Nice take, ct libertarian:
The Hollywood commies HATE her for HUAC and to this day will ensure that anything having anything remotely to do with her is torpedoed.
Add to this, the producers of the film were soon going to lose their option rights if they did not move quickly and put out SOMETHING.
So they said,
Big money hollywood refuses to back us
We are at the deadline to get this made
We have $10M to do it with
We can’t afford Jolie or Pitt even if we wanted them
Hollywood will torpedo any attempt we make to make this film “in the system”
This movie HAS to be made NOW to fight what Obama and his Marxists are pulling off
Putting it in this context, what these guys pulled of was freakin’ heroic.
I will be going back today and bringing my son and any of his friends he wants to bring.
Ultimately, this film is a Hail Mary pass to
Get the message out
Prove that it can be done against overwhelming Marxists odds
To land big investors for Part 2 & 3
In these contexts Atlas Shrugged Part 1 absolutely nailed it.
I will be seeing it as many times as I can to ensure its success.
On my way to see it right now.
