Atlas Shrugged Part 1.

I get it - message loud and clear, I support the message 100%.


But that was the worst writing I have ever experienced. At first I couldn't tell if the acting just sucked or if it was the writing. But no - it's the writing, the writing sucked so bad it interfered with the actors abilities.

Well that's "Atlas Shrugged" (the novel) in a nutshell for you, given the topic couldn't be any other way really.
I give it 1.5 libertarian fapfaps out of 5.

I consider her writing to be pretty bad. I wonder if its a lost in translation effect. The world has changed so much since she used up that killer title for a drab book about a "no sht" topic. If we had read her book back then it might have been different. Our generation is a lot more advanced.

I might concede that Atlas Shrugged earned a strong Silver Medal in that category..

Conservative blogs were pushing this movie. Previews looked boring

To be fair, it must be really hard to make a dumb ideology into a good movie.

See I don't think it's the ideology...

I think we can all agree that state corruption which is highlighted in the movie is a bad thing.
I think we can all agree that governments colluding with business and business colluding with governments is a bad thing.
I think we can all agree that some people simply get more done than others.

It must be a translation issue regarding the time it was originally written and the language it was written in. They should have brought in talented writers and updated and modernized the story line.

I think it is rather obvious that government needs to work with corporations and business in general. Especially with regard to things like infrastructure, education, trade relations, etc.

Is this in contrast to what I stated?

If it is, Then I don't think you have read the book, seen the movie, are talking about the same thing I am talking about.


To your point - yes, Government should work with corporations for some things instead of trying to do them whole cloth themselves. That seems to be rather obvious...
