Excellent but underrated film
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
After watching this movie, I was prompted to read the book.The book is really, really good.
I cannot believe that the Bradbury estate would have given its blessing to such a poor interpretation of the book. The original movie wasn't perfect but it was far truer to the book than this. For a long time, I have noticed that screen writers are too lazy to read the books they base movies on or are too stupid to understand them.
Just like Ghost in the shell (2017), the filmmakers took all subtlety the book had and threw it out the window. The story is so surface level and obvious that it completely ruins the point of the book. Moreover, the story is butchered and hacked up to a point where its no longer recognizable. Clarice's role of opening Guy's eyes is completely offloaded on to Beatty, so when Guy does meet her, it feels out of no where. Also, the movie takes the story of the book and shove it all into the first 40 minutes of the movie, so when they realized they had another hour and ten to fill, they introduce this stupid plot about the "omnis" to pad for time. and finally, they blatantly rip off V for Vendetta with the scenes where Beatty is talking to the ministry. Overall, this movie is just a huge waste of an adaptation. don't really know what i expected though.
Best part was the beautiful flocks of birds at the end. Which had nothing to do with the original book or film.
