I remember seeing this movie when I was young (Jr High?), but I don't remember being nearly as disturbed by it as I was reading it this week. Looking at how the culture in the book has rejected anything of depth and substance, and then looking around at society today is quite chilling. The pedant in me wants to nitpick how a society that is only concerned with happiness continues to function and develop the high level of technology they have, but I realize that is secondary to the story at hand. 
 Montag's journey of self-discovery reminds me of Babbitt's, especially with chasing after the faerie girl at the outset. I enjoyed this more than Babbitt partly because of the setting, and I'm not sure where that puts me in the context of the story.
