This production never received the recognition it deserves, perhaps because it is a mirror to politicians, leaders. and the movie industry. <br /> <br />Harrison Bergeron shows us a world in which we see social convention (currently called "political correctness") taken to its final extreme, where the Government shuts down the brains of smarter individuals in order to insure that no one feels bad about being below normal. Everyone is reduced to average stupidity. <br /> <br />The film is very well done, with examples again and again of why such a "solution" is something no sane person would wish. <br /> <br />Perhaps Harrison Bergeron should be required viewing in high school government classes, to open students' minds as to the proper role of government. <br /> <br />At any rate, watch this movie for an experience that will broaden your mind, as you see smart young kids sneaking into what might be called "intelligence brothels," where they go in to have free speech and the free exchange of ideas. It's a memorable experience. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
Viewer Reviews with the continued dumbing down of the population and we just might be past the point of no return.
