I understand what you're getting to, but I agree with the first answerer!.

But when it all comes down to it, directors should be more careful about things like that; and should stop trying to alter books from their original greatness to literature!.

If you looked closely at the paper, it was in cartoon form, not the written word!. They told the stories with pictures!. The movie is not too bad and does stay fairly true to the book!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

They burned books because books had ideas that the goverment didn't want the people to get in their heads!. A newspaper has information that the government puts in it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A newspaper is not dangerous when in the hands of a government!. A government can make it say anything conducive to its message!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
