THE BIG READ - Farenheit 451
Where: Beverly Arts Center
Date: 2007-11-01 09:00:00
Type:
2 Screenings: 9am - Special Guests, Bill Savage of Northwestern University 7pm - Special Guests, Sam Weller of Columbia College Not Rated RT: 1 Hour, 53 Minutes In a dark futuristic world, literature, reading, and independent thought have been outlawed. The government has gone so far as to employ a special league of firemen to burn all books on sight. But when one otherwise obedient fireman (Oskar Werner) meets an intriguing revolutionary (Julie Christie), she provokes him to question the legitimacy of his actions. Tensions mount when he blatantly transgresses the very laws he's employed to enforce, and his terrified wife becomes an informant. Because the subject of censorship seems to be perpetually contemporary, one can argue that the significant social impact of FAHRENHEIT 451 will forever be current. François Truffaut's film is based on the best-selling novel by Ray Bradbury.

The Starting Line comes from Churchville, PA, and as young as some of its members are (the lead singer recently turned 17), the group has managed to pave its way, starting an EP, 'With Hopes of Starting Over,' in 2001 for Drive-Thru and a spot on the 2002 Vans Warped Tour. With influences such as Jimmy Eat World and The Get Up Kids, The Starting Line has a genuine love, talent and dedication for music with endless possibilities.
