.2081.
A story derived from Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s short story!!
Harrison Bergeron...
*intro*
Like Ray Bradbury's story, Harrison Bergeron takes place in the future, and in a domestic setting. New technology is having an important impact on people's lives. The story is told clearly and with a degree of detachment. But Vonnegut's story explores a different social theme: the idea of what it might mean to make sure that all people were equal. Vonnegut treats the subject with irony and a darkly humourous touch, but the story suggests some serious social questions -- about the place of the media in our lives and our freedom to act as individuals.
Kurt Vonnegut is an American writer, born in 1922, who often uses features of the science fiction genre in his novels and short stories. Harrison Bergeron is from a collection of Vonnegut's short stories called Welcome to the Monkey House, which was published in 1968.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal.They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

Frankly I'm really looking forward to watching this video as soon as it is on the theatre box office. A whole new scientifically ironic video that is surely a uniquely worth-fascinating blockbuster at time.
