I didn’t notice much to filter out. God was never mentioned, positively or negatively, abortion was never mentioned. I just enjoyed the handful of free marketers trying to survive in an increasingly state sponsored collectivist hell. It very nicely parallels what’s going on today in our society. The SSI was a wonderful parallel to the EPA and the global warmists. I forget the name on the van giving out food, but look at the increase in food stamps here. Yesterday I read where the govt had spent5 million in a campaign to sign people up for food stamps. I pray this movie is a smash hit.
You are right, there was not much else mentioned in the movie. What I meant by filter out was — to filter out whatever other Randian philosophy is available today from the message of Atlas Shrugged Part 1. Sorry I was not more clear. You and I are on the same page here.
I hope for the same thing. Original release was going to be in 20-something theaters... it is now in 300.
