the movie was originally set to open only in a dozen small "art" theaters in a few big cities. That was about six weeks ago. Then something remarkable happened. I don't think it's remarkable at all, when you consider that the novel it's based on was published in 1957 and still remains on best seller lists more than half a century later. Like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going.. I suspect that this Atlas movie will be quite a financial success for its creators and that as a result, the production of the next two segments will reap the benefits. The core message of Atlas shines such a beacon for freedom, liberty and personal responsibility, the best of humanity, in so many ways, that any perceived flaws in the novel or its author (and there are some), pale in comparison. If this country is to have any sort of future growth and prosperity, it will be due in large part to embracing Ayn Rand's clear vision of the conditions necessary for achieving same.. BTW, I find it rather amusing that the statists in the MSM and places like the lefty boards here on SI are treating the release of this movie either with silence (mostly) or condescending derision..
