Harrison Bergeron Comparison

There are similarities and differences between the movie and short story in our english book about the story of Harrison Bergeron. The movie was very much not how I imagined it in my head while I was reading the story, but I did think the movie was good.
I noticed many similar things from the story that were in the movie. Some of the things that I noticed were the same was that the reporter had a bad stutter without his handicaps. I thought Harrison was described the same overall, and how he broke into the ballerina performance.
There were many different things compared to the movie and the story. A few of the things I picked out during the movie was George seemed more distracted in the movie than in the story. Harrison also did not have a bomb when he came in to the ballerina performance. The "bomb" was not an actual bomb it was just something to turn the cameras back on while he was proving a point. In the story, Hazel was the one who started crying when Harrison got shot on live TV, but in the movie it was George. Also, the TV was off air in the story, and the TV was on when Harrison was shot.

  1. Somehow the movie was more "modern" than I had imagined. I was imagining a "vintage" future if that makes sense. :)
