The Text vs. The Movie

While reading Fahrenheit 451, I couldn't help but to notice the very distinctive illustrations throughout the text of this graphic novel. The author, Ray Bradbury, uses fire as a reoccurring theme to embody the meaning of destroying and evil motivation. The book uses bland colors to represent people, places, and events; however, when dealing with fire he makes the reds, yellows and orange colors stand out and almost illuminate the page. The purpose for this is to set a goal for depicting the underlying background for this piece. The author wants to make the reader become familiar with the fire. He desires the reader to become less interested in the characters but more interested in the character's actions.
In contrast with the novel, the characters seem to play a greater role in the movie. While watching the movie, the characters make have to rely on their set personalities and the way they come across in the camera as the main illustration. This depiction of scenes allows the fire to become less important and the character's role and dialogue becoming the greater aspect. As far as color, the movie and the book use the same plain color scheme to illustrate the scenery.
