Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand - movie trailer


Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is a brick of a book, weighing in at over 1000 pages. Conservatives have for years pointed to it as a fearfully insightful depiction of the future that is now. Much like George Orwell's 1984 and the "Big Brother" imagery that is playing out before our eyes, this book is depressingly accurate in todays present. While trying to convince someone to read a 1000 page book would be hard in any arena, the actual people who need to hear the message are exactly the ones who can't be bothered to "read" anything. Hopefully this three part movie will be viewed by enough people, and open their eyes wide enough, to keep us from the Rand inferenced end game. I however harbor no expectations. As the book, and now the movie, suggests... political, economic and social obsolescence are upon us.
