Dagney confronts the Union

This movie may be better than I expected.

Yeah, I really didn't have too much hope for it, but it's getting good buzz, and clips and previews look good and true to the spirit of the book.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I was extremely skeptical at first, but I'm really liking the clips I've seen so far.

If it does turn out to be good, it couldn't possibly come at a better time.  It's almost--dare I say--Providential.

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

I'm experiencing conflicting thoughts...on the one hand I am hopeful it is faithful to the original text...on the other I am fearful too many critical elements will be left out or sprinted over...time will tell which view is accurate.
