I was stoked to see the ad in PASTE about the film 2081, which is based on Vonnegut’s great little story “Harrison Bergeron.” The tagline of the film is “Finally Equal”, and is about a time in the future when everyone is forced to be equal by wearing different handicaps that level strength, intelligence, beauty, across society until someone stands up to this radical egalitarianism. Apparently the film is already out. I’ll be renting it soon.
Read a review I did on the short story a while back. Check the trailer below.
