Fahrenheit 451 & Equilibrium: When Society Fears Knowledge | DYSTOPIA Pt 3

This week, we’re diving into the dystopian worlds of Fahrenheit 451 (1966) and Equilibrium (2002). We’ll be talking about the chilling practice of book burning, the stylised martial art of Gun-Fu, and the memorable baddies that populate these oppressive futures. In Fahrenheit 451, we explore a world where knowledge is feared and books are destroyed to suppress free thought. Then, we’ll jump into Equilibrium, where emotions are outlawed, and rebellion is met with high-octane Gun-Fu action. Join us as we explore how these films depict the fight against control and the struggle to preserve what makes us human. Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
