Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

theunbeholden I think after 70+ years of leftwing domination of media, academia, Hollywood & banking, and in some cases in politics, we've seen that they are incapable of ruling. The movie only highlights this MORE SO with extreme leftism. However I don't see any evidence of the movie showing the dangers of "nationalism, religious persecution and racial intolerance" as some say. There is nothing inherently evil about "group think" or collectivism. The movie seems to suggest that high intellect is fine aslong as its used economically and the system in place guards against high intellect entering into political reform to prevent the superior governance of monarchism, fascism or authoritarianism from appearing, by ensuring those systems never appear the unelected elite are able to run society & elections (eventually under global capitalism, ie run the whole world). If anything it shows the paranoia of the left quite clearly, they are stacking the deck in their favor so that there is never any legitimate opposition, and it shows their inability to rule! Unable to stop those intelligent from defeating the system and incapable of producing any real happiness, creativity or freedom. I think this movie is basically anti-leftist in every sense of the world & it portrays it realistically without suspending our disbelief.

chavira I'm really very surprised by the thick reviews I have read. Just because the plot of the film and the source material are different does not make the film a gross interpretation of the original work. I believe the film is a terrific, endearing interpretation of the short story. It expounds upon the ideas presented in Vonnegut's piece and puts it in a way which is more accessible to the general population. Just because some people do not understand humour or sarcasm does not mean they should not be exposed to the ideas of a great man. See this film if you have not read the story and if you have, because I guarantee you will enjoy it.

SjjSic2 Recently listen on my "Facebook" page as my first choice of favorite movies it still remains MY ALL TIME favorite movie at this time. I have not had the PRIVILEGE to view the DVD version 'cause i have no money. Go figure! I wish that I could view the two available versions just to compare the one I own on VHS against it's newer DVD counterpart in order to form an accurate opinion. This movie contains so-o-o many wonderful moments of all types ruling the whole gamut of ideas, free speech, memory, point of view... Most important it contains a valid sentimental point and conveys it VERY well. and still consider this movie very prophetic. 'nuff said.

eronavbj Ever since the idea of "Political Correctness" became stylish, I'vewarned that it was just the beginning. Such manipulation onlyleads to an increasing loss of individual freedom. It's a stealthyprocess that takes over the political organism the way a cancertakes over a physical one. The end result of such a "politicallycorrect" process is clearly illustrated in Harrison Bergeron. Theplot is simple, yet chilling in its display of cavalier inhumanity.Watch the movie for its unhidden message; enjoy it for its plot andturn of (tragic) events, but above all, learn from it – ideologies suchas political correctness and its first cousin, affirmative action, areinhumane at their foundation, insidious in their progression, anddecidedly real in their ultimate danger.
