    The book, Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, and the movie, The Giver, directed by Phillip Noyce, each portray the story of a community that is trying to achieve or maintain a form of utopia.

In Fahrenheit 451, firemen are the people who have the job of hunting down and burning any books found in the community.
