My wife and I did not go to see the movie to pick it apart.
We went to see AS III to enjoy a movie afternoon and to find out if it would be helpful in advancing the conservative cause.
My wife and I both enjoyed watching the movie, and we both believe it will advance the cause.
It certainly made a very strong statement about the abject failure of the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist political/economic/social system being rammed down our throats by our own government(s) — federal, state and local!
I’ll probably go see AS III again, and will take one or more FRiends with me. I’ll fer shure, fer shure buy the AS III DVD!
It is regrettable that you were so picky-picky.
If you are so damn smart about Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged, why didn’t YOU make the movie?
“If you are so damn smart about Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged, why didn’t YOU make the movie?”
My wife and I went to see all three movies. I’ve bought a couple hundred dollars in merchandise from the AS store online tied to the trilogy.
Yet I’m not allowed to have an opinion that the movies were horrible?
Your argument is weak. I have no interest in producing, directing, screenwriting or acting in movies. Yet I can certainly critique them, particularly having invested time and money to watch them.
You’re no different than a dogmatic DUmmie defending Obama. Following your logic, no one could criticize his abysmal presidency unless they were also POTUS, gay, black, Muslim, etc.
As for your argument about the message, the delivery of it through this medium killed it. It was the equivalent of putting a copy of Rand’s book in a bag of dog feces and expecting people to get past that in order to understand the message.
