Having read Atlas shrugged I do not consider the plot contained in this film to be possible to be based on truth. The woman is simply to brilliant to fall so low. The film is completely without meaning and I would like to argue it was made solely by opposers of rand's philosophy to discredit her. I'm not even kidding, I mean that exactly as I wrote it. It's completely obvious as she is displayed as a complete hypocrite to her own philosophy. Seem to preposterous to be true? That's a trick a lot of people use nowadays. The greater the lie the easier it is to cover up because nobody will believe it. Think 9/11. Every now and then a person comes out with something that is so good, bad people feel it poses a threat to them, so they pull these kind of stunts. They just can't face the contrast of the virtue and brilliance with their own depravity. As an example, on wikipedia it says Ayn Rand used to condemn homosexuality as being evil. That's like the oldest trick in the book next to accusation of racism. This film came out in 1999, more then 15 years after the death of Ayn Rand. If she were to be alive she would never have approved. This is so pathetic and it really makes me angry though maybe I shouldn't be because anyone worthy will feel the same as I do anyway.
