Literature is merely one piece of humanities. The nice thing about literature
is that it deals with themes that are dealt with in other novels, songs, paintings,
movies, and other artistic areas.

Most of the movies below are rated R, so please get parent permission if
you are under 17.

-- This is an entertaining movie that mixes the ideas of Fahrenheit

imagination of The
Matrix. This film deals with the dystopian theme in very similar
ways as 451.
