were listening to you and recording you, right?
