Anne C. Heller, Wall Street Journal - Speakeasy Atlas Shrugged movie  |Atlas Shrugged  |Personal life  | It’s safe to say that [Ayn Rand] would not like John Aglialoro’s “Atlas Shrugged: Part I.” The philosophical speeches are missing or truncated, the cast is obscure, and the plot—so carefully constructed and rollicking in the book—is murky. But she would love the movie, too, if she could forget that it was based on her creation: shots of trains and forges and factories and towering offices representing America’s industrial might always thrilled her, and watching the grim determination of those she liked to call “the best” to prevail against the machinations of the incompetent and unworthy always raised her spirits, right up to the end.   Published: 2011-04-22
