On September 6th, 2014, I stood up in front of a packed house in Las Vegas, NV, and stated, “This is not the movie that’s been playing in your head since you closed the back cover. This is however, without question, a celebration of Ayn Rand’s ideas.”

That packed house was filled with some of the staunchest Ayn Rand advocates on Earth. It was the “Galt’s Gulch Online Producers Only Premiere” of Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt? and it was the first official showing of the film.

I then proceeded to introduce the other VIP guests on hand at the event, Producer Harmon Kaslow, Consultant David Kelley, Associate Producer Joan Carter and then, as I introduced Producer John Aglialoro, the words came out of my mouth, “the man of the hour.”

It was not a fitting introduction.

In 1991, a Library of Congress poll revealed that Atlas Shrugged is the second most influential book ever written.

Second only to the Bible.

I have not seen #3 yet but have enjoyed the first two. Considering the limited budget and total lack of support from the major film companies, I have to give these folks credit for what they've done. It's been an uphill battle with little press coverage(!?) and limited distribution trying to get this produced and shown. Tomorrow would be a good day to go possibly.

I went opening night and liked it despite the budget and other constraints. I will buy the DVD. I contributed via kickstarter and got my soundtrack. Good listening.

That great film critic Michael MEds gave this one a ONE STAR and said skip it. I saw it an liked it. It is extremely hard to put 1000+ page book into 3 90 min films. I have read the book three times over 50 years and do not understand why more people are not “going Galt” in this age of Nanny Government.

Usually the films critics rave about are stinkers

MM probably didn’t like the film’s indictment of govt

LOL! When I see a flim “critic” give a movie a thumbs down it usually means I would like it since I am apparently one of those low brow neanderthals. :>}

Let me, in the strongest of terms, commend this movie to you, whether you are an Atlas Shrugged fan or not. The actors are good; the dialogue is good; the scenery is good; and the storyline is good.

AS III will probably not win any Academy Awards, but it is well worth your time and attention. It is also well worth the price of admission and a large box of popcorn!

The movie is a perfect statement of our conservative principles! It neatly and concisely exposes the Socialist/Marxist/Fascist lie for all to see and understand! And, it presents a solution that you will appreciate.

Every American ought to go see the movie if they want to gain a better understanding of where the USA is heading socially, politically and economically under our Democan/Republicrat “leaders.”

UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING!

Please go see the movie — you will not regret it.

By the way, go see it even if you have not seen Atlas Shrugged I & II; the early scenes of the movie bring the viewer up to speed as to what has happened to this point neatly and concisely.

FReegards,

FRank

PS Please spread the word to your FRiends, neighbors, relatives, and co-workers!

Yes, we are!

The next two years will be VERY INTERESTING, WON’T THEY?
