There was also no war in the movie, which made it so that there was no bombing at the end so the city wasn’t destroyed. Faber also wasn’t in the movie, although he was a major character in the book because of his influence over Montag.

In Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, everyone is the same, they all live in their "boxes", and they all do the same things, such as watch ridiculous amounts of television, follow government orders without question, and overall be anti-education. In the Crucible, the boxes represent a different aspect of civilization--religion. The "boxes" that everyone lives in is the Puritan church, which everyone blindly follows.
