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,
FRank
PS Please spread the word to your FRiends, neighbors, relatives, and co-workers!
“The actors are good;”
Which of the three different casts? And if you’re referring to ASIII, explain the hippie John Galt, a Francisco who is 3 times Dagney’s age, a Ragnar who looked like some clown on parole after doing time for robbing a convenience store, and a Wyatt who had the worst cowboy twang since Travolta.
“the dialogue is good; “
Quotes from the book were good. Dialogue was nonexistent. Actor A delivers mini speech to Actor B. Actor B reciprocates.
“The scenery is good;”
Yes, stock photos of Detroit and a sinking cargo ship. Stock video of mountains looped endlessly. The same scene over and over again of Dagney looking through a muddy vehicle windshield. And don’t forget the giant sequoias that magically transplanted from California.
“and the storyline is good”
Only to the extent it followed the book. Portraying John Galt as a symbolically crucified Jesus? Guess I missed that particular nuance in the book.
There are two types of people shilling for this bastardization of Rand’s masterpiece: (1) those ignoring how awful it truly is in order to promote the message (which the movie undermines); and (2) those with a tie to the movie itself but hiding the connection.
