Anyone just watch The Black Stallion on TCM

I wish I had posted it was coming on. I love that movie.

1. Haven't seen the movie.

Read the book some years ago, and to me it was clearly about slavery.

2. It was based on the Farley books about a horse nt

3. Yep. That's the book.

It really is about slavery. Have no idea if that's in the movie.

Have you ever read Fahrenheit 451? I finally got around to reading it a couple of years ago. Everyone thinks it's about literal book burning, but it's not. It's clearly about the Holocaust and the killing of Jews. Only I've never seen that interpretation of the novel.

4. Thanks

I never read the book. I do love the movie.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. And I'm the reverse.

We should get together for a weekend. You read the book. I watch the movie. We then discuss.
