In this video essay, I force myself to sit through all three movie adaptions of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged for vague but deeply concerning reasons.

I have a different and equally terrible interpretation of the line telling atlas to shrug. The movie is about how rich powerful people all earned their money and the government is oppressing them somehow, and this story is suggesting that atlas should not bear the weight of the world and instead shrug the earth off his shoulders. The shrug is interesting. He's not to throw it or drop it or stand up, he's told to just shrug the world off. A sign of apathy. The message of this section is "kill humanity with your apathy to other peoples lives, it's your right as a rich person".

Atlas shrugged keeps you hooked with the missing people mystery and VERY slowly drip feeding clues, so that being the earliest reveal in the film is maybe the dumbest thing about it

The only way any of the beliefs extolled in these movies work even slightly is by stapling something on. They can't argue that charity work is bad, so they staple on "The charity worker is a bad person though." They can't argue that the billionaires at the top matter to the business, so they staple on "So when they leave for Rapture they destroy all the infrastructure as they leave." They can't argue that government regulation is bad, so they staple on "But the government are engaging in sabotage." Also, the stapled on bits for 1 and 3 are just "They're greedy", which the movie argues is a good thing anyway, but logical consistency is the third least likely thing for a libertarian to show. The second is the capacity to learn and the first is an attraction to consenting adults. (The book, and other books by Rand, portray rape Positively.) (I'm sure the age of consent in Galt's Gulch is "That's commie speak, now come see this child I bought.")

The reason the novel Atlan Shrugged keeps going on about railroads is it was published in the 1950s, when railroads were still an important thing in the USA, harking back to the era of railroad tycoons and steel mills of the 1900s. The scriptwriters who set the movie in 2016 should really have updated that to tech companies or whatever.

Someone needs to make a Starship Troopers-esque parody of Atlas Shrugged. Like, in the first chapter with the red light, have it turn out that there's a collapsed bridge up ahead, and have Dagny use literal magic to float the train across the gap. With the train conductor looking at her in baffled amazement remarking about how if there wasn't a wizard on board everyone would be dead. Have the secret ingredient in Rearden metal be pixie tears, and have John Galt's perpetual motion machine work by draining energy from unstable portals to hell. We're going DOOM, baby. John Galt's entire plan hinges on a headband created using the still beating heart of a succubus what allows him to mind control people on a whim.

...This is what we are supposed to argue against?? Jesus Christ. The rich "strikers" didn't do any of that. They did not impose their values on anyone, in fact, they subscribed to the values of everyone. By rendering their mind useless, which what was deemed "evil", and then working on jobs of the exact opposite nature, like being a Janitor and thus work not to accumulate wealth which is selfish greed. The "attacking" ships is Ragnar putting the "enemy's" values against them, which is might, guns and power. He realized that the enemy is imposing their values on them not just through political pressure, but with muscles. And so decided to subscribe to that idea, by throwing hands with them and giving them their values. And to answer this braindead take in a literal interpretation, no, he did not kill anyone. He always send warning on ships through radio, to give time for the crew to leave through lifeboats.

I just found your channel and thank god someone did a video on Atlas Shrugged, so I don't have to include it in my own Ayn Rand video. I study history and took a course called "Libertarianism in Denmark and The US", where we were allowed to hand in our exam that semester in video format. I was only allowed a max of 13 mins tho, so I didn't have the time to get into Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead back then, even though it could have been obvious since my legal name happens to be Atlas. I did it on her knock-off 1984, "Anthem" which is a 100 pages about.... a post-apocalyptic world where the word "I" is illegal... it was teeth pulling to read. I'm taking notes for my Ayn Rand 2.0 video! I hope I never have to read anything by Ayn ever again.

Dangy Taggert is the worst Mary Sue to ever exist. This video has reminded me of the first part of the book where she makes the train not be delayed by... Telling the worker that it won't be delayed. Fantastic. The fact THAT was written by an adult. It has the same energy as me thinking that traffic jams were caused by someone driving slowly at the front when I was a kid. Thank you for suffering for us.

How is she a Mary Sue exactly? Because she's a god when it comes to making decisions for the railroad? But that is her literal field of expertise, that is where she is the best at. Is IP Man, suddenly a Mary Sue because this renowned god tier fighter wins every fight? No Dagny isn't a Mary Sue because aside from anything related to the rail-road, she fucking sucks. She has no idea how to socialize, she couldn't connect the dot of the inventor of the motor and John Galt-because she's not a detective, and not a Mary Sue to suddenly just make the connection despite not having knowledge or expertise in detective work. She never went into a debate nor win any, because she's not a philosopher. She did not invent anything, she couldn't stop anyone from vanishing, need I say more? And to answer your braindead statement. Dagny did not stop the train from being delayed by telling the worker it won't be delayed. She stopped it from being delayed by making an action, making a decision, and enforcing it in her name on the spot and taking sole responsibility. Which prior to that, if you paid attention, which you clearly didn't, we have seen characters avoiding responsibilities, decisions, and actions. James Taggart and the railroad staff, they all were not doing anything, as if there's something to go wrong, they'll be blamed. It's to always not do something, and to let someone make decisions. We saw that their plan was to wait for the broken red signal to go green, which will get them late, why? Because it's inaction, it's waiting, it's to not do anything. The fact that this is written by an adult, with a working brain.

When I saw this movie (with no knowledge of the book), after watching the main characters for the first half hour I still assumed it was a movie that started out exploring the bad guys. "interesting!" I thought. Imagine my disappointment and confusion when it dawned on me that these terrible, boring people with no motivations other than their own vanity, were actually the protagonists!! There's literally nothing at stake in the entire movie except some profits for some rich people. My only criticism of objectivism (other than that the world would be terrible if people adhered to it) is that it is an incredibly boring way to look at the world.

It would be really interesting to see an Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead adaptation that deviates from the book *just* enough to completely bastardize the themes and demonstrate how absurd objectivism really is. You’d also probably need to cut a good bit to make it not an absolute chore to watch (not that there’s a lack of extraneous material to choose from)

Then society cracks and begin to collapse due to the widespread poverty, rampant crime and drug problems, as the rich sit in their gilded homes.

She criticized Republicans of her day for being anti-abortion, for instance, and didn’t believe in God. So premarital sex probably didn’t bother her.

Yeah, Ayn Rand was so serious about "individual liberty" that she, while she was married, had a blatant affair with a guy from her cultish followers commune (who I might add was also married), _and then_ told her husband and her lover's wife that they should feel honored because as the world's greatest mind she, Ayn Rand, was of course entitled to such affairs. When her own husband then had an affair with another woman, Ayn Rand flew into a rage and expelled him from the commune.

I can't say I'm a big fan of Rand's fiction, preferring to read her non-fiction instead. Ayn Rand made the wrong choice to represent her ideas in fictional form. If you must read 'Atlas Shrugged', then balance it out with another example of political fiction, such as 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' by Robert Tressell.

Where did the inventor of the kinetic energy engine end up and what would be Dagne's brother's next stupid decision. I'm on the left, but if you invest in the story and the characters' point of view, I can get irritated with the government censoring artists, destabilizing companies, preventing technology development and destroying the economy. I know that's not how it works in real life, but it's a kind of suspension of disbelief similar to what I have when I read fantasies.

Owen, I must correct you. I'm not conservative or objectivist, but I have to defend conservatives from your repeated implication that Objectivism is at all conservative. It is absolutely not. Objectivism is objectively radical, bordering on nihilism but at the same time utopian. Rand despised conservatives and conservative institutions like religion and traditional hierarchies like patriarchy (she despised almost everything and everyone, tbf). Objectivism is probably even more radical than communism, and the pols who are influenced by her are not conservatives, they just call themselves that to win votes. Conservatives are basically timid, fearful folk, valuing group loyalty and resistant to change. Romantic but hard-headed. Objectivists are .... well, you know .... psychopaths. I love your snark, but I'm serious here and I think it's important to make this distinction

I have read the book. It felt cathartic to listen to this review. The book is terrible in almost all of the same ways the movies are terrible

The fact that anyone could look at America and think the main problem in that country is a lack of corporate control, and limits being placed around capitalism, is fucking repulsive.

Even if you like Ayn Rand's work... These movies are still OBJECTIVELY bad.
