Knowledge is a dangerous thing
科幻大师雷·布拉德伯雷的经典小说《华氏451》(Fahrenheit 451)将被HBO拍成电视电影，这不是该书第一次拍电影了，这次是一个当代美国的改编版。迈克尔·B·乔丹和迈克尔·珊农主演，故事设定在一个不允许人有自由思想的独裁世界，统治者焚烧一切图书，消防员的工作 也并非灭火，而是焚书。华氏451度就是纸的燃点(当然这个数字只是一个典故)。 乔丹饰男主Montag，一个年轻的消防员，和很多反乌托邦小说的主人公一样，本来麻木愚昧的他经历了“觉醒”，并因此与曾经的导师——消防队队长比蒂(珊农饰)反目。该片由拉敏·巴哈尼(《99个家》《推手推车的男人》)导演，他和阿米尔·纳德瑞一起写剧本。
"Fahrenheit 451," the 2018 HBO Films and Noruz Films production, offers a chilling reinterpretation of Ray Bradbury's classic dystopian novel. Directed by Ramin Bahrani and set in a future where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found, the film delves deep into themes of censorship, control, and the power of knowledge. Michael B. Jordan stars as Guy Montag, a fireman who begins to question the oppressive regime he serves, while Michael Shannon delivers a compelling performance as his mentor, Captain Beatty. The film's sleek visuals and intense pacing create an atmosphere of tension and urgency, reflecting the societal unrest at its core. In this adaptation, Bahrani introduces new elements to the narrative, such as the concept of "digital darkness," where citizens are encouraged to report others for reading or possessing books. This modern twist adds a layer of relevance to the story, drawing parallels to contemporary issues of surveillance and digital privacy. The film also explores the role of media in shaping public opinion, with omnipresent screens broadcasting government propaganda and entertainment that distracts the populace from the truth. The performances in "Fahrenheit 451" are a highlight, with Jordan's Montag undergoing a profound transformation from a loyal enforcer to a rebellious seeker of truth. His chemistry with Sofia Boutella, who plays Clarisse, the woman who sparks his awakening, adds emotional depth to the film. Shannon's portrayal of Beatty is equally captivating, embodying the contradictions of a man who both enforces and secretly cherishes the literature he burns. The supporting cast, including Lilly Singh and Martin Donovan, further enriches the film's exploration of a society on the brink of collapse. Overall, "Fahrenheit 451" (2018) is a thought-provoking adaptation that successfully translates Bradbury's timeless themes into a modern context. While it may not satisfy purists of the original novel, the film stands on its own as a powerful commentary on the dangers of censorship and the importance of preserving knowledge. Its haunting visuals and strong performances make it a compelling watch for anyone interested in dystopian narratives and the ongoing battle for intellectual freedom.
