| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: The 2018 adaptation adds some new characters, such as Raven, a vlogger who helps spread anti-book propaganda... played by one of the most successful female vloggers currently working. | |

Age Lift: Similarly to the 1966 film adaptation, Clarisse is seventeen in the book, but is portrayed by an adult actress here. This is in order to make her a love interest for Guy Montag, which has been regarded as a controversial issue with readers of the novel. | |

| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_4c6205c5 | comment |
New Technology Is Evil: In the trailer Beatty describes the "Internet of Old", implying it's banned. The movie goes and shows the new Internet is the most twisted version of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube that you could possibly expect from this kind of world. | |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke | |
| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_5ec15a79 | comment |
Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: The "book men" in this version have stolen a device that allows all of the information that comprises the collected books of the world to be encoded in genetic material, which they have injected into a bird. The reason they ask for Montag's help in this version is so he can deliver them a police-grade GPS tracker that will allow scientist members of the group over in Canada to find the bird once they let it go and it enmeshes with other birds that are migrating north. | |

Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Beatty refers to ages past as the time when people believed in gods. That said, the Bible is one of just three books exempted from the ban, though we still see no sign of religiosity by anyone. | |

Bait-and-Switch: The bookmen's base has a little autistic kid with a perfect memory of all books, standing in for the whole society having memorized all of the books in the original text. It's a good thing that Montag got his hands on that damned tracker, because once he returns after being declared a fugitive, it turns out that the Firemen got there before him and killed all humans inside, including the kid. | |

Un-person: The Firemen's new punishment (if people are not set on fire or taken for interrogation and execution, that is) is to erase a person's fingerprints by cauterizing, making it impossible for them to perform any transactions or access any networks. For this new society, this is A Fate Worse Than Death. | |

Political Overcorrectness | |

Political Overcorrectness: One of Beatty's rants implies that a rampant case of this after the Second Civil War is the reason why "graffiti" (books) was banned, for expressing ideas people didn't like (he cites racist terms in Huckleberry Finn as an example, which really has been frequently challenged or edited). | |

Irony | |
| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Beatty cites the debate on free will as an example of one with ideas that upset people, and thus argues they shouldn't hear multiple opinions at all. Mein Kampf is also one of the books he has burned after saying this, by a man whose own regime was big on censorship and book burnings. Doubtless both were entirely intentional. | |

Fallen Hero: Implied by Beatty, who despite being a fire chief in charge of book burnings is clearly very familiar with some, since we see him writing out quotes by heart when he's alone (most are very cynical, indicating he'd lost his former ideals). | |

| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_d41832cc | comment |
Written by the Winners: The regime has edited history to claim Benjamin Franklin started the Firemen, and thus even the Founding Fathers backed their book-burning work. Franklin did in fact start the first fire department of the then-Colonial America (Philadelphia's), though he would no doubt be appalled by this. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending | |
| Fahrenheit 451 (2018) / int_d73e0f7f | comment |
"Ray of Hope" Ending: More than the original text. Everybody that was a good guy in the original text is dead and Beatty still lives, free to continue to lead the Firemen on their oppressive crusade and there's no world war coming, so society will remain unchanged for a long time to come, if ever. But the bird that the book men have placed all of their hopes in was released by Montag with the tracker attached to it, and it is seen among other migrating birds, but the movie cuts without us finding out if it will actually be located by the resistance members over on Canada. Beatty said previously if it got out, there'd be no stopping it. | |

As such, they're all banned and destroyed, with only three spared-The Bible, To the Lighthouse, and Moby-Dick. They insist this is all for everyone's happiness. | |

Better yet, none. Ironically, he uses the debate on free will as an example of one with such upsetting opinions. | |

Cyberpunk: As a result of its Setting Update it showcases many things that are now considered standard of this trope, such as Advert-Overloaded Future. The fact that "the Nine" (the remade, censored Internet) looks like an endless fascist Twitter feed with its own version of the Amazon "Alexa" also makes it look like a very dark and twisted example of Solar Punk. | |
