I watched a long movie about the gov banning books... Anyone know the name?

Question

I watched it back in school in my psychology class. All I remember is that it was a much older movie (1960?) and very long. The government banned books and it was just a weird movie. I want to say the title was somethin "Red 17" something like that... I think I maybe way off though... Thanks everyone for your help, I have been thinking about this for a long time now.

Answer 2

I'm sure it's Fahrenheit 451

The movie was made in 1966 -

This is the plot summary imdb gives:

"Based on the 1951 Ray Bradbury novel of the same name. Guy Montag is a firefighter who lives in a lonely, isolated society where books have been outlawed by a government fearing an independent-thinking public. It is the duty of firefighters to burn any books on sight or said collections that have been reported by informants. People in this society including Montag's wife are drugged into compliancy and get their information from wall-length television screens. After Montag falls in love with book-hoarding Clarisse, he begins to read confiscated books. It is through this relationship that he begins to question the government's motives behind book-burning. Montag is soon found out, and he must decide whether to return to his job or run away knowing full well the consequences that he could face if captured."

Answer 3

Fahrenheit 451 was a film about this. It is a black and white film made around the 1960`s. It is about the governments` ` fire brigade` who have to go to the houses to burn the books etc.

Answer 4

They shouldn't ban something. Ever. there is no particular way for vampires to act. they're fictional creatures. Anne Rice and Bram Stoker might want to have began them out in literature as being darkish creatures, although the ingredient about writing fiction is that writers have a imaginative license. If i have the favor to make unicorns evil in my tale, i visit do this. Vampires have not in elementary words inebriated animal blood in Meyer's books. Anne Rice, a nicely popular vampire novelist, had Louis the vampire drink animal blood in Interview with the Vampire. in the adventure that they ever banned something only because it grew to develop into prevalent, there might want to be something heavily incorrect. i'm now unlikely to observe New Moon. i did not like the Twilight action picture. The actors were somewhat uninteresting and useless, i imagine.
