Atlas Shrugged Part I is a Masterpiece!

Atlas Shrugged is a fantastic movie. I rate it 10 stars plus. It’s actually as good as the book, which is an achievement that rarely happens. Thus, by reading the non-stop negative reviews, you can discern the almost complete and total bias of the mainstream media towards socialism and AGAINST freedom and capitalism.

Atlas Shrugged is an independent film, made for “only” $10 million (according to some sources), and is being self-distributed. Fast Five, the current box office champ, by comparison may have cost $150 million according to Hollywood Reporter. So, for 1/15th the cost, Atlas Shrugged is the clear winner, the underdog story, and the movie that actually means something. Atlas Shrugged could not have been done any better considering the constraints.

Atlas Shrugged is a huge book. Have you ever seen a movie based on a huge book succeed? Have you seen the Stephen King movie flops: Maximum Overdrive and Pet Cemetery? It’s not easy to turn an opus into a movie. Few are ever successful.

Kudos to John Aglialoro, a businessman, CEO, Chairman of a Company, and a poker champion for buying the film rights to Atlas Shrugged and making it happen. John Aglialoro is an American Hero.

Kudos to the screenwriters: John Aglialoro and Brian O’Toole. When I entered the movie theater all I could think about was: How are they going to handle this or that from the book? These two collaborators did a great job. With director Paul Johansson, the trio turned a literary masterpiece into a movie masterpiece, which is almost impossible to do.

Major Kudos to Graham Beckel, the actor who plays oil tycoon Ellis Wyatt. He’s terrific, as they are all, but he suffers against liberal Hollywood. About Hollywood he says, “Nobody talks to me anymore.” He also said, “…I’ve stopped working since I did Hannity.” One senses that freedom of speech is only okay in Hollywood when it’s not about freedom or liberty. His brother is a prominent democrat, so family events must be very awkward.

The first time I saw it, I thought the movie was great. It exceeded all expectations. I was stunned by how good it was for a low-budget, independently made, and distributed movie. I sat and watched all the credits. Most of us - strangers - in the theater got up after it was over and talked to each other about how amazing it was.

I’m going to see it again, and I never see movies twice. I literally can’t wait for Atlas Shrugged Part II, and Atlas Shrugged Part III. Finally, we have something that might reach the younger generation and wake them up as to how their power is being taken from them. See it two or three times yourself. Buy some tickets on the way out to support the cause of liberty and give them away. Buy the DVD when the movie theater run is over. Rent it from NetFlicks. This film is destined to be a classic.

Atlas Shrugged was so popular in Sebring, Florida that it is being held over for another week! You will not hear many good things in the “lamestream media” about Atlas Shrugged, because the movie supports freedom and liberty. So, at the very bottom, I list a few glowing reviews that I have seen.

I have to leave you with one remaining thought. Who is John Galt?
