Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

Written by GenerationofSwine on November 8, 2023

So...what would happen if Fahrenheit 451 was made into a movie by the Cancel Culture crowd? You don't have to wonder, it's right here.

It's a movie about book burning... and CRT... so, you know, they want to say that when the right burns books it's bad, and whiteness, and evil... but some books still need to be burned, because if you don't burn them than people might get wrong think, and that is bad too.

And because of that, it never really finds its footing.

But it does succeed in taking a movie about censorship, inserting 1619 Project Revisionist History pro-censorship politics, and then making it completely and totally unwatchable.

And that might have been the intent. But I get the feeling that Jordan just threw up his arms in frustration, gave up, and decided to phone it in and get it done as fast as he could.
