With Bernard Herrmann’s score and the snowfall, it makes for the most beautiful, yet heartbreaking ending. Ray Bradbury said he cried everytime he watched the ending of this film.
Exactly. That scene and beautiful yet oh-so-poignant music by the great Bernard Herrmann makes me cry everytime, too... Such a brilliant film & score. Everyone, especially nowadays, should see this film.
Me too. Along with the ending to Merry Christmas Mr lawrence and The Railway Children... But the guy who made this youtube video cut the lovely scene when the boy is learning from the old man. Unforgivable.
The book by Ray Bradbury ends with a dark and complex glimpse into the future. In contrast, the film directed by Francois Truffaut offers an uncomplicated and more optimistic conclusion. As a matter of fact, the final scene with the Book People reciting their chosen books was filmed during a rare and unexpected snowstorm that occurred. In any case, I suppose the movie's ending had much more to do with financial decisions rather than dramatic license.@@arkdelacapablanca7114
My personal connection to this film is the small part played by my sister. In this clip, she is sitting at the table and is the last person to walk through the final frame.
It is much impressive how happily those "book people" identify themselves with book stories. In contrast, the city citizens in Fahrenheit 451 reject to be moved by any stories because they are exhausted with huge flow of information. This contrast shows that how the energy of stories can save people, even with a single book story, although information can exhaust people, even with its huge amount.
We're a minority of undesirables crying out in the wilderness. It won't always be so; one day we shall be called on one by one to recite what we have learned! Always felt this a beautiful statement.
This is why I will always hold the stories I read in my heart for all time. Even if I am to grow old and the books are burned to the ground, I will always keep them with me to tell others of their beauty and importance.
One of the first 'foreign' films I ever saw as a teenager, because I had a crush on Julie Christie. People quite rightly talk of Orwell and Huxley but Bradbury is equally important in the times we find ourselves. One of the most beautiful and moving sequences in all cinema.
I dunno why but i enjoy watching this scene the most. I guess its like the trope "protagonist finds others like him/herself in a peaceful utopia away from opressive society."
@Jarred Knox As Solzhenitsyn said: "The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world." We can and do resist and this dark age upon us will pass
a book that was written for books. every human being is an alive book! wow! that s a beauty of a story! you cannot destroy what you cannot find!! by the way because i live in an old house every time once in a while i find beautiful books hidden somewhere. and every time i find one of them a tear is shed off my eye
Lynn Hurley Not if you have books. I'm a boomer and we destabilized global capitalism's stronghold in southeast Asia with a landline (no voicemail), three TV stations, flyers on lamp-posts, a set of encyclopedias, a public library, not much money, a lot of time, and the physical intimacy of being in the same place at the same time (e.g. movies, wooded areas, and marches on Washington.) We were not looking at display screens, except 9 broadcast TV stations. The news was from 8am-8:30, 6pm-6:30pm, and 10pm-10:30pm. That's it. A lot more time to be "at play in the fields of the lord". (Book title of Peter Mathiessen; they made it a movie with Tom Waits) When the satellites fall, the old ways return. Put down your phone, pay off your debts FAST, park your car, make sure you're friends with your neighbors and, if possible, stay away from the guns. Regarding this video and your comment, as long as the word "public" is in the American dictionary, you got libraries. If the internet is the Alexandrian Library, screengrab (not download) what you can, take it into the monasteries of your homes and parks and churches, and preserve civilization. And damn, I love François Truffaut. French New Wave of Cinema, early 1960's. Right? Art solved problems money can't. Ray Bradbury wasn't bad either.
I wonder if Ray Bradbury knew of the griots. In West Africa, the griot was a repository of oral tradition and often seen as a leader due to his or her position as an advisor to royal personages. They memorized stories to be told to the young and old.
I wonder if Ray Bradbury ever got to Griot's Garage in Tacoma, Washington USA, purveyors of myriad automotive care products and hosts of various car shows.
Oscar Werner --- my crush at 14 yrs old after seeing this movie for the first time. Probably my first encounter with Bernard Herrmann whose music I immediately fell in love with.
Thank your for posting this video. I first saw this in 1974. This has shaped my life ever since. Just an exercise of the mind, I wished to see I I could memorize a book. I chose a rather slender book call "He Leadeth Me" by Walter Cizsek. The mind is powerful and it can be done.
There are historical mentions of people in ancient Greece who had the entire Iliad and Odyssey memorized. Seems daunting but also inspiring to realize what the human mind is capable of with sufficient focus. I memorized the poem Kublai Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge; I guess that's something.
Strange & moving film that I have'nt seen for a very long time. I also remember the domestic obsession with giant TV screens & the chance to become a part of Soap style programmes for a few minutes ! ?!
Remote, somewhat morose and, as a result, intriguing, Viennese talent Oskar Werner was born in 1922, not far from the birthplace of "Waltz King" Johann Strauss, and christened Oskar Josef Bschließmayer. His parents divorced when he was fairly young. While growing up, Oskar found performing in school plays helped draw out a deep yearning to act. As a teenager, Oskar was further tempted when his uncle managed to find him some un-credited roles in a couple of German and Austrian war-era films. Oskar dropped out of high school in order to pursue acting. Not long after, he became the youngest actor ever, up until that point, to be offered membership to the Burgtheater. His name was changed to 'Oskar Werner', and he made his official debut in 1941. His career, however, was almost immediately interrupted by World War II. An avowed pacifist and fervent loathing of the Nazi regime, Werner eventually was forced to wear the German Axis army uniform, but finagled his way into KP duty feigning incompetence. Moreover, he married Elizabeth Kallina, a half-Jewish actress, which further endangered his life. Their daughter, Elinore, was born in 1944. The young family spent much of their time in the Vienna woods, hiding from both the Russians and Germans after the city was shelled. In post-war years, Oskar returned to the Burgtheater and widened his range of classics on the stage. Performing in such productions as "The Misanthrope", "I Remember Mama", "Julius Caesar" and "Danton's Death", he also played a diverse range of character roles and "older men" parts. He did not make any kind of dent in films until appearing in both the German (1948) and English versions of The Angel with the Trumpet (1950) as one of the more dissolute members of a family of piano makers. An aloof, handsome blond with wide-set, hooded eyes and quietly solemn features, Werner showed extreme promise in just a few Austrian/German films, including the role of composer Beethoven's manipulative young nephew 'Karl' in the Austrian-made Eroica (1949). Less than 2 years later, Oskar would have a resounding hit starring in his very first English-language film, Decision Before Dawn (1951), as the German prisoner of war protagonist in the Fox feature. Though ready for film-stardom, Werner's experience with the film studios quickly soured him on Hollywood, as it failed on its promise to develop him into a Hollywood commodity. As a result, he returned to Europe and his theatre roots, determined only to come back to films when it suitably piqued his interest. He fulfilled that promise, perhaps to his career detriment. Having become one of the most esteemed young actor found on Western European stages, he hit international celebrity with his definitive portrayal of "Hamlet" in 1952, a role he would return to frequently. He returned to filming a few years later; four of his features were released in 1955. He played a German captain in the film The Last Ten Days (1955) [released in the States as The Last Ten Days of Hitler]; Lieutenant Baumgarten in the historical thriller Spionage (1955) [aka: Colonel Redl]; the title role in the romanticized biopic Mozart (1955); and the student in the Max Ophüls drama Lola Montès (1955). In 1957, he founded the Theatre Ensemble Oskar Werne, with which he performed in such productions as "Bacchus." He would also return on occasion to the Burgtheater where he played "Henry V" and "Prince Hal" in "Henry IV". His interest in filming was not piqued again until 1962, when he became an international sensation alongside French star Jeanne Moreau, in François Truffaut's 'New Wave' cinematic masterpiece Jules and Jim (1962) as the highly romantic and intellectual "Jules". He stood firm, however, despite the rash of critical kudos, and did not make a film again until four years later, earning an Oscar nomination for his tortured shipboard romance with Simone Signoret (also nominated) in the glossy high seas drama Ship of Fools (1965). Notable for his roles of almost unbearable but restrained intensity, Werner furthered his film reputation by co-starring with Richard Burton and Claire Bloomin the now- classic Cold War spy film, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965). Truffaut blessed him as well with another sterling role, in the futuristic classic Fahrenheit 451 (1966), but the relationship between both of the men was irreparably damaged over artistic differences during filming. The unhappy experience Werner had during filming, triggered an already burgeoning drinking problem, and marked the start of decline of his career. Werner made only three films following the Truffaut affair, but the roles, as usual, were performed superbly. He played the suave and very-married symphony conductor who has an illicit affair with a reporter (Barbara Ferris) in the tender remake of the June Allyson/Rossano Brazzi tearjerker Interlude (1968); he appeared as an unorthodox Jesuit priest in the all-star epic The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968); and boarded another WW II-era ship as German Faye Dunaway's Jewish husband in the all-star feature, Voyage of the Damned (1976). Sadly, his longstanding problem with drink turned Oskar into a virtual recluse. Twice divorced (his second wife being Anne Power, the adopted daughter of father, Tyrone Power) and mother, Annabella, Werner later had a son, Felix, from a 1966 liaison with American model Diane Anderson. His later years were spent traveling internationally, committing to poetry/pacifist readings, and occasionally performing on the stage. In 1967, he presented his one-man show 'An After-Dinner Evening with Oskar Werner', which was comprised of readings from the works of Schiller, Goethe and others. In 1970, he once-again toured with 'Hamlet'. His final stage appearance was in a 1983 production of 'The Prince of Homburg'. On the night of Monday, 22 October, 1984, Werner canceled a concert reading at a German drama club due to illness. The following day - 23 October, 1984 Werner was found dead by heart attack, at the age of 61. He was laid to rest in his adopted country of Liechtenstein. He passed away only two days after Truffaut.
+berry nutter Yes, thanks for calling attention to that. It's interesting to me how a very few composers get all the film work, from era to era. You really get to know their styles. Hermann's music is exquisite here and perfectly captures (creates) the essence of this beautiful scene.
P.S. For those 'happy few' moved my this sequence I would suggesting 'checking out' Truffaut's other films dedicated to books and artists: The opening credits sequence of 'Les deux anglaises et le continent' (Anne and Muriel), with lovely music by Georges Delaerue (a far better film than 'Jules et Jim') and 'La chambre vert' (The Green Room), with music by the legendary Maurice Jaubert. Both films were flops on release but I would argue that they are his finest films, (along with the sublime, 'Les 400 coup', naturellement!) I forgot 'Day for Night', with Vivaldi inspired music, again, by Delerue. I must say, Truffaut gets better and better with the passing years.
I am The Book of Revelation by John the Beloved. And on either side of the river there stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
I thought that as well. It's sad - particularly the scene when it's snowing and the old man (presumably the grandfather) seems to be close to leaving this world. 😢
@@markfaulkner5626 . I love that bit of info about the snow, so right for the film ! It reminded me of a similar thing regarding the enormous setting Sun at the end of 'Whicker Man' which was similarly fortuitous I gather .
Yes--it was an incredible stroke of look to have that rare snowfall happen during the shooting of the final scenes. It adds a wonderful melancholy and yet hopefulness to the movie.
I think it's apt that it takes place in winter for that is how the society is at that moment portrayed, cold,, but I see your point it could represent the coming hope.
"The boy's speaking gibberish!" "No Sir..." "Well? Out with it!" "Well sir... not every test subject read well." 'Or at all' added another. The Fire Marshal looked about a bit, then the Marshals mouth dropped open wide in an frozen O. Then spoke 'But Montage is an F Student... low D at very bes...' Montage smiled weakly. "They had created us this way Sir. Books of secrets are meaningless unless one can read." "But the boy is spe..." "he's not dim sir... he's encoded"
People who found reason to be dissatisfied with the mainstream narrative of not allowing books to exist, and subsequently rebelled, and then learned a book that they had held on to, so that they could learn its contents, and therefore keep themselves sane AND pass on that same knowledge for a time in the future when books can be printed once again. Just ordinary members of the public, but those with very strong convictions about the preservation and distribution of historical knowledge and perspective.
Oh dear, whoever had to happen to come across War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy? they would also need to learn more of the historical context clung to it's setting eras.
I believe it is possible for a person to be able to memorize a whole book. IF he or she reads it over and over again until one day they realize they have achieved their goal.
I first saw this film as a kid. I'd already read the book but this film carries the poetry in the story so well, and yes, Herrmann's score. Since then I always imagined myself ending up in this last scene. Given the climate in the country today what I'd imagined may well come true. I plan on being Wuthering Heights if no one else has become it yet. Good luck America. Please Vote Blue.
Because if their "secret" commune is discovered for what it is, the people will be either killed or dispersed. It simply isn't safe to have any printed literature, because it is proof of a "crime" quote unquote. Without that proof, everyone there can deny it if they're ever questioned.
Also - I forgot to mention - there is a very crucial scene which has been cut out of this clip, which directly addresses your query more extensively. And that is, an old man teaching a young boy the words of a book, passing on that knowledge to him for him to remember. The hope being that, when the current regime instated in that society finally collapses, books will be allowed to be printed once again, lifting the burden of these people to remember all the words verbatim, printed in the books. They'll simply write down the words *once* in a reprinted edition, and that will be that. They'll have served their cause.
It's a cliche', I know, but I cannot imagine ANYONE besides Bernard Herrmann composing the score for this film. My God, he got it. He understood in a way no one else could. I wish I were born 30 years sooner. Now, film music is nothing more than generic, bombasic generic garbage, churned out by the fake emperor and fake, alleged "musician", parasite, and turd who goes by the name of Hans Zimmer, that piece of shit entrepreneur. May he rot in hell for destroying all that was good in the film music industry.
i've seen the REAL ending of this movie and there is a scene which is conspicuously absent from this CENSORED version... ironic, but completely predictable...
uhuh... i actually doubt you did it, but in the original version the girl is named "the jewish question" by jean paul sartre (she's seen reciting it in french) real hard to find that version...TCM showed it once...
@@paulypisspants7340 Part of the scene was left out, the part where the old man is reciting to his son or grandson the book he has memorized, right up to on his death bed. That may be because of YT time limits.
There is a deeper metaphor in this film below that of freedom of expression or even freedom ideas or even freedom of thought: freedom of PRIVATE thought...this is what is in dire jeopardy today, beleaguered by BOTH the ersatz left (by ersatz I mean the agenda of the mainstream left is not particularly ideologically nuanced and hardly erudite) and the reactionary right (also lacking in nuance)...but now silence - inner thought, contained contemplation -once a radical gesture celebrated by the likes of Susan Sontag, is now suspect, a betrayal ("You're either with us or against us.").
Ivan Panin 1855-1942 set well the term Bible Numerics, a sub set of Biblical Numerology, it is banned from Churches worldwide, except a few Synagogues in Israel and the USA. Here is a sample of my own: Suppose that Jesus died at this time and date: 2:52 in the afternoon of the 27th day of April the 4th month of 31 AD. The smallest number with roots that could show this time and date is 294=2*3*7*7=1*7*2*1*1*7*3*1 as 2:52 is also 172 minutes past Noon and the 27th of April is the 117th day of 31 AD. Now Jesus said in the verse Mat 5:18 that not a single letter would be missing of the Hebrew Law, even over such a long time and much translating. If he thought that there is more information hidden among the letters, that would be revealed by our computers, this could explain why he wanted not a single letter missing. Well 294+518=812 and 812 is the Mirror image of 518! Also the name of God, in about 1000 BC, looked like the number 3732, and it was sometimes abbreviated to 732 and 294=7*7*3*2! Also 518=2*37*7 which is the reverse of 7732! Also the 42 months of Jesus teaching and healing in Israel was also 42=7*3*2! Luke 16:17 says much the same as Mat 5:18 and 1617=11*3*7*7=7*7*3*11 and if here the 11 is like a Roman Numeral 2 which is II another 237 and 732! Also 42=3*14 which is like Pi=3.14 and Jesus was 3 times 14 Generations after Abraham! Also the 3 times 14 Generations is outlined in the verse Mat 1:17 and Psalm 117 is the exact middle chapter of 1189 chapters in the KJV Bible! Also 1189-117=1072 and 1072 is the reverse of 2701, which is the most famous 4 digit number in "Bible Numerics" (a sub division of Biblical Numerology) mostly because 1072+2701=3773 and 2701=37*73. 2701 is famous because of many other reasons, but especially as the 28 Hebrew letters of the 7 words that make Genesis 1:1 is also 28 numbers, as each letter in ancient times was a number as well, and these 28 add up to 2701! The 28 numbers: 2 200 1 300 10 400 2 200 1 1 30 5 10 40 1 400 5 300 40 10 40 6 1 400 5 1 200 90. Word number 1 is made of 6 letters 2+200+1+300+10+400=913.

Word number 5 is made of 5 letters 5+300+40+10+40=395. Word number 6 is made of 3 letters 6+1+400=407. Word number 7 is made of 9 letters 5+1+200+90=296. 296+407+395+401+86+203+913=2701=37*73 and 2701+1072=3773 !

Another mention of "In the beginning" like Genesis 1:1 is the first verse of the New Testament book John 1:1. In 51 Greek letters of 17 words adds up to 3627=3*3*13*31=117*31! Also 51=3*17=1*17*3*1 and of the 17 words, 17=1*17!!

Word number 6 is made of 3 letters 20+1+10=31. Word number 7 is made of 1 letters 70. Word number 8 is made of 5 letters 30+70+3+70+200=373. Word number 9 is made of 2 letters 8+50=58. Word number 10 is made of 4 letters 80+100+70+200=450. Word number 11 is made of 3 letters 300+70+50=420. Word number 12 is made of 4 letters 9+5+70+50=134. Word number 13 is made of 3 letters 20+1+10=31. Word number 14 is made of 4 letters 9+5+70+200=284. Word number 15 is made of 2 letters 8+50=58. Word number 16 is made of 1 letters 70. Word number 17 is made of 5 letters 30+70+3+70+200=373. 55+719+58+70+373+31+70+373+58+450+420+134+31+284+58+70+373=3627=3*3*13*31=117*31! Someone who knows Greek wrote this note: "Actually the last letter of the second word is subscripted by another, viz iota, this being the second element of a long vowel dipthong. In fact, therefore, the word has 5 letters; hence the entry should be "8 + 10" above the dipthong instead of 18 - 8 and 10 being the respective values of letters 4 and 5." So there is 52 letters and 52=4*13 which is like Pi=3.14 reversed, and also like the 4th month and 31 AD!! [And another thing, 2701 is like the number of days of a Human pregnancy 271 days, as carried down by the Jewish religion, and both are about "In the beginning"! 1072 is like the 172 minutes past Noon, time of Jesus dying, that I have only showed a bit of possibly proof support! 271 is the 58th Prime and is made of 9 months of 30 days plus 1 day and 271=(30*9)+1=270+1, note the last 4 numbers look like 2701! The 28 Hebrew letters of Genesis 1:1 that are 28 numbers and add up to 2701, can be added digit by digit to the value of 82, and 82=10+72 like 1072! 518 reminds me that that near the start of the Fibonacci series 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144, there is a pattern 123 581 321, and that 1/172=0.00581, a complex discovery I made as my Church looked like it was numbered 172 from the road, and the nearest bridge in current use across the near by Canal is Bridge 172. This in turn lead me to find the interesting result of 1/58: 1/58=0.017241379310344827586206896551 which has 28 digits that are repeated on and on. The first 3 digits are 172 and is like the 172 minutes past Noon again! The 2nd digit through to the 6th digit are 72413, and are like 31 AD, 4th month and 27th day date reversed! 28 with a mirror underneath is 58 and the 28 digits added come to 126= 3*7*3*2 like the ancient name of God!! 126 rotated is 921=307*3 and 3 is the 2nd Prime and 307 is the 63rd Prime, as 63=3*7*3 the 307*3 converts to 3*7*3 2! I had already found the date by examining the Solar Eclipse and the Moon for about 9 years, which correlated with a study of the Chodesh by Stephen Buck down in Australasia. When 2 or 3 witnesses around Jerusalem would acknowledge seeing a new Moon, before the Temples destruction in 70 AD, and the Formulas used to decide the Passover date each year since. There is more months of 31 days in the Calendar than the others, there is 4 weeks in a month, there is 2 fortnights in a month of 2 weeks each, there is 7 days in a week. An orbit around the Earth of the Moon, relative to the Stars is 27 d 7 h 43 min 11.5 s, the digits of that fact are 27743115 which reaffirms the date 27th of the 4th month 31 AD and even has 15:00 hours the 9th hour after a 6 AM Dawn in Jerusalem when Jesus died!! Also the first 6 Primes 2 3 5 7 11 13, when reversed are 31 117 532 and 532 minutes after a 6 AM Dawn is also 172 minutes after Noon!! There is more as you might have guessed in support of this time and date.] Conclusion? Design or Coincidence and even both? My opinion, the Code exists, God exists and Jesus exists!!!
What an irredeemably awful ending. Even mindless zombies are less petty as they didn't actually choose to be what they became. A disgrace for the original novel, which ended in ruins, but with hope into humanity and liberty. Maybe John Carpenter took this as inspiration and never admitted to it.
With Bernard Herrmann’s score and the snowfall, it makes for the most beautiful, yet heartbreaking ending. Ray Bradbury said he cried everytime he watched the ending of this film.
Exactly. That scene and beautiful yet oh-so-poignant music by the great Bernard Herrmann makes me cry everytime, too... Such a brilliant film & score. Everyone, especially nowadays, should see this film.
Me too. Along with the ending to Merry Christmas Mr lawrence and The Railway Children... But the guy who made this youtube video cut the lovely scene when the boy is learning from the old man. Unforgivable.
this of the movie is a really powerfull ending, but I remember that there was an atomic explotion on the book.
The book by Ray Bradbury ends with a dark and complex glimpse into the future. In contrast, the film directed by Francois Truffaut offers an uncomplicated and more optimistic conclusion. As a matter of fact, the final scene with the Book People reciting their chosen books was filmed during a rare and unexpected snowstorm that occurred. In any case, I suppose the movie's ending had much more to do with financial decisions rather than dramatic license.@@arkdelacapablanca7114
My personal connection to this film is the small part played by my sister. In this clip, she is sitting at the table and is the last person to walk through the final frame.
Cool 😎
I love how people find and share little stories like this about great events of history
Did you live near the woods?.
I've very often wondered - where exactly was this scene filmed??
It is much impressive how happily those "book people" identify themselves with book stories. In contrast, the city citizens in Fahrenheit 451 reject to be moved by any stories because they are exhausted with huge flow of information. This contrast shows that how the energy of stories can save people, even with a single book story, although information can exhaust people, even with its huge amount.
We're a minority of undesirables crying out in the wilderness. It won't always be so; one day we shall be called on one by one to recite what we have learned! Always felt this a beautiful statement.

This is why I will always hold the stories I read in my heart for all time. Even if I am to grow old and the books are burned to the ground, I will always keep them with me to tell others of their beauty and importance.
One of the first 'foreign' films I ever saw as a teenager, because I had a crush on Julie Christie.
People quite rightly talk of Orwell and Huxley but Bradbury is equally important in the times we find ourselves.
One of the most beautiful and moving sequences in all cinema.
The most heart-achingly beautiful music by Bernard Herrmann!
@clealinden7755: Yes. Agree. Bernard Herrmann was one of a kind.
'Fahrenheit 451' was, and is, an excellent adaptation of the novel. Hermann's score reminds me of Satie's music; beautiful.
It reminds me of Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte.
'How do you do? I am The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle. I have a really shit memory.'
One of my favourite sequences in all cinema. Saw it as a child and it always stayed with me. I’m a historian and it encourages me to carry on.
Have you read Natos Secret Armies, by Danial Genser PHD ?
It always brings me to tears.
I dunno why but i enjoy watching this scene the most. I guess its like the trope "protagonist finds others like him/herself in a peaceful utopia away from opressive society."
Me too, that is what makes me tear up.
this is now, 2020...."when the next age of darkness comes....."
How did we get here?

For all its flaws I love this film. And this scene encaspulates why. Melancholia. A sense of longing for the past and what we don't have.
a book that was written for books. every human being is an alive book! wow! that s a beauty of a story! you cannot destroy what you cannot find!! by the way because i live in an old house every time once in a while i find beautiful books hidden somewhere. and every time i find one of them a tear is shed off my eye
We are living this....now. Do you understand that all of our literary history - once in electronic form - can be erased with a few keyboard strokes.
Lynn Hurley Not if you have books. I'm a boomer and we destabilized global capitalism's stronghold in southeast Asia with a landline (no voicemail), three TV stations, flyers on lamp-posts, a set of encyclopedias, a public library, not much money, a lot of time, and the physical intimacy of being in the same place at the same time (e.g. movies, wooded areas, and marches on Washington.) We were not looking at display screens, except 9 broadcast TV stations. The news was from 8am-8:30, 6pm-6:30pm, and 10pm-10:30pm. That's it. A lot more time to be "at play in the fields of the lord". (Book title of Peter Mathiessen; they made it a movie with Tom Waits) When the satellites fall, the old ways return. Put down your phone, pay off your debts FAST, park your car, make sure you're friends with your neighbors and, if possible, stay away from the guns. Regarding this video and your comment, as long as the word "public" is in the American dictionary, you got libraries. If the internet is the Alexandrian Library, screengrab (not download) what you can, take it into the monasteries of your homes and parks and churches, and preserve civilization. And damn, I love François Truffaut. French New Wave of Cinema, early 1960's. Right? Art solved problems money can't. Ray Bradbury wasn't bad either.
Do you realize that nobody has burned books since 1933 and that the electronic form is for backup purposes?
Untrue, if it can be seen or listened online it can be downloaded, preserved and even printed
it just takes One guy to do so
ok boomer
Couple that with historic statue removal
[You burn up the books?][Yes, certainly, we burn up the books, but keep them here (points to his head / temple), where nobody can take them.]
I remember watching this film as a young boy and never forget it. Great film, and one of my favorites.
An unforgettable film. It has a special place in my heart.
I wonder if Ray Bradbury knew of the griots. In West Africa, the griot was a repository of oral tradition and often seen as a leader due to his or her position as an advisor to royal personages. They memorized stories to be told to the young and old.
Do you remember "Roots" ?.The griots knew the story of Kunta Kinte.
I'm sure he knew of them
I wonder if Ray Bradbury ever got to Griot's Garage in Tacoma, Washington USA, purveyors of myriad automotive care products and hosts of various car shows.
Great endding! Rather haunting and atmospheric....
This film has an amazing dream-like quality and the best ending of any film I've ever seen. Marvelous!
I agree.
Oscar Werner --- my crush at 14 yrs old after seeing this movie for the first time. Probably my first encounter with Bernard Herrmann whose music I immediately fell in love with.
Well --- this is where we are headed folks…. only Bernard Herrmann’s gorgeous soundtrack won’t be playing in the background.
This is what happens when you vote for JD Vance.
@ModMokkaMatti: Surely you are confused. This has Kamala Harris/Walz written all over it.

Thank your for posting this video. I first saw this in 1974. This has shaped my life ever since.
Just an exercise of the mind, I wished to see I I could memorize a book.
I chose a rather slender book call "He Leadeth Me" by Walter Cizsek.
The mind is powerful and it can be done.
The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise to keep it strong.
There are historical mentions of people in ancient Greece who had the entire Iliad and Odyssey memorized. Seems daunting but also inspiring to realize what the human mind is capable of with sufficient focus.
I memorized the poem Kublai Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge; I guess that's something.
Strange & moving film that I have'nt seen for a very long time. I also remember the domestic obsession with giant TV screens & the chance to become a part of Soap style programmes for a few minutes ! ?!
Remote, somewhat morose and, as a result, intriguing, Viennese talent Oskar Werner was born in 1922, not far from the birthplace of "Waltz King" Johann Strauss, and christened Oskar Josef Bschließmayer. His parents divorced when he was fairly young.
While growing up, Oskar found performing in school plays helped draw out a deep yearning to act. As a teenager, Oskar was further tempted when his uncle managed to find him some un-credited roles in a couple of German and Austrian war-era films.
Oskar dropped out of high school in order to pursue acting. Not long after, he became the youngest actor ever, up until that point, to be offered membership to the Burgtheater.
His name was changed to 'Oskar Werner', and he made his official debut in 1941. His career, however, was almost immediately interrupted by World War II. An avowed pacifist and fervent loathing of the Nazi regime, Werner eventually was forced to wear the German Axis army uniform, but finagled his way into KP duty feigning incompetence. Moreover, he married Elizabeth Kallina, a half-Jewish actress, which further endangered his life. Their daughter, Elinore, was born in 1944. The young family spent much of their time in the Vienna woods, hiding from both the Russians and Germans after the city was shelled.
In post-war years, Oskar returned to the Burgtheater and widened his range of classics on the stage. Performing in such productions as "The Misanthrope", "I Remember Mama", "Julius Caesar" and "Danton's Death", he also played a diverse range of character roles and "older men" parts.
He did not make any kind of dent in films until appearing in both the German (1948) and English versions of The Angel with the Trumpet (1950) as one of the more dissolute members of a family of piano makers.
An aloof, handsome blond with wide-set, hooded eyes and quietly solemn features, Werner showed extreme promise in just a few Austrian/German films, including the role of composer Beethoven's manipulative young nephew 'Karl' in the Austrian-made Eroica (1949).
Less than 2 years later, Oskar would have a resounding hit starring in his very first English-language film, Decision Before Dawn (1951), as the German prisoner of war protagonist in the Fox feature.
Though ready for film-stardom, Werner's experience with the film studios quickly soured him on Hollywood, as it failed on its promise to develop him into a Hollywood commodity. As a result, he returned to Europe and his theatre roots, determined only to come back to films when it suitably piqued his interest.
He fulfilled that promise, perhaps to his career detriment.
Having become one of the most esteemed young actor found on Western European stages, he hit international celebrity with his definitive portrayal of "Hamlet" in 1952, a role he would return to frequently. He returned to filming a few years later; four of his features were released in 1955. He played a German captain in the film The Last Ten Days (1955) [released in the States as The Last Ten Days of Hitler]; Lieutenant Baumgarten in the historical thriller Spionage (1955) [aka: Colonel Redl]; the title role in the romanticized biopic Mozart (1955); and the student in the Max Ophüls drama Lola Montès (1955).
In 1957, he founded the Theatre Ensemble Oskar Werne, with which he performed in such productions as "Bacchus." He would also return on occasion to the Burgtheater where he played "Henry V" and "Prince Hal" in "Henry IV".
His interest in filming was not piqued again until 1962, when he became an international sensation alongside French star Jeanne Moreau, in François Truffaut's 'New Wave' cinematic masterpiece Jules and Jim (1962) as the highly romantic and intellectual "Jules". He stood firm, however, despite the rash of critical kudos, and did not make a film again until four years later, earning an Oscar nomination for his tortured shipboard romance with Simone Signoret (also nominated) in the glossy high seas drama Ship of Fools (1965). Notable for his roles of almost unbearable but restrained intensity, Werner furthered his film reputation by co-starring with Richard Burton and Claire Bloomin the now- classic Cold War spy film, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965). Truffaut blessed him as well with another sterling role, in the futuristic classic Fahrenheit 451 (1966), but the relationship between both of the men was irreparably damaged over artistic differences during filming.
The unhappy experience Werner had during filming, triggered an already burgeoning drinking problem, and marked the start of decline of his career.
Werner made only three films following the Truffaut affair, but the roles, as usual, were performed superbly. He played the suave and very-married symphony conductor who has an illicit affair with a reporter (Barbara Ferris) in the tender remake of the June Allyson/Rossano Brazzi tearjerker Interlude (1968); he appeared as an unorthodox Jesuit priest in the all-star epic The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968); and boarded another WW II-era ship as German Faye Dunaway's Jewish husband in the all-star feature, Voyage of the Damned (1976).
Sadly, his longstanding problem with drink turned Oskar into a virtual recluse. Twice divorced (his second wife being Anne Power, the adopted daughter of father, Tyrone Power) and mother, Annabella, Werner later had a son, Felix, from a 1966 liaison with American model Diane Anderson.
His later years were spent traveling internationally, committing to poetry/pacifist readings, and occasionally performing on the stage. In 1967, he presented his one-man show 'An After-Dinner Evening with Oskar Werner', which was comprised of readings from the works of Schiller, Goethe and others. In 1970, he once-again toured with 'Hamlet'. His final stage appearance was in a 1983 production of 'The Prince of Homburg'.
On the night of Monday, 22 October, 1984, Werner canceled a concert reading at a German drama club due to illness. The following day - 23 October, 1984 Werner was found dead by heart attack, at the age of 61. He was laid to rest in his adopted country of Liechtenstein. He passed away only two days after Truffaut.
Music Bernard Hermann. Ahead of his time on the effect of contemporary classical music.
+berry nutter Yes, thanks for calling attention to that. It's interesting to me how a very few composers get all the film work, from era to era. You really get to know their styles. Hermann's music is exquisite here and perfectly captures (creates) the essence of this beautiful scene.
Greatest 20th century composer..arguably perhaps
I always break down watching this ending.
This film was a much needed tonic for Herrmann who had just been fired by Hitchcock ending a 12 year relationship.
P.S. For those 'happy few' moved my this sequence I would suggesting 'checking out' Truffaut's other films dedicated to books and artists: The opening credits sequence of 'Les deux anglaises et le continent' (Anne and Muriel), with lovely music by Georges Delaerue (a far better film than 'Jules et Jim') and 'La chambre vert' (The Green Room), with music by the legendary Maurice Jaubert. Both films were flops on release but I would argue that they are his finest films, (along with the sublime, 'Les 400 coup', naturellement!)
I forgot 'Day for Night', with Vivaldi inspired music, again, by Delerue.
I must say, Truffaut gets better and better with the passing years.

I am the Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli as you can see you can't judge a book by its cover.
you cut one of the most beautiful parts of the ending, when the young boy is learning the words from the old man. Why did you do that?
I thought that as well.
It's sad - particularly the scene when it's snowing and the old man (presumably the grandfather) seems to be close to leaving this world. 😢
I believe I read that Truffaut did not plan on the snow -- it just happened.
@@markfaulkner5626 . I love that bit of info about the snow, so right for the film !
It reminded me of a similar thing regarding the enormous setting Sun at the end of 'Whicker Man' which was similarly fortuitous I gather .
Yes--it was an incredible stroke of look to have that rare snowfall happen during the shooting of the final scenes. It adds a wonderful melancholy and yet hopefulness to the movie.
beautiful. Thank you, sir!
This is a memory from half a century ago. More recently,I see a faint connection to The Book of Eli.
I love the book, this original movie, and the remake wasn't bad either! ❤❤❤
Please mention Ray Bradbury in the credits !
Ironically my second personal philosophy is “judging a book by its cover can be a very dangerous thing”
Would be nice if it was ending with green green land and lots of flowers around ,,!
I think it's apt that it takes place in winter for that is how the society is at that moment portrayed, cold,, but I see your point it could represent the coming hope.
Ray Bradbury saw the film. He was impressed. As for me, I will rather be with them, the book people
You & me both.

So they live in the flipping woods during Winter? How do they not freeze to death?
I thought that as well when I first saw this. I'm sure they traveled with the weather
I do not understand people in ending who are they?
People who found reason to be dissatisfied with the mainstream narrative of not allowing books to exist, and subsequently rebelled, and then learned a book that they had held on to, so that they could learn its contents, and therefore keep themselves sane AND pass on that same knowledge for a time in the future when books can be printed once again.
Just ordinary members of the public, but those with very strong convictions about the preservation and distribution of historical knowledge and perspective.
Well said. I'd be proud to be among them.@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479
Oh dear, whoever had to happen to come across War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy? they would also need to learn more of the historical context clung to it's setting eras.
I love this movie but who's making all the food...and no one will remember an entire book...the end of 451 becomes its own lunacy
I believe it is possible for a person to be able to memorize a whole book. IF he or she reads it over and over again until one day they realize they have achieved their goal.
I’m “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells
I am "Hells Angels" by Hunter S. Thompson.
I first saw this film as a kid. I'd already read the book but this film carries the poetry in the story so well, and yes, Herrmann's score. Since then I always imagined myself ending up in this last scene. Given the climate in the country today what I'd imagined may well come true. I plan on being Wuthering Heights if no one else has become it yet. Good luck America. Please Vote Blue.
But uh...if they have it memorized, why not write it down?
Because if their "secret" commune is discovered for what it is, the people will be either killed or dispersed.
It simply isn't safe to have any printed literature, because it is proof of a "crime" quote unquote.
Without that proof, everyone there can deny it if they're ever questioned.
Also - I forgot to mention - there is a very crucial scene which has been cut out of this clip, which directly addresses your query more extensively.
And that is, an old man teaching a young boy the words of a book, passing on that knowledge to him for him to remember.
The hope being that, when the current regime instated in that society finally collapses, books will be allowed to be printed once again, lifting the burden of these people to remember all the words verbatim, printed in the books.
They'll simply write down the words *once* in a reprinted edition, and that will be that.
They'll have served their cause.
Im.. robots of dawn.
What would your book be? :)
Hello I’m H.G. Wells The Time Machine.
Y qué música...............................
Y que musica........
It's a cliche', I know, but I cannot imagine ANYONE besides Bernard Herrmann composing the score for this film. My God, he got it. He understood in a way no one else could. I wish I were born 30 years sooner. Now, film music is nothing more than generic, bombasic generic garbage, churned out by the fake emperor and fake, alleged "musician", parasite, and turd who goes by the name of Hans Zimmer, that piece of shit entrepreneur. May he rot in hell for destroying all that was good in the film music industry.
i've seen the REAL ending of this movie and there is a scene which is conspicuously absent from this CENSORED version... ironic, but completely predictable...
uhuh... i actually doubt you did it, but in the original version the girl is named "the jewish question" by jean paul sartre (she's seen reciting it in french) real hard to find that version...TCM showed it once...
Ah, thanks for clarifying.
@@paulypisspants7340 Part of the scene was left out, the part where the old man is reciting to his son or grandson the book he has memorized, right up to on his death bed.
That may be because of YT time limits.
There is a deeper metaphor in this film below that of freedom of expression or even freedom ideas or even freedom of thought: freedom of PRIVATE thought...this is what is in dire jeopardy today, beleaguered by BOTH the ersatz left (by ersatz I mean the agenda of the mainstream left is not particularly ideologically nuanced and hardly erudite) and the reactionary right (also lacking in nuance)...but now silence - inner thought, contained contemplation -once a radical gesture celebrated by the likes of Susan Sontag, is now suspect, a betrayal ("You're either with us or against us.").

Ivan Panin 1855-1942 set well the term Bible Numerics, a sub set of Biblical Numerology, it is banned from Churches worldwide, except a few Synagogues in Israel and the USA.
Here is a sample of my own:
Suppose that Jesus died at this time and date:
2:52 in the afternoon of the 27th day of April the 4th month of 31 AD.
The smallest number with roots that could show this time and date is 294=2*3*7*7=1*7*2*1*1*7*3*1
as 2:52 is also 172 minutes past Noon and the 27th of April is the 117th day of 31 AD.
Now Jesus said in the verse Mat 5:18 that not a single letter would be missing of the Hebrew Law,
even over such a long time and much translating.
If he thought that there is more information hidden among the letters,
that would be revealed by our computers, this could explain why he wanted not a single letter missing.
Well 294+518=812 and 812 is the Mirror image of 518!
Also the name of God, in about 1000 BC, looked like the number 3732, and it was sometimes abbreviated to 732 and 294=7*7*3*2!
Also 518=2*37*7 which is the reverse of 7732!
Also the 42 months of Jesus teaching and healing in Israel was also 42=7*3*2!
Luke 16:17 says much the same as Mat 5:18 and 1617=11*3*7*7=7*7*3*11
and if here the 11 is like a Roman Numeral 2 which is II another 237 and 732!
Also 42=3*14 which is like Pi=3.14 and Jesus was 3 times 14 Generations after Abraham!
Also the 3 times 14 Generations is outlined in the verse Mat 1:17
and Psalm 117 is the exact middle chapter of 1189 chapters in the KJV Bible!
Also 1189-117=1072 and 1072 is the reverse of 2701,
which is the most famous 4 digit number in "Bible Numerics" (a sub division of Biblical Numerology)
mostly because 1072+2701=3773 and 2701=37*73.
2701 is famous because of many other reasons,
but especially as the 28 Hebrew letters of the 7 words that make Genesis 1:1 is also 28 numbers,
as each letter in ancient times was a number as well, and these 28 add up to 2701!
The 28 numbers:
2 200 1 300 10 400 2 200 1 1 30 5 10 40 1 400 5 300 40 10 40 6 1 400 5 1 200 90.
Word number 1 is made of 6 letters 2+200+1+300+10+400=913.
Word number 2 is made of 3 letters 2+200+1=203.
Word number 3 is made of 5 letters 1+30+5+10+40=86.
Word number 4 is made of 2 letters 1+400=401.
Word number 5 is made of 5 letters 5+300+40+10+40=395.
Word number 6 is made of 3 letters 6+1+400=407.
Word number 7 is made of 9 letters 5+1+200+90=296.
296+407+395+401+86+203+913=2701=37*73 and 2701+1072=3773 !

Someone who knows Greek wrote this note:
"Actually the last letter of the second word is subscripted by another,
viz iota, this being the second element of a long vowel dipthong.
In fact, therefore, the word has 5 letters;
hence the entry should be "8 + 10" above the dipthong instead of 18
- 8 and 10 being the respective values of letters 4 and 5."
So there is 52 letters and 52=4*13 which is like Pi=3.14 reversed,
and also like the 4th month and 31 AD!!
[And another thing, 2701 is like the number of days of a Human pregnancy 271 days,
as carried down by the Jewish religion, and both are about "In the beginning"!
1072 is like the 172 minutes past Noon, time of Jesus dying, that I have only showed a bit of possibly proof support!
271 is the 58th Prime and is made of 9 months of 30 days plus 1 day and
271=(30*9)+1=270+1, note the last 4 numbers look like 2701!
The 28 Hebrew letters of Genesis 1:1 that are 28 numbers and add up to 2701,
can be added digit by digit to the value of 82, and 82=10+72 like 1072!
518 reminds me that that near the start of the Fibonacci series 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144,
there is a pattern 123 581 321, and that 1/172=0.00581,
a complex discovery I made as my Church looked like it was numbered 172 from the road,
and the nearest bridge in current use across the near by Canal is Bridge 172.
This in turn lead me to find the interesting result of 1/58:
1/58=0.017241379310344827586206896551 which has 28 digits that are repeated on and on.
The first 3 digits are 172 and is like the 172 minutes past Noon again!
The 2nd digit through to the 6th digit are 72413, and are like 31 AD, 4th month and 27th day date reversed!
28 with a mirror underneath is 58 and the 28 digits added come to 126= 3*7*3*2 like the ancient name of God!!
126 rotated is 921=307*3 and 3 is the 2nd Prime and 307 is the 63rd Prime, as 63=3*7*3 the 307*3 converts to 3*7*3 2!
I had already found the date by examining the Solar Eclipse and the Moon for about 9 years,
which correlated with a study of the Chodesh by Stephen Buck down in Australasia.
When 2 or 3 witnesses around Jerusalem would acknowledge seeing a new Moon,
before the Temples destruction in 70 AD, and the Formulas used to decide the Passover date each year since.
There is more months of 31 days in the Calendar than the others, there is 4 weeks in a month,
there is 2 fortnights in a month of 2 weeks each, there is 7 days in a week.
An orbit around the Earth of the Moon, relative to the Stars is 27 d 7 h 43 min 11.5 s,
the digits of that fact are 27743115 which reaffirms the date 27th of the 4th month 31 AD and
even has 15:00 hours the 9th hour after a 6 AM Dawn in Jerusalem when Jesus died!!
Also the first 6 Primes 2 3 5 7 11 13, when reversed are 31 117 532 and
532 minutes after a 6 AM Dawn is also 172 minutes after Noon!!
There is more as you might have guessed in support of this time and date.]
Conclusion?
Design or Coincidence and even both?
My opinion, the Code exists, God exists and Jesus exists!!!
what a soft touch francois truffaut had....for humankind , for starters
😶
Well that ruined the ending for me. Thanks
What an irredeemably awful ending. Even mindless zombies are less petty as they didn't actually choose to be what they became. A disgrace for the original novel, which ended in ruins, but with hope into humanity and liberty. Maybe John Carpenter took this as inspiration and never admitted to it.
