Personally, I think that Ray Bradbury was so caught up in his novels that he became sort of insane. The interviews were so hard for me to watch because he was all over the place, talking about this and that.
He wanted to write a novel about how television was ruining people minds. He wanted to show that if TV kept developing, we would eventually not have any more books. He shows us that he feels this way, in the novel, by telling about Mildred's TV's being 'walls' and the actors & actresses being 'family members.' I don't think that you would understand his reasoning for F451 without reading/watching these interviews, therefore, no, I don't think he was accurate. He's a very hard person to understand, and I still find myself sitting here, dumbfounded about the reading and the author himself. He was so into his literature that he lost the reality of life, itself.

I agree with what you said about Bradbury. He is crazy and I could barely understand what he was saying in the interviews. Even though don't you think it takes a crazy person to come up with all of the crazy things?
ReplyDeleteI think your right. He makes little sence and seems that he lives in a fake world where "characters" are real and they talk to him. He is creative but also a little insane.
ReplyDeleteAbby! I ocmpletely agree with you when you said Bradbury was a little insane. He lived in his own world with really far-fetched ideas. However, I agree with Brendon when he said sometimes it takes a crazy person to come up with crazy things. He's a character all on his own!

Literature is life!!! Authors are what make up the new thoughts for us. Don't be afraid to let go of the logic and let your words be entirely passionate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brandis - he's definately a character all on his own, but sometimes, it seems like he went a little overboard and may have blown some things out of proportion? He also, puts off a little "geekiness" when you watch his first interview - I mean, being so interested in the future, comics, reading, novels, plays; yet such a hate for televsion - or technology for that matter. Brings up some interesting arguments...
