My husband & I just saw it this afternoon at a theater near UCLA (Westwood area). The cinema was packed.
Wow, great film. Well done! We really enjoyed it.
Many people teared up, at “the train passing over the new bridge” scene. I heard people sniffing, tears of joy at entrepreneurs’ success after taking risk and working countless hours.
It was also a violent film. It FELT violent.
True, not a shot was fired. not a fist was raised.
But the film’s mood conveyed violence — STATE (interest-group) organized force, i.e. state intervention into peaceful successful economic transactions. The tension between free enterprise operations and protectionist govt intervention / central planning to protect losing competitors, and protectionist labor unions, was displayed nicely in the movie.
It rang true to events we see today - more government protections, more “equality” of outcomes, preying upon work and the success of risk takers and dynamic business people.
We can’t wait til Part 2

God help us...to many have given it all away for a few cheap favors.
