Saw Atlas Shrugged Part 1, Last night.

So happy the Producers and Director pulled it off. Obviously to make it into a movie, they had to cut ton's of background, just for the sake of time, they also shifted some of the scenes around, but the way they did it worked. What they didn't cut was the underlying story. It is still a story about competence and ability and passion, versus those that just take without contribution. In short they kept the philosophy instead of just making it about a train executive.

I was wondering how they were going to make it in the present day, but they were able to sell it in the opening and create the buy in needed. Taylor Schilling was Solid as Dagny and Grant Bowler was Excellent as Reardon.

As usual, the book is of course, better, but like the book, the movie is intriguing and interesting enough so that when you are done reading, or the film is over, you are left wanting more. Ayn Rand has been dead for about 29 years now, but her voice comes through in the movie. I believe she would have approved.

I will no doubt see it again and I urge others as well. It is good value for your movie going dollars and if they can make money on it, and it does well, hopefully Part 2 will have a bigger budget and they will be able to make it even better.
