Review of Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011) by Alexander M — 12 May 2018

I have read this book many times and the movie is as close to being accurate as a movie based on a book could be. The actors were perfect in their roles.

I don't think this is a movie you can just watch without knowing the general content and be willing to see it as it is. If you differ politically from a capitalist free-market society you will probably hate every minute. Please don't watch and bring the views down.

I'm not a very political minded person but I feel like I ought to be doing something more everyone I read or watch this story. This COULD happen without the secret Atlantis-society to come back and pick up the pieces.

The heroes aren't heroes, they are hard working man and women who want to be acknowledged and rewarded for their work. Done are a$$holes, but they aren't in the market to sell themselves, just the fruits of their labor.

In this world everyone is supposed to work as hard as they can. The money is divided and the biggest probs are given to those that need it most. So, the guy with the health problems from smoking his whole life and can't work as hard as the healthy guy next to him will get a larger paycheck. The guy with 8 kids obviously needs more money than the bachelor next to him even though he's often late and tired from the newest baby screaming all night.

Not fair.

The only part about movie I struggle with and it's a book thing too, is that it's set in 2016 with the look, ideas, and mannerisms of the 40s.
