After watching the "Atlas Shrugged" movie trilogy, I went back and read the epilogue of the last two parts of the original book. found that the movie is still very faithful to the original book on the whole, and the key lines are missing some details of interpretation, and then the original book is so straightforward at the end: the top 1% of the elites who went on strike actually succeeded in "rebelling"!

The engine of the country's advance was withdrawn, and Atlas, the god who carried the earth, shook his shoulders, and it really made the United States lie down.

After the elites left the increasingly chaotic reality that disappointed them to live in the secluded valley of utopia, the real American industry is in turmoil, traitors are in charge, and the decrees and bills issued appear to protect the public interest, but in fact they are harmful to the public. The real world then went to the collapse of the social system.

At this time, the heroine, as a female elite in the corporate world, also gave up the idea of leading the ancestral railway company to turn the tide, and turned to the ultimate male protagonist - the technological and spiritual leader of the elite utopian world. They led the 1% of the elite out of the valley and back into the real world, leading them to recreate the United States under the values of freedom, as they did in the founding days of their ancestors. Positive attack.

They will rebuild high-speed railways, restart new energy motors, re-upgrade the institutional arrangements and guarantees of individual freedoms and rights, reconstruct the mode of cooperation, the financial system, close the loopholes of the past, and solve the phenomena and problems of the road to slavery under capitalism. Just like they tried in Utopia.

This ending is very bold, and it deserves to be a sci-fi suspense ending. The idea is good, the brain hole is big, the situation and psychological portrayal of the elite characters when the cave brother is raised is meticulous, the plot is detailed and the rhythm is not impatient, and it is a great masterpiece.

It's just that this ending can't help but make people in reality worry and doubt that it is difficult to achieve. The main reason is that these elites have several difficulties that are difficult to overcome in reality: first, the veteran politicians, and second, the US military, the military elite does not go to utopia much, and the army often does not listen to propaganda like the public, relying on three views and intuition to act; The third is the remaining vested interests, when the Mayflower came to the East Coast of the United States, when the American sages started their businesses, the main people living on this continent were some backward indigenous Indians and immigrants from all over the world, which were easier to deal with, but in the 20th century, when these modern elites started their own businesses, they were faced with the vested interest groups accumulated in the past one or two hundred years, even if they were social moths, stupid and bad, not as good as the elites in utopia, but as villains, the power was also superior.

Therefore, it is good for this work to enlighten people, revealing that the contradictions and games between the individual and the collective, the state and the federal, the public and the administrators in the United States are enduring and deep. It can foreshadow some future problems and compromise solutions. It is the beautiful fantasy of some elites in the United States, which in the end cannot be realized.

I spent a day at home on Sunday and two nights before going to bed to finish the 690-page "Atlas Shrugged."

I pride myself on reading books, but at 690 pages, this is probably the first time I've read such a thick chunk, how to say, after reading it, I am willing to forget to sleep and eat.

Many of the characters that appear in the book are not worth mentioning. The heroine Dagni. Taggart, the two male protagonists Hankry. Erden and Francisco. D'Anconia is the three protagonists who run through the book.

Growing up together, Dag and Francisco developed a crush on each other as teenagers and became each other's favorites. And Francisco left the heroine because of the family business. After adulthood, the heroine and Reardon fell in love with each other, and under the pressure of the man's marriage, they only dared to have a tryst in the heroine's house.

In fact, the two male hosts also have a good impression of each other.

The protagonist in this book is passionate about his career and solves one irreversible dilemma after another. They are completely dismissive of the secular view of the world, and are obsessed with their own inner pursuits. Reading this book is like watching a wonderful suspenseful reasoning, watching them solve one puzzle after another, and just wanting to applaud them.

Looking forward to reading the next volume.

In a note written by Mrs. Rand on June 27, 1946, entitled "Galt's Relationship with Other Figures," she briefly explains what Galt meant to each character.

——— ideal for Dagni. It is the answer to her two pursuits: both a genius and a person she admires.

The first quest manifested itself through her search for the inventor of the engine. The second is manifested through her growing belief that she will never fall into the ...... of love

To R Earden – a friend. This understanding and appreciation is something he has always needed but didn't know he needed (or he felt he had got——— he had looked for in the people around him, his wife, mother, and siblings).

To Francisco D'a nconia) – aristocracy. The only person who challenged and inspired him ——— was almost the "kind of audience that belongs to him". Just having such joy and color in life is enough to make people dizzy.

To Denis Yord (D Anneskjold) - dependent. For this restless and reckless wanderer, he was the only one who represented the land and his roots, like a desperate target, a port after a mad voyage to sea——— the only person he could respect.

——— inspiration for composers and great listeners.

For the philosopher——— the embodiment of his abstract results.

To James Targgart – eternal threat, mystical fear, shame, guilt (his own sins). He had no particular connection to Galt——— but he had that constant, unprovoked, inexplicable, hysterical fear. He became aware of this fear after he heard Galt speak and met him for the first time.

The one who ——— his conscience, his shame, and the reminder of him, the ghost that torments him all the time, and says "no" to his life.

In a family inheritance of the Tague railway company, the current president is the eldest son of the family, James Tagutt, and the vice president is Dagney Taggart, the brother and sister in order to save the company's precarious operation, the ideas and methods can be said to be very different, one only verbally muttered about some investment in the Mexico-San Sebastian branch line that has not been evaluated in detail, but did not put forward the slightest plan and implementation plan, often looking at things and slandering others with the mentality of sour grapes that cannot see the success of others; The other started with "I'm like a hungry maniac going to anyone who can get things done!" "In order to save the Taggart Railway Company, the hard work with Eddie Willers and the hard work of the Burning Paste Dial, in order to successfully complete the railway branch line of Rio Not, we found Hank Reardon of Reardon Steel to cooperate, and used the new alloy just invented by Reardon as the rails, but I did not expect to successfully build the railway branch line of Rio Not, but it was another unfortunate beginning.
