The opening to this film is similar to what happened to me after i got back from working in Japan, the NYC animation "Open Minded" Liberals hated everything i accomplished. Now after 12 years in the biz I'm about 10 days in any direction of being destitute. Why so much hate from you liberals is beyond me. Rand it a nerve with you people.
For starters, Warner Brothers should have hired a writer or two who could write dialog. William Faulker and Leigh Brackett could have made this sound like the real American workplace. Ayn Rand writes dialog as if she has lived in a cave all her life. Not even in the 1930s USSR did people actually talk this way. It's not dialog, it's points.
Ive come here to watch this because of Ayn rand supporters saying you dont understand because you havent read the book,i suspect the arguements will be strawman.
Her book and philosophy is air tight, for the most part. If you don't want to understand, don't bother. You won't.
I started off disliking it, but I had no idea of how perfect it all really was. Anyone who understands it and dislikes it still, seemingly, must be evil.
@orchidtender Knowing her she'd probably say she payed into it so she should get it back. Or even if she hadn't paid into it she'd say she should take it because she can.

I understand where you are coming from., However, after years of owning my own businesses while working a full time job in the government. I think that Ayn Rand taking advantage of collecting social security and sor forth makes sense.
She paid taxes ever since she moved to the United States. She paid into social security and medicar. Her view is, since she was FORCED to pay into it... better it be used by her than to allow those funds to be misspent by the governent.
Gary Cooper was made for this role. I enjoyed the film as much as the book. The Enright House scene is wonderful

Just wanted to point out that this movie belongs to Warner Brothers (Copyright © 1949 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.), so, here a copyrighted work is being posted to the internet for all to view for free. Doesn't this fly in the face of the central message of the movie/book and Ayn Rand's philosophy? Granted, no one is profiting from this posting, but, Warner Brothers is losing money on something they clearly own. Just sayin'.

@JosiahSCooper Guess im evil,i found it all strawman,and ayn rand always only shows the possible positives of her philosophy,never the negatives.

@Whatever4690 she also collected Social Security and Medicare when it suited her. So there's that. I guess reality trumped her fantasy-world.

@BelieveIt1051 if she hadn't paid into she wouldn't have said she should take it because she can. Why do you say she would say that?
