Yes! Those guys! Thanks!

Hello j_IR1776wg,
A most difficult choice... I do not know, but I sure enjoyed the one where John laughs in Mr. Thompson's face...
Overmanwarrior makes mention of this scene in his review too. https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/201...

I miss the Overman...

Regards,
O.A.

Add on Barack Obama doing his best mr. thompson imitation and the imagery becomes perfect:-)

I am another vote for this scene as my favorite. Unfortunately I think the movie format was simply to short and incomplete to get the books full meaning across. This scene at least gave a very brief summary that was understandable.

I agree with this one... This scene practically explains the entire idea of the sanction of the victim in under 2 minutes.

Thank you! I'm glad you got what I was trying to say

True, it is an adaption, and considering all that it takes to make a movie, and especially of a very deep and most philosophically important book, all three "episodes" did fulfill the purpose of "hoping more will read the book" (and hopefully progress to learning about Objectivism).

As to "an in-depth miniseries", it was posted sometime back that such was being considered (15 episodes each year for three years [?])..........which is the only vehicle that could come close to portraying the book "in depth". As an adaption and "interest sparking" vehicle, I believe ASIII did a credible job and enjoyed it as such.

And, again, thank you John A. and all involved for doing what no one else has done before (after 50+ years).

"Rand showed that people who are rational also feel very deeply." Excellent!!!! (and, yes, she certainly did)

Dittos Khalling. I have only watched once and was frustrated. Perhaps I spent to much time comparing it to the book. My wife has not read the book. However she felt it was the best of all three.

Haha! This is exactly what I said aloud when my wife and I were watching the speech. And then a little later on I added I wish the little silhouette sci-fi characters that used to be in the lower right on the old Sci-Fi Theater shows providing commentary on really bad hokey Sci-Fi movies could be added in there.

Got to be when John told the idiots in the torture chamber, "replace the fuse." John has a more technical response in the book but the message is the same: "you guys are idiots."

I was listening for that.

That was my wife's and my favorite part, too.

After watching it a few times, I have come to the realization that this movie should be considered an adaptation of the book, and a good one at that, much like when Shakespeare's plays are presented by various theatrical troupes. Of the thousands of presentations, which is the definitive version? I have the feeling that AS will have countless adaptations over the coming millenia, and wouldn't doubt an in-depth miniseries in not too many years.

What an inspired idea! Word for word right out of ASP3.

That thought always crosses my mind whenever Obama speaks,

Yes I loved that scene too. I also liked Milligan's comments at the reception referring to getting out of lending when he was forced to lend money to people who could not pay him back.

That would be epic!

Would have been cool if John Galt interupted Obama's speach,..... did I say that outloud?

I'd have to say at the vineyard with Akston and Dagny, I had to back it up and listen/digest it a few times, but it hits home!

The best scene that comes to my mind, was in both parts II and III. It is when John Galt comes upon Dagny's plane wreck and introduces himself.

That one sends shivers...

Anything with Dagny and John, showing Dagny's dilemma--and John's, too.

The scene in the vineyard was a great scene, but very intellectual. Rand showed that people who are rational also feel very deeply. I loved the scenes that showed emotion
