Atlas shrugged, I speak for myself

I borrowed a full set of books, but turned the first 30 pages and couldn't read any more. I feel like my reading ability is getting more and more unbearable to read long novels. I turned a few pages in the front, and there were a lot of people's names. When I saw the back, I couldn't tell who was who. So gave up. I saw this film on Xiaomi TV, and I clicked it directly. It seems that it is not complete. There are only the first two, and the third one is directly found online.

First make yourself feel about the movie: classic but not great. Ayn Rand's novels are almost a household name in the United States, and can be regarded as classic novels named after Gatsby. The classics are often the hardest to shoot, and everyone's expectations have reached a very high level. That's basically all 3. Let’s talk about the plot first. It’s really a bit utopian. The big government wants to nationalize all industries. In this case, the railway operating company is the only remaining non-state-owned profit-making enterprise, and the person in charge of the enterprise seems to be a head. The second generation of the unreliable, his sister (the heroine) started a crisis rescue plan for the company. The whole content is like that.

The first, the failure of the railway company's investment, was nationalized overseas, and it was also difficult at home. The heroine builds a new railway by finding new materials, and flirts with the boss of a steel-making company. In the second part, the domestic political power masters expand, and more enterprises are nationalized. The railway company also faces the risk of being included, and the heroine Liding avoids being included. At the same time, more elites advocating a free economy disappeared for no apparent reason. In the third part, the heroine's plane crashed unexpectedly and ended up in a paradise, where the elites who disappeared from the original world gathered here. They lived in a free way in this world, and the heroine quickly adapted to the life here. The reality has to let the heroine return to the real world after a period of time, she has to deal with the things she should deal with. The switch between the real world and Xanadu makes the heroine feel uncomfortable, but she can handle it with the help of everyone.


All the three parts are about the importance of the free market, and also about being an entrepreneur, you have to take risks all the time, you can’t have peace all the time, you need a sense of crisis all the time, and you need to have a sense of crisis all the time. deal with the present.

After the movie is over, you should re-read the book. Recommended index, let Samsung die.
