Saw and LOVED part one - I share many of your assessments of the film. I tried to be one of the first to buy the sountrack CD to get an autographed copy, but...didn’t make it I guess. LOVED the film, loved the music, the cast, the whole concept...America will be grateful for the efforts of all involved! EVERY step in the right direction takes us forward.
People get what they deserve. I cheer the lifeless, joyless fate that awaits the next generation of humanity. |
I saw the movie and came away thinking that I you not not read the book it was hard to follow. Kind of like trying to listen to a conversation at another table. You might get the jist of where they are going...but you miss a ton of nuance.
Some parts more than others.
I could have done without the few and far between missing JG interview segments. I felt it was a tv commercial sound bite device.
The trailers could and should have original and extra footage to develop the characters that went missing attributes. Just don't feel obligated to put it in the movie itself.
Can hardly wait till II is out!
Atlas Shrugged Pt. 1 is on Netfix, also. I just watched it last week. I was impressed with the screenplay, acting, and the CGI of the train.
It’s a very good film. I think it should be shown in the government schools as part of business or social studies. (the female grade school teachers in our district show A Convenient Truth annually, like it’s some sort of tome)
Saw it with two friends, who are very left, they didn’t get it.
I laughed.
Oh, “Who is John Galt?”.
Thanks for the thread and the reminder...dl’ing it now... ;)
Excellent comments.
We saw the movie when it was released to theaters and along with only about five other patrons at that show time thoroughly enjoyed the film.
I saw it again last night on Netflix and it is even more effective as a movie now that Obama has been in office for three years on the way to completely destroying the U.S.
