On a film that burns at Fahrenheit 451
| Resumo: | Based upon the novel by Ray Bradbury, the film Fahrenheit 451, by François Truffaut, builds itself around a strong image: the burning of books. The purpose of this paper is to expose the ways in which the latent horror in the film’s flames traces back to the book burnings that have happened throughout our History. In order to do so, the reflections of Siegfried Kracauer on cinema and the “flow of life” are sought, as well as the notion of decline of experience in the writings of Walter Benjamin. |
