Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- The law requires me to wear a handicap radio so I don't outsmart anyone.
- Nobody was smarter, better-looking, or stronger than anybody else in 2081. And anybody who was smarter (like George), was controlled by the H-G men to not take advantage of it.
- If i tried to take it off and get away, everyone else would try too, and the dark times would come back.
- Why don't you just take a few beads out and rest?
- Squack squack, Harrison Bergeron has escaped, squack squack!
- my empress
- we are free!
- Forget sad things.
- I always do.
- In his story "Harrison Bergeron," Kurt Vonnegut makes the point that humans can be cruel and take everything to the extremity. In this story, the humans think that the dark times of war and bloodshed were caused by being unequal, and yes. But, that doesn't mean that we must be extremely equal, and if some are smarter or better we begin to torture them. Sometimes our imperfections are also our perfections. The fact that George and Hazel don't remember even about their son barely, and he dies without them even realizing it, is just sad. The world makes so many stereotypes and mindsets of what being "normal" is that we start to bring ourselves down. Just like they had weight bags and handicap alarms, we have all these mindsets bringing us down and our hurtful thoughts as our alarms. We become so conscious that we forget what life is really about, and so by trying to make things normal, we end up making things worse since life is normal just the way it is.
