George the monkey was curious. That’s why they called him Curious George. In his children’s books, his curiosity gets him into very mild trouble, most of it just amusing to the humans around him.
In this Joel Haver short film, George grew up. He was still curious. He asked questions about the way that our society functions. He asked questions that powerful people did not want asked, let alone answered.
In the end, George got nothing but pain for his curiosity. He missed out on a normal life in order to helplessly struggle with forces beyond his control. What was the point when he could have had love instead?
