      really don't understand

      It's rare to stop and watch a movie. I didn't expect that I didn't understand it after more than an hour. I don't know what kind of story I plan to tell, or this part1 is just an introduction. The first feeling after watching it is whether I want to I went to the original book and read it, at least I know what the story is about.
      The Who is John Galt that is repeated in the film is the main reason for me to continue watching. I also want to know who this guy is, if not for this, most of...

      Strongly request not to be on Dagny's childhood memories

      Anyone who has read the original book knows that the beginning of the book is very boring. Except for "Who is, John Galt", the rest is a straightforward story with no highlights, recalled from when Dagny was going to meet Francesco It was only when I was a child that it made people feel bright, and I patiently read the
             movie and deleted this paragraph. I really don't know why, and the image of Dagny's brother is too bad, it should be a sinister Fatty, the literary taste of Li...

      Who the hell is John Galt?

      Banned books, bad reviews but great sales, the genre has always been appealing.
      As the first step in the trilogy, part I, which was only released in 2011, will definitely make audiences who have not seen the original read in a fog. The story that only exposes the tip of the iceberg of the plot has all the viciousness of the digging party before seeing the last two films that are far away. Who the hell is John Galt? Never before has a trilogy been made so ignorant of the audience viewing...

      Who is John Galt?

      In the 2016 oil crisis, the family heritage company Taggart Railway Company, the current president is the eldest son of the family, James Taggart, and the vice president is Dagny Taggart. , James just verbally slammed some investments in the Mexico-San Sebastian branch that had not been evaluated in detail, but did not propose the slightest planning and execution plan, and often viewed things and slandered others with a sour grape mentality that could not see the success of others, He...

      I only read part I, not the novel

      If it is purely about the feelings of the movie, some bridges show that they cannot understand the logic. Just watching part I, I thought it was just about the love story of two entrepreneurs, and I didn't have the urge to watch part II again. The political intrigue inside is a little weaker than the cosmic-level tricks of House of Cards.

    Creation Process

    When Ayn Rand was writing Atlas Shrugged: Part I, the railroad was not only a primary means of transportation, but also guided the development of her thinking and storyline. Since the first part is being completed, there is no need to spend too much time showing the dark side of the world while introducing the characters and building the background; more pen and ink will be put into the second episode of the film. In describing how the...

    • Paul Larkin: They say you're intractable, you're ruthless, your only goal is to make money.

      Henry Rearden: My only goal is to make money.

      Paul Larkin: [whisper] Yes, but you shouldn't say it.

    • Henry Rearden: What is wrong with the world?

      Paul Larkin: Don't ask useless questions. How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who is John Galt?
