Curious, he begins to hide books in his house and read them, starting with Charles Dickens's David Copperfield. The two have a discussion about his job, where she asks whether he ever reads the books he burns. One of the firemen, Guy Montag, meets one of his neighbours, Clarisse, a young schoolteacher who may be fired due to her unorthodox views. They have the power to search anyone, anywhere, at any time, and burn any books they find. In the future, a totalitarian government employs a force known as Firemen to seek out and destroy all literature. Another notable aspect of the film is that Julie Christie plays two characters, Clarisse and Montag's wife. Truffaut's adaptation differed from the novel by portraying Montag and Clarisse falling in love. Truffaut wrote in a letter, "You mustn't think that 'Alphaville' will do any harm whatsoever to 'Fahrenheit'", but he was mistaken. Based on one of Ray Bradbury's most famous novels, Fahrenheit 451 came out in 1966, one year after a dystopian film named Alphaville was released, directed by his friend and fellow filmmaker Jean Luc Godard.
