coolguy44: Fahrenheit is garbage — Subium • Bluesky web client

The extent to which George Orwell would have hated Elon Musk can not possibly be overstated.

And it would not have been subtle! Dude made Stalin a pig to make a point!

…isn’t that Animal Farm, not 1984? I get them confused, because neither are as good as Brave New World

As a fan of all three… Fahrenheit 451 owns.

Fahrenheit is garbage

I can’t argue about a book I haven’t read in its entirety, but I can say I didn’t make it past the ten minute mark in that latest movie adaptation. It was like they were trying to frame the book through a Scientologist lens or something; it was so insanely boring that I just turned it off

The major problem with Fahrenheit 451 and its adaptations is that it only looks like it's about censorship when it's actually about Bradbury thinking that television and movies are innately dangerous media.

Hmm. I never got that from the book. But it’s an interesting take.

From the man himself: www.openculture.com/2017/08/ray-... I mean, death of the author and all that - he can be wrong about his own book.

Yes, it’s clear that people chose to burn their own books because they preferred TV. The old destroyed for the new with no regard for its value.

I haven’t seen the movie but the book is great. To be fair, I haven’t read it in a while but I’ve it a couple times in my life and it hits different each time. There’s a lot going on it.

Hypodermic needle toothed robotic dogs would disagree. Lol
