Typically, I don't write reviews but thought I would give it a shot. The prologue and epilogue are telling . . when the woman narrates at the beginning of the film "Each person who tries to see beyond his own time, must face questions to which there cannot yet be proved answers . . " and then changes it at the end of the film to "Each person who tries to see beyond his own time, must face questions to which there cannot yet be absolute answers . ." look closely there is a difference. My sense is Bradbury, at the time his book was written (early 1950's), was wrestling with his own answers to the basic question of "What is the meaning of life?" The subtle change between the beginning and ending means something . . .proven vs absolute . . . to me this was an author clearly struggling with this central question . . since he's 91, let's hope he has it figured out now . . . :)
