Saw and LOVED part one - I share many of your assessments of the film. I tried to be one of the first to buy the sountrack CD to get an autographed copy, but...didn’t make it I guess. LOVED the film, loved the music, the cast, the whole concept...America will be grateful for the efforts of all involved! EVERY step in the right direction takes us forward.

If you don’t put a comma after Didn’t, your sentence makes no sense at all.

Did you know that Wyatt the oil Baron that burns his oil fields at the end of part one is played by Bob Beckel’s brother. You know, Beckel, the horses ass liberal that is on Hannity almost every day.

If the masses aren't interested in seeing part 1 to the extent that parts 2 and 3 can be produced then parts 2 and 3 should not be produced. At least not for public consumption.

People get what they deserve. I cheer the lifeless, joyless fate that awaits the next generation of humanity.

I saw the movie and came away thinking that I you not not read the book it was hard to follow. Kind of like trying to listen to a conversation at another table. You might get the jist of where they are going...but you miss a ton of nuance.

I enjoyed the movie.

Some parts more than others.

I could have done without the few and far between missing JG interview segments. I felt it was a tv commercial sound bite device.
The trailers could and should have original and extra footage to develop the characters that went missing attributes. Just don't feel obligated to put it in the movie itself.

Can hardly wait till II is out!

>"you not not read the book it was hard to follow."

Try it on audio.

If you set aside the time it is worth it. You will be adjusting your listening schedule to more, quite often.

I saw the movie 6 times while it was in the theaters. I would take friends or family members to go see it. Those who had never read the book said that they didn’t have any trouble following the story as depicted in the film. Some also got interested in reading the book after seeing the movie.

And on Netflix stream.

didn't know...didn't know…ok!
d@mn grammar police!!!!!! 8^D

[skinkinthegrass]

Thanks...buying it now! :)

What was he screaming about? Was he a leftwinger angry at the existence of a film with libertarian capitalist heroes? Or was he a Rander who had issues with the film's fidelity to the book or something?

Atlas Shrugged Pt. 1 is on Netfix, also. I just watched it last week. I was impressed with the screenplay, acting, and the CGI of the train.

It’s a very good film. I think it should be shown in the government schools as part of business or social studies. (the female grade school teachers in our district show A Convenient Truth annually, like it’s some sort of tome)
