Atlas Shrugged, the movie

Advertisements [?]

Was having a conversation with a couple of friends on-line about the movie. One came back with this quote:
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

I was one of those 14 year olds who read Ayn Rand. Fortunately, by the time I got to college I had turned to pretty radical politics.
