Atlas Shrugged, the movie

I'm delighted to hear that Atlas Shrugged is being made into a movie. I would like to find out how they adapt such an intense story and elaborate description into a movie. I just hope they get the idea of the story well. The description will, though, continue to be something to read. A trilogy is planned and the first part is releasing on April 15, 2011. I plan to read up Atlas Shrugged before that once again.

Meanwhile, this is John Galt quoted from the novel 

'The man at the top of the intellectual pyramid contributes the most to all those below him, but gets nothing except his material payment, receiving no intellectual bonus from others to add to the value of his time. The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all their brains. Such is the nature of the competition between the strong and the weak of the intellect. Such is the pattern of 'exploitation' for which you have damned the strong.'

More than just abandoned machinery


...a piece of machinery, abandoned in a corner.... it had not been worn out, it had been rotted by neglect, eaten by rust... I feel a scream of protest against injustice... this is beyond just an old piece of machinery.... Ayn Rand
