“The Giver” is another movie with the message that total equality is evil.
Shrug.
I delayed watching Part I until Part II was also available on Netflix.
They changed most of the actors!!! Part II lost something with that. It may have worked had I not immediately watched Part II after watching Part I.
Movies do not make good series, because it is too long between installments.
Going to see it tomorrow.
Saw all three movies. The first was tolerable. The second was painful. The third was worse than a high school student’s film project. Plan 9 From Outer Space was Oscar caliber in comparison to this travesty of bad casting, horrible acting, and loops of cheesy stock video and music.
The intent behind them is irrelevant. They’re a disservice to the book. Frankly, wondered if the movies were an Alinsky method to discredit Rand. This trilogy was an abomination that should never seen the light of day.
Or don’t. Word is, it’s awful.
ATLASt!
Thanks for posting this thread. I saw the trailer for this movie before seeing a really great movie, called “The Hundred Foot Journey”. I highly recommend that one, Helen Mirren is in it, along with many other actors I didn’t recognize. A very nice story with good acting, pretty French countryside was a bonus.
Let me, in the strongest of terms, commend this movie to all FReepers, whether you are an Atlas Shrugged fan or not. The actors are good; the dialogue is good; the scenery is good; and the storyline is good.
AS III will probably not win any Academy Awards, but it is well worth your time and attention. It is also well worth the price of admission and a large box of popcorn!
The movie is a perfect statement of our conservative principles! It neatly and concisely exposes the Socialist/Marxist/Fascist lie for all to see and understand! And, it presents a solution that you will appreciate.
“Mainstream media critics” will not like this movie!
Every American ought to go see the movie if they want to gain a better understanding of where the USA is heading socially, politically and economically under our Democan/Republicrat “leaders.”
UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING!
Please go see the movie — you will not regret it.
By the way, go see it even if you have not seen Atlas Shrugged I & II; the early scenes of the movie bring the viewer up to speed as to what has happened to this point neatly and concisely.
FReegards,
