just found this story, from 1961


I can't believe I missed this great story over my life long following of interesting science fiction! I'm watching it now on vimeo. https://vimeo.com/325695626
will be interesting to see where it goes.

Read the short story. The movie doesn't do it justice,

Definitely plan too.
I read this film deviated from the story, while keeping the same basic idea. Probably adding some modernistic ideas in, but seems like a cool and TIMELY concept about equality.

well... the short story was way to short. i felt this movie covered a lot more ground, went a lot further and more interesting than the short story. just my opinion

My worry was that they wouldn't go in to the horrible depths the story went to keep everyone "equal." If my worries are unfounded, I will likely have to see the film. :D
