Short clip from the 1995 Showtime movie "Harrison Bergeron", based on the Kurt Vonnegut short story. In this clip, Harrison Bergeron (played by Sean Astin) shoots himself in the face on national television, thus proving his nobility. Hilarity ensues.

  • Oh, baby, baby, NOOOOO!!!!!!!

  • this movie was better then the book for me in a honest opinion

  • @blackadder112679 how the fuck do you find that hilarious?

  • The ending was to shock and bring a stronger view point, which I thought was an excellent prop.

    We all entitled to different opinions and to be ourselves, which i think is the moral of this film.

    Peace.

  • the guy at the end... "son a bitch" looking into his dead face lol

  • What a bastardization of the short story! This ending is only something an anarchist thirteen year-old would find deep.

  • Holy Crap! Sam the Hobbit just shot in his face!

  • For certain part; this movie make more sense than the story "2081".

    "2081" it is more emotional (it focused on one man trying to convey message thru emotions) but it doesn't explain why intellectuals support that egalitarian system.

    -In "Harrison Bergeron"; there are extensive dialogue between the supporter (the elite) and the opposer of the system (Harrison Bergeron).

  • Excellent; exactly like the book.

  • Awesome video! If you have some time, please check out my final project from film school, a sci-fi drama entitled "NUMERICA" inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's 2 B 0 R 2 B.

    It tells the story of a young couple struggling to have a baby in a world where overpopulation is rampant. In fact, for every child born an adult must volunteer to die.
