Hey,
Once again, the die-hard Randians continue their pursuit of bringing Ayn Rand's novel to the screen and once again, I have no real grasp about what they're going on about. For one thing, Dagny Taggart is told that the Taggart Bridge has collapsed due to government regulations and the bridge is part of the Taggart railroad that occupies what would be the center of the story if there in fact was one. How the evil government accomplished this collapse is never explained as much is never explained about much of anything in this passive-aggressive wet dream for the one percenters.
And that's my real complaint about this trilogy: It is utterly incoherent as to who these people are and what they really want. It would be nice for the philosophy to be articulated in some way other than in buzz words, mottos, and accusations. Did Ayn Rand really include a shoot-out -- of sorts -- at the end? Considering that these are the very people -- or people with similar ideas -- that caused the current financial crisis, I think they have some 'splaining to do. It isn't in this mess that has bodies spewing lines instead of characters working on moving the damn thing along. Yes, a mess it tis and too damn bad. There's a movie in there somewhere.
