Any FReeper movie reviews yet? My 18 year old son saw it yesterday and said it was awesome. Reviews have said that it stinks. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 5 out of 100 on the Tomatometer.
I wondered who he was. That was about 1980.
Re red everything but “Anthem” a dozen times. “Atlas Shrugged” is such a fine book that for some reason I continue to reread. I have a copy in my car, a copy at work, and a copy on top of my Bible and dictionary, right here.
Given dozens of copies of Atlas and Fountain head out over the years.
I await the new movie. Prepare to see the previous one on TCM.
I have never understood the fascination with Rand. She was a pompous atheist, nothing more than a early 20th century Eastern european intellectual which today we would call a secular humanist. Is it because she was pro capitalist that many people here read her works with enthusiasm?
Sounds like the reviews are positive.....Good sign that a lot of people hate the film.....I’d be worried if the Lady GaGa crowd liked it. (Which is most of the population today.)
Atlas Shrugged was recommended to me by a wonderful friend, years ago. I was apolitical at the time and the book certainly changed my life. I began to pay attention to politicians and whether or not they love big government enough to rob us of our self-reliance and our freedom. I hope everyone will see the movie..I certainly will.
Why reading the book is as important as seeing the movie.
I wish people would read more of Rand's non-fiction and her incredible epistemology. Most stop at the virtue of selfishness and think that's all she had to say.
If, only, the “Road to Serfdom” could be made into a movie.
I watched the original version on TNT a while back. It was the most boring movie I’ve ever watched. The acting was pathetic, and the dialog was phony.
I assume this version can’t be any worse.
Has anyone seen the original version and actually enjoyed it?
