ayn rand isn't a complete waste of time, but you have to take her books with an ENORMOUS grain of salt. i appreciate them for encouraging ppl to be individuals, but everything they have to say about individuals functioning within society is extremely problematic. the biggest problem i have with the idea of making her stuff into movies is the fact that a movie version would gloss over everything. it wouldn't encourage a person to look at her philosophies critically.
I've watched this trailer twice. I don't know why. It is one of those trailers where I feel like I've seen the whole movie just from watching the teaser. I also noticed that anyone who stands in the way of the statuesque, super-capitalist ubermensches is either fat and ugly or fat and ugly and jewish-looking.
