The year is 2081, and everyone is equal.
Everyone has been made to be equal.
Everyone has been made to be ordinary.
Turns out when the extraordinary have been outlawed, only the outlaws will be extraordinary.
Such is the theme of a new film, 2081, based on Kurt Vonnegut’s story ‘Harrison Bergeron.’
It looks good. It looks very good.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Interesting. When I click through on your link, though, the promotional material says out on DVD January 25th.
ReplyDeleteWhy did this never go to the theatres? Or are they releasing DVD at same time as theatre opening?
It's a short film, running at only 25 minutes.
ReplyDeleteMark: I don't think this will ever come out in cinemas (in NZ, at least).
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia, it aired at the Seattle Film Festival in May, and at some other film festivals elsewhere. However, it doesn't say anything about being in cinemas.
Agree Callum. And I think HerShnapps has put his finger on it: only a short movie.
