The film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 is shit.

at times the acting feels as if it is the forerunner to the infamous film by Tommy Wiseau - ‘The Room’. but most of all it bastardises the plot to such an extent that the sentiment that was key in the novelette totally dissipates. the whole concept that Bradbury tries to convey about how modern technology could drive us apart and away from our nature is non-existent and some of the most poignant scenes are disfigured in a way that they lose their strength or are lost completely. 
I think I will just pretend I never saw it.
