Midas was picked off in the first scene, which made it contemporary, rather than 6 years previous. We get to meet Galt as a man in a raincoat with his face obscured. Good bit of screenwriting.
Another minor nitpick was the scene with Hugh Akston at the Diner- he said nothing at all of interest and seemed kinda like ‘The Dude’... but a very minor problem. Stadler wasn’t impressive either considering the role that the two of them played in the 3 protaganists education...
I really did appreciate you posting the links from the book thread on the Atlas Shrugged thread a week ago. I shared them with many friends who had & who had NOT read the book & they were impressed with your work
I have had a couple years of hit /miss at FR with my mom’s decline & death.. missed a lot including your offering which I would have loved to have participated with over the course of the posting
One more question if you don’t mind (since I don’t have plans to see it until tomorrow). Did they keep the cigarette smoking in the film (since it does play a role in the book)?
