Science fiction films have always been inspired by the great stories written by fictional authors, and some of these films do not even depend on complete novels, but short stories and novels.
Whether John W. Campbell “Who goes there?” John Carptter became ThingPhilip K. Dick “We can remember it to you in bulk” it becomes The total summonsOr Arthur Sen Clark becomes “The Sentinel” 2001: Odysse Space, The science fiction story has an irreplaceable effect on films.
However, a short science fiction story got a adaptation in the 1990s and was immediately forgotten. It is one of the most bold and insignificant modifications in Science fiction date.
This is why we need to save the 1995 movie for the movie Kurt Vonnegu's Harrison Bergeron.
“Harrison Bergeron” Written by Court Fonygut
Court Fonygut should not need an introduction, but in the case, he was a prolific and effective writer who liked to play with the type. His sperm, Five slaughterhouseIt revolves unique to science fiction stories and a war that has received its films adaptation in 1972. To learn more about it, check out Podcast species on Five slaughterhouse.
The short story of Vonnegu “Harrison Bergeron” offers the United States in which any and all differences between people are confronted through many disabled people in order to obtain a level of equality for all human beings. For example, people with beautiful face features traditionally wear ugly masks.
The short story takes Harrison Bergeron, a very strong and strong young teenager who is seized by the government for ingenuity.
In the short story, Harrison's parents watch a TV broadcast that Harrison interrupted in an attempt to rebel against the government. I will not reveal the rest of the story as everyone must read it, but it is sufficient to say that the story does not enjoy the brightest belief in humanity.
Harrison Bergeron movie
When it's time to adapt the short story in a movie, Showtime TV decided to take many creative freedoms. The story was determined in 2081, but the film decided in 2053 because of the artistic decision to photograph the submerged future as a countryside in the fifties of the last century. This is only the beginning of the great deviations and additions to this film.
Harrison (who is played by Samais Jami himself, Sean Astin) is still an abnormal bright child, but when he is transferred by the government in the movie, it will happen under the pretext of lobes. What ends is the choice of Harrison in the secret organization that already runs the world.
Yes, in Harrison Bergeron The film, and the idea is that the smart cable keeps the world to run secretly by making society as medium as possible. They even choose the Armshair chair to be the president and Uginy Levy!
This shadow head, played perfectly Star Trek SixthChristopher Plamer Christopher Plamor explains the reason for this method that the world should be in order to prevent wars and destruction. In doing this, this means depriving society of amazing art and expression. Harrison must now become part of this repressive system.
He decides to work in the government's television section and ultimately plans to mix what is happening in the short story: he takes over the broadcast room and begins to play Classic films And music for the audience that was hidden for generations.
When he finally stopped, he gave the opportunity to go on the most popular dialog program in the country, hosted by the roaming Howe Mandel, and says it was a joke. Again, I will not spoil exactly what is happening but it will not make you feel satisfied!
Look, I will be completely with you, I love the original short story, and the 1995 movie is definitely tries to do its best to pick up the satire of Fonigut. The movie and the story are both dark comedy in their heart. However, the film's tone and television produce tend to be bright and cheaper.
Fortunately, the team of the actors worth noting that I already mentioned brings a lot of the magic of Playhouse to the entire production. Sean Astin is a Cherubic and two boys appropriately like Harrison, making his journey more tragic at the end of the movie. Plummer is exactly the one who has been thrown as an evil salad character that can convince you to become authoritarian.
Although the film uses the Vonneguant story of the jumping point than it does directly, it is able to reconcile in more than a few signs to the story such as TV broadcasting with a handicapped dancer. The film is committed to the dark beliefs imposed by Fonigut about anti -organism and the suppression of artistic expression.
Save this movie!
It is not a secret masterpiece, however Harrison Bergeron It is a kind of difficult science fiction movie that we should not leave in a tip. This is similar to the situation. While I write this text program, the film is not available on any Running Or video service on request.
You can definitely see it if you know where it looks-and this is not very difficult-but it is unlikely to be high-quality accuracy or professional restoration. Who knows how long will these digital versions be within your reach?
Harrison Bergeron It is an example of a need to pay attention to preserving art. Since more and more archive media are under the lock and key of homogeneous companies, we risk those companies with a single power about what is worth maintaining.
Just look at any number of favorite fan Netflix Offers and films that do not contain physical versions. Heck, PorridgeIt is still a major version of a large studio achieved a good performance at the box office that has no material version.
If it is possible to strangle these types of prominent projects, think about all the art that you will never see because no one cares enough to save him. Harrison Bergeron It is not a good or bad movie, it's completely good, but it is worth admitting and archiving the right and available to the audience like any part of the artistic media.
If you do not think this is the case, then why do you not manage the mind of the mind of your mind again and appear that you will forget within a week that will disappear from broadcast by next year.
