Harrison Bergeron
"All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so." This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual "Handicapping" which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director knows what they want to say — and that shows in every frame. The film doesn't scatter itself on unnecessary things, holds its chosen tone from start to finish.
There's something that puts it above the genre average. Not without weak points, but with strong enough merits to recommend.
A good choice for an evening when you want a film — just a good film.
Director: Bruce Pittman
