fahrenheit-451- BOOKS has life

Director François Truffaut, a magic name among series movie buffs,I become a huge fan of him after i watched his movie “400 Blows”.Truffaut was one of the French New wave filmmaker.Fewdays back i have seen his movie “Fahrenheit 451″.The story based on BOOKS.Protagonist Montag is working in Fire station.His job is to burn Books.They go places whenever they sniff there is books.They search it and take them out and burn them.Truffaut’s imagination makes this movie interesting to watch.

A lengthy scence in that film goes like this..

Montag is on the way to home after his work finished, An young lady walks with him and started asking questions,

Lady : Tell me,why do you burn books?

What?

Well, it’s a job like any other.Good work with lots of variety.Monday, we burn Miller; Tuesday,Tolstoy; Wednesday, Walt Whitman;Friday, Faulkner; and Saturday and Sunday, Schopenhauer and Sartre.”We burn them to ashes and then burn the ashes.”That’s our official motto.

Lady : You don’t like books then?

- Do you like the rain?
- Yes, I adore it.

Books are just so much… rubbish. They have no interest.

Lady : Then why do some people still read them although it’s so dangerous?

Precisely because it is forbidden.

Lady : Why is it forbidden?

Because it makes people unhappy.

Lady : Do you really believe that?

Oh, yes. Books disturb people.

They make them antisocial.

Lady : Do you think I’m antisocial?

Why do you ask?

Lady : Well…I’m a teacher.Well, not quite.I’m still on probation.

The conversation goes like this….
