Ray Bradbury not only cautions against censorship (the primary theme of Fahrenheit 451), but offers interesting commentary on who censors works at all, and why humans do it anyway.

Fahrenheit 451 is about many things. In Bradbury's younger days, just coming out of the McCarthy era, he said the book was about censorship and book burning. Later in life, he said it was about the dangers of easy entertainment. Let's analyze these viewpoints a little further.

Love that mention of Papers, Please. That game sparked a big discussion with my father's side of the family, who grew up in Communist Poland. I really wanted to know if the portrayal of Travel through a totalitarian regime was as oppressive as it's portrayed in Papers, Please. Unfortunately they didn't travel around the Iron Curtain much, but they did share stories of the terrible things the regime did. My grandfather, for example, was a political prisoner for six years. He only got out alive when Reagan took a bunch of Political prisoners as part of a deal with the USSR. That's how my father's family came to America. Actually there was a similar deal for Grandpa to go to Canada Alone, or for the whole family to go to Australia, but New York was closer and more familiar.

@SirSoliloquy 5 лет назад

I’m pretty sure there’s a quote in Fahrenheit 451 where one of the characters outright states that the TVs *could* have better programs, but they don’t. So I feel like you misinterpreted Bradbury’s point about easy-to-consume media. Keep in mind that this book was written in the 50s. There was barely anything challenging on TV back then. Bradbury went on to host a TV show of his own in an attempt to combat the dumbing down of media that he saw, so it’s clearly not the medium itself that he had a problem with.

@Crosis101 5 лет назад

SirSoliloquy well also he was confronting “reader’s digest” and “paper back” culture which we don’t have in the same way anymore. Paperback copies now a days are exact 1:1 of the hardback, in the time when this was written they could re-edit the book so they would be shorter or easier to read...

Referring back to what you were talking about with media, people often scoff at kid shows yet they can be so deep and teach lessons that you wouldn't get other places. One of my favorite shows, a TV7 cartoon, often shows the main character struggle with morality. Sometimes picking or wanting to pick the mean or wrong things. But often when she does it shows it as a bad thing. But it also shows her putting aside differences and being nice to people who were mean to her. Such as apologizing to her bully when she took her phone or apolozing and offering friendship to a girl who she humiliated because she jealous of her flirting with the guy she like. She tries to be nice to the mean girls. Most media shows people being hurting those who hurt them.

Can these three factors provide a better reason for evil actions than simply "they are evil"? Can any natural creature be evil?

Some years ago a young man, a petty criminal, turned terrorist and attacked a meeting of a carricature artist. He killed one man, not the intended target. Then he killed a guard at the local synagogue - and disappeared into the night. The media had non-stop coverage, reporters running around in the dark city and reporting rumours and smalltalk. I also watched - but with a weird deja-vue feeling. And then I rememebred the scene in 451 where Montag is hunted by "The Hound", a killer robot, and the tv-stations give the same coverage of that hunt. The young man was shot in the early morning.

I don't remember comics from my reading, nor do I remember porn. And the 'interactive' TV was the wife paying extra for the actors to say the wife's name during the show (like the hundreds of others with her name) and her saying a line when they looked at the camera and a light flashed. And Montag calling her out on barely having a clue on what the characters were even supposed to be to each other, or what their motives or goals were supposed to be. The Family being a shallow soap opera.

Now that same channel has jokes that honestly are inappropriate even for their intended age group. And their adult swim has always been ugly brain dead trash with the odd exception, though usually those come from other stations. Like King of the Hill, which originated from Fox. So... yeah. We really don't have to look far for examples of that going on today. I blame corporate greed's Quantity over Quality approach.
