An Open Letter to The Producers and Makers of The Atlas Shrugged Movies.
Today, the third installment of your film adaptation will be shown in theaters across the country.
You, I, and many other people on this board are savvy enough to the Marxists' game of fear, uncertainty, doubt, and agitprop to know what comes next: the savaging.
E.g.: as I write this, the http://IMDB.com page for “Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?” displays a section labeled “People who liked this also liked...” which features the documentary “I Am Eleven” - “The lives and thoughts of children from all around the world. It weaves together deeply personal and at times hilarious portraits of what it means to stand on the cusp between childhood and adolescence.”
I was at the Las Vegas premiere.
I saw the movie twice.
While I was there, a thought occurred to me.
The same thought has likely occurred to you as well, but I wanted to make it plain.
It is finished.
Let me repeat this, because it is important, and it is powerful.
It is finished.
With this third installment, the story of Atlas Shrugged has been told– a story which Hollywood and our Ruling Class Marxists did not want to be told, especially on film.
Despite their best efforts to stand in your way, you have built your John Galt Line... to the benefit of us all.
And likewise, their reaction to this last film will be the reaction of Atlas Shrugged's looters to Rearden Metal: its value is irrelevant because it poses a social danger to them.
So, when the savaging begins, and it will begin, please accept it as a badge of honor: anything that our Marxist Ruling Class feels that they must destroy must have some value.
I am confident that, as with the novel itself, as time passes, this value will be recognized.
Your trilogy will remain a part of the Atlas Shrugged legacy for years to come.
It has been my distinct pleasure, honor, and privilege to be a member of these boards since they first went on line, before the making of Atlas Shrugged Part One.
In that time I have learned that there are Midas Mulligans who are willing to finance The Gulch, and that there are Producers of every stripe who see enough value in it to offer their best effort in fair trade.
Thank you for the investment you have made.
I feel humbled that in some small way, it was an investment in me.
