In defense of ASIII

" I swear by my life and my love of it...."
I saw ASIII last week in NYC. No theaters are showing it in upstate NY (Rochester) and I was in NYC on Nursing Association meeting business for our State association.
There were many generally critical negative comments commenting about the simplicity or triviality of the production (my assessment of the comments). There were minimal complements.
I think it is FANTASTICALLY APPROPRIATE for what I believe to be the target audience. Producers didn't have unlimited resources.
That audience has not spent years studying Rand and Peikoff. et.al.
ASIII presents the essential messages of Objectivism to an audience essentially uninformed of these ideas. They production comes across in a beautiful and effective and even believable (for the most part) portrayal of our values. The actors are excellent in their roles.
It is very difficult to communicate our values to those only believing today's big government ideas and ideas focused on collectivism that are generally held in our altruistic (is it supposed to be religious?) society today.
Recall the password to the power station in the Gulch.
Congratulations.. Can't wait for the DVD.
