This looks like it’s going to be good! Farenheit 451 is the story of where we may be heading if we’re not careful. In the world we live in today where “alternative facts” is a thing that is not only unchallenged or questioned, but openly accepted by some, the only thing stopping a person or people from creating their own reality is history. If you can stop people from knowing our history, you can make your alternative facts into truth. One of the ways we secure that history will always be remembered is through books. But what would happen if we erased history by burning all of the books in the world? Would a new generation ever know what happened in these days? Or would the memory of what we live today be wiped from history forever? That is where the 1953 Ray Bradbury novel went, and that is where I expect HBO’s remake of Fahrenheit 451 to go at today. Fahrenheit 451 stars Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, and premieres on HBO Saturday May 19th at 8pm. Check out the trailer below:
