Why does Montag want to read books? How does Montag know about Faber? What happens to Clarisse? Why does Mrs. Phelps cry when Montag reads aloud the poem? Why does Montag think Beatty wants to die? What is the Mechanical Hound? If I stormed into your home and burned all your books, you could just run out the back door and re-download them onto your phone and read them all again anyway, and you could really care less about a fireman.
Books remain important to the movie not only in their prolific volume which would make getting rid of them pretty difficult, even over decades of book burning but in what they represent. Say if Google or Facebook joined forces and there was not much of anything else left, then they could control and censor anything.
And suddenly physical things have a different power. That made the scenes involving physical books so much more important, like when Beatty asks Montag to hold a book, and Montag is amazed by just its feel and smell. It would be weird turning the pages, reading.
How did it feel in your hands? The weight of it, looking at the spine of a book, just all those little things. We want to be happy all the time. We want to be distracted all the time. Bradbury warned us about that. The biggest differences between the new film and the book appear to be with characters.
For starters, Montag's lazy and mundane-brained wife Mildred is nowhere to be found in the movie. And Clarisse, who is depicted as a curious teen in the book, is a grown up played by Sofia Boutella eel, or illegal citizen.
Similar to the book, it's Clarisse who sparks Montag's initial interest in books.
