As far as I am concerned his stories and books have been the greatest precious things I discovered for myself. His works have a special place in my life.....
I'm so glad Bradbury lived to see the internet and computers and the iPhone and earbuds and all these amazing things. He has seen so much in his lifetime, and so will we.
Only if he knew we made contact with mars. It’s only a matter of time until humans make physical contact and conquer mars just like he visioned in his novels.
Yes me too, they're always there, i rwad them in my early teens and have never forgotten. There is a good biog too called "the bradbury chronicles" well worth hunting down.
I was musing on the same subject today and I conclude he's completely right! You can't take anything with you but you can leave so much behind if you try. Ray's legacy is the perfect example. Thank you Ray and RIP.
He speaks with the erudition of some kind of old school 20th century psychologist, but he wasn't a formally educated man whatsoever. Never went to college. Completely self-made, completely authentic
Indeed, and what you say is an important point, really. Some people seem to believe learning only happens in schools. In reality, in my experience, it just depends on the person whether they learn better on their own, with the lead of teachers, or a combination of both. I attended several universities in two countries for years on end, but in the end I realized I just learn better on my own. No knock intended towards teachers or schools, who can do wonderful things - for those with whom that fit works.
That’s why he is so authentic and creative and deep! He did it for himself and by himself. Learning does take place beyond formal schools and settings. Self education is just if not more important.
Ray was the first author i fell in love with...i devoured his work in my teens and still love him today. The biog "The Bradbury Chronicles" by sam weller is worth reading
The artist seen with RB was Chuck Jones, director/cartoonist of many classic Warner Bros. cartoons. Two visionaries for the price of one! I respect both of them.
RB's is instantly engaging, while not always brilliant. I ask myself why ppl prefer for instance Steven King's book to his. RB seems to be relegated to small literary circles (readers of Kirkus Reviews) and schoolbooks. Goethe said, and I try to translate: "What you`ve inherited from your forebears acquire it to own it." RB's inside appears deeper here. You control and know, love a piece of the world by having formed or transformed it. Redemption through labor. Which fate do teachers have then?
I love this video, but the chomping mouth at the beginning and the electric buzzing at the end are really painfully overstimulating for a lot of autistic people. Ray Bradbury has a lot of autistic fans, so I wish those parts could be edited out.
Ray Bradbury was a third rate intellectual and his so called science fiction stories are, in fact, filled with anti-technology attitudes, preposterous Mars spaceships filled with people who talk like gas station attendants. You could expect no less from a guy who never bothered to learn to drive a car. His intellectual descendant, Stephen King, suffers from the same flaws. Like King, Bradbury is in places, entertaining, poignant, as in the Martian of a dying race who somehow meets with an earth traveler of the future and decries the view that the earthman has of the Martian present, his future. But, after liking him in my youth, where I consciously skipped over the glaring inconsistencies in his little philosophical homilies about the fallibility of man, wrapped up in his science fiction stories, I came to despise him for his parasitical attachment to the growing technological prowess of our country in its golden age of space exploration, only to disavow, disparage and ultimately condemn it as yet another exemplification of man's "foibles". Sorry Ray, take that stuff somewhere else, I'm not buying it and those who do need to take a second look at what they "skipped over" while enjoying all the "happenstances" of the story.

"The Only thing you're going to own in life is your works." nicely put.

Yet , would he be happy with what he’d see in 2024? I’m sure he would offer solutions though
And yet, he didn't use any of those things.
Faber...I wonder if he's somewhere around us as Clarisse...
I could listen to him speak for hours. What a man.
I still feel sad that we lost him, every day.
I often think about Ray
@@johntate5722 : Me too.... I think very often about his stories.....
Yes me too, they're always there, i rwad them in my early teens and have never forgotten. There is a good biog too called "the bradbury chronicles" well worth hunting down.
Oh my… this is beautiful. Only a few people can be THAT sincere. This is, truly, amazing!
Who was the one person who disliked this? Such wonderful words. Love listening to this man speak and love reading his work

Only thing you’ll ever own in life is your work.
My favourite writer. Ray Bradbury was a real genius! The world gonna miss him
Thank you so much, Ray Bradbury, fellow Illinoisian! RIP.

The purpose of higher learning is to ignite the fire of quest...

A public library, for some, is better than or, at least, equal to any classroom. That is why we need them.
What a man, peace brother

Fantastic. Thank u for that info, i was wondering who he was.
Such genius, such honesty. What a guy.
Genius. Beautiful sentiments.
We've lost a lovely, brilliant man. R.I.P. Mr. Bradbury.
I'm late to the party but I absolutely ADORE "All Summer in a Day"
Ray is fantastic.
divine soul....talk about spirtuality and books...
Brilliant.
Taking the time to find out what the secret self wants to say to us, where creative ideas come from.
I love him
Well said....
Holy crap! Chuck jones and ray Bradbury. Anyone know what they're working on?
Where can I find the whole interview?
Hmm, nice words of wisdom.

Seen splash down on cbc
As I listened it made a whole sense to me. I think of his 451 and Montag...and then I realized,how deep inside we are broken 💔...
1:38 time stamp for me
Very clever man.
The three people who disliked this are what’s wrong with the world.

Damn, those are some Coke bottle lenses. Don't turn your face toward the sun Ray. You'll go blind.
Those were the days before lens on glasses weren’t made thin the way they are today.
he's wearing woman's glasses
