You may have heard critics attack Ayn Rand, the superficiality of the novel, the poisonous ideas it enshrines. I don't know about you, but I like to chew my own food before I swallow it. Here's your chance to make up your own mind about Atlas Shrugged. A two hour movie is much easier to digest than a thousand page novel.
If you go to see Atlas Shrugged movie Part I, you'll encounter a thread through the entire story. The question: Who is John Galt? As the tale progresses, so will your understanding of this question, until, in the end, it will make sense.
You won't know who John Galt is, not yet, but you'll understand what he stands for-the right of each of us to live his life, trade freely with others, and be happy.
Freedom is a dying art around the world, but Atlas Shrugged the Movie, Part I, has the power to change that. If you'll go and see it. Learn more at Atlas Shrugged Part I.

Post a CommentIt seems Yahoo didn't want to post my entire comment. How is watching a movie, aka someone's interpretation of the book different from reading someone's condensed article on the book?
Forget about comparing the movie to the novel. What the script writers have done is reduce a saga to a skeleton, and then the skeleton into a slogan. It's that slogan--who is John Galt--that can spread like wild fire (the way the novel never could), helping people question the status quo of today and suggesting individual rights as its replacement.
How cool, thanks Tal!
Nicely Written, thank you
im looking foreward to seeing it ...but as always ill bet - movies never really do a book full justice
