YMMV / Harrison Bergeron

• Harsher in Hindsight: Regardless of the original story’s intentions, some people feel many of the things it predicted are becoming a reality. For instance, the movie predicted the Great Recession almost a decade before it actually happened and there is a growing movement of people who seem to think this story is an instruction manual.
• Misaimed Fandom: Harrison Bergeron is critically problematic and accessible to several interpretations. See Stealth Parody on the main page.
• Tear Jerker: Harrison's mom watches her son get killed on television. But moments later she can't remember why she's crying.
• Values Dissonance: To some, the story's ideas of the "equality" people seek come across as deeply dishonest even from a satirical standpoint.
