I’ve been to many productions both “blockbuster” and independent since 1995 and I’ve yet to see any that I thought had serious integrity. While this new Atlas Shrugged does come off as a bit made for TV, I enjoyed it and thought they did a pretty good job considering the nature of Atlas Shrugged and the nature of their act, delineating Aristolean genius in a way that can be somewhat palatable to the masses of idiots out there. Atlas Shrugged is truly a classical masterpiece, and if you understand the term classical as I do, I think you’ll understand the implications of my defining it as such. Our modern world has lost its Aristocracy and Atlas Shrugged is the final cry of one woman to restore it until we go the way of so many great Republics before us. Today, even those who have the potential for greatness are so self-immolating that they never achieve it. I hope Atlas Shrugged can wake up a few to the ideals that once made Western culture great, but it is too little and too late. Millenia ago Hellenic Jew and Early Christians set out to dismantle Western greatness one chip at a time. Today, our monuments lie in ruins. We have allowed the greatness of Greece and Rome to be replaced by a constant stream of sacrifices. If you understand the Greek, I say its time for one final holocaust. Only this time, let us place Christianity and all of its derivatives upon the altar and consume it in flame for their false god. Maybe then Western men can return to the greatness of their heritage and we can end these years of self-imposed imprisonment to the ideals of bronze age desert nomads.
