2081 Universal Absurdity

[Twisted Titan]

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

I read that back when I was in my teens. One of my favorites in a compilation of short stories by Vonnegut called "Welcome To The Monkey House." I highly recommend it.

There's a 1995 Showtime film too. Nothing comparable to TT's op.

About 1:35 in to part three peaked my interest. "The Great Recession"

The past imagery scene starting at 5:35 in part seven had a nice slant too.
