Originally published in TIA Daily. I've been surveying the reviews for the movie version of Atlas Shrugged, and I've noticed something odd about them. Most reviews say little about the movie itself and focus instead on criticizing or praising the book. It is as if the reviewer were asked, "So how was the movie?" and answered, "It was a great (or terrible) book." And even then, the reviews are less about the book, or about Ayn Rand's philosophy, than they are about the current political battle between capitalism and socialism.
