Move over John Galt, I am Harrison Bergeron

Move over John Galt, I Am Harrison Bergeron.

A short film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron", 2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is "finally equal...." The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything.

2081 features an original score composed by Lee Brooks and performed by the world-renowned Kronos Quartet (Requiem for a Dream), narration by Academy Award Nominee Patricia Clarkson (Far From Heaven, Goodnight and Good Luck), and stars James Cosmo (Braveheart, Trainspotting), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!, What About Bob?) and Armie Hammer (The Social Network).

It certainly is a short film. Only about 20 minutes. Kind of entertaining though.

Ah, but in that short little movie it gets the point across that takes Ayn Rand almost 1200 pages to make.

Typical American . . . always looking for the shortcut. Want the government to read the big long book for you?
