Thirteen years later, the movie “Fahrenheit 451” was made in 1966. There are 3 major differences between the book and the film in my opinion.

Chris Hedges, a former war correspondent, has a memory overflowing with the horrors of many battlefields and the helplessness of those trapped within them. He applies this memory to write War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, where he tutors us in the misery of war. To accomplish this goal, Hedges uses impactful imagery, appeals to other dissidents of war and classic writers, and powerful exemplification. Throughout his book, Hedges batters the readers with painful and grotesque, often first-hand, imagery from wars around the globe. He begins the book with his experience in Sarajevo, 1995.

I didn’t mention the point of view used in the story, which was 3rd person omniscient, because the narrator explained Max’s actions and what was in his mind.
