"Can you think of a movie adaptation that was better than the book? Is the movie version of Fahrenheit 451 better than the book? Give specific examples to support your opinion."


The only movie I've ever seen that did the book justice or even did better were the Lord of the Rings adaptations, which cut out a lot of useless detail, yet still made the events epically significant, developed intense action scenes, and at the same time retained a very viable and complex plot line.

I love the book Farenheit 451, so it would be hard to best it with a movie, although the movie does a very good job of representing the feelings that swirl around in the characters. However, it doesn't give an accurate enough portrayal of the setting, partly due to the technology available to film makers at the time the movie was made. It also can't illustrate the plot the way Bradbury did with his writing style.
