Tom Hanks Leaves Fahrenheit 451

Tom Hanks has dropped out of Frank Darabont's film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451.
by Larry_Chimp_Man

I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks as well as Frank Darabont. Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is also one of my favourite novels. You'd think I'd be upset Tom Hanks has dropped out of the movie adaptation due to other commitments. I'm not.



I'm completely against a Fahrenheit 451 adapted for the silver screen. The book's main message is the importance of literature and I can't see that being portrayed on film. A movie adaptation will most likely focus on the themes of censorship and propaganda, not the eradication of the written word. I have no doubt that a Fahrenheit 451 adaptation would be a great film, it just wouldn't share the same punch found in the Bradbury novel.

Frank Darabont's Fahrenheit 451 will be delayed until the director can find a new Guy Montag. Who would you like to see in the role? Post a comment with your pick.

Cheers.

There was already a F 451 movie made in 1966. It was kinda silly. But I disagree, Language is a fluid thing, and it matters not where or how it is represented, be it in film, or art, or literature. I suppose the book was about the eradication of literature, but if you remember reading it, they also lost art, and basically all other sorts of self expression, so a film about this book that focuses on that aspect of the theme might not be so bad. As for me, if I see a film based on a book, I usually read the book shortly after. We may be a culture of the silver screen, but the remaining dregs of us who do know what a book is profit from things like this. Regardless, culture is culture, and I'm not opposed to whichever way it is represented, I appreciate all of it.

The original F 451 DID focus on the eradication of the written word and had Bradbury's blessings. He was thrilled when his Martian Chronicles was included in the movie as one of the books being memorized in the book village. Oscar Werner was the ideal Montag. Please see the movie.

2020.08.09不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因我很慶我幸身為一個女人。也很慶幸我是一個打扮起來還不差的女人。十八歲生日沒有狂歡沒有慶祝。酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容在網路上找了間經紀公司,當天下午就開始上班。我在酒店上班的日子年輕的肉體再加上尚未染上風塵的氣質,很快我成了店裡的紅牌。下午茶玩的是什麼? 酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?酒店晚上營業,下午時段店家場地借給午茶,就是在那樣的小包廂裡,一個客人一個小姐,大約五十分鐘的時間,就看小姐怎麼讓客人在這短短的時間小小的包廂裡喜歡上自己。酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?有客人喜歡,才會有指台,酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?才會有預約。中午十二點上班,晚上八、九點下班,換了衣服卸了妝,身邊沒有人發現我的工作特殊。一樣的一天八小時,每上一台我可以領個一千。或許吧!有的人覺得我出賣身體、出賣靈魂。但是我寧可出賣這些,也不想過像我的父母那樣的生活,那樣捉襟見肘的生活,那樣跟西家借錢還東家的生活,那樣無止盡為錢爭吵的生活,那樣要躲在家裡不出聲不開燈以免被發現的生活,那樣連感冒想去藥局買個成藥都要惦量惦量的生活。還記得工作第一個禮拜,我領了兩萬多的薪水。那些扣除林林總總後居然還有這樣多!這是我第一次拿著那麼多錢,我好想大聲地告訴我的父母,我會賺錢了,若是時光回溯,我是不是就可以幫上你們的忙了?大約過了兩三個月,一開始覺得「領好多錢」的感覺也沖淡了。開始審視自己要的是什麼?我想要有一個家,一個完完全全屬於我的家,一個不用因為繳不出房租被房東趕的家。於是我不再是那個滿足於一個禮拜領個三萬左右的女孩。

2021.04.03【酒店公關】酒店打工內容:
桌面服務,一般人通常會想偏 其實桌面服務是很簡單 也很單純的一件事
桌面服務有以下幾個要點:
1.【酒店小姐】桌面上有幾件物品要注意?
A.容器杯類有5種(威士忌杯 也就是洋酒杯 ;啤酒杯: 水杯 也就是開水杯;熱茶杯 ;公杯)
B.熱毛巾(當服務生送熱毛巾給消費者使用後 摺整齊後放在旁)
C.水果盤(把面積較大的水果 細分小塊後送至消費者面前)
D.煙灰缸(煙灰缸內別超過3根煙)

2.【酒店工作】接下來要注意的事項有以下:
A.當消費者要點歌時 要主動起身(不等消費者開口) 拿麥克風歌本(或遙控器)
B.千萬別讓消費者自己倒酒(或水) 甚至要主動按服務鈴請服務生入內(如倒熱茶 熱毛巾)
C.若消費者有拿煙的動作 記得協助點煙
D.保持桌面清潔(如有水漬要立即擦拭)

3.【酒店小姐】酒店上班桌面服務的最大意義為何?
A.讓消費者感到妳貼心和細心(一般女生是不會幫男生有上述情況)
B.藉此增加和消費者良好的互動八大行業相當特殊,因為他的商品就是“人”。要在這當中賺大錢不是不可能,只是你要克服的就是所有消費者的人性,簡單說:就是要讓消費者覺得你『物超所值』。
