- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.
Your current Gulch score:
In AS III I thought Polaha did a decent job of holding up the absolute character of the Galt image. His acting was fluid and, as should be, strength is shown in gentleness since no need for posturing... I think he held his own and gave Galt a very human side. As for Dagny, my personal opinion, this time around was a- no. ASI & ASII had more stamina and strength. I was frustrated that she (Regan) just did not come across with the necessary fire within. On the other hand, I loved the James Taggart guy- perfect for the part! I hope they keep him for an eventual TV series.
Also, ALL the moochers were real sleaz balls! Every one of them played well the part- even President Thompson was so convencing.
Being a theater person and a huge Ayn Rand fan, I would have loved to be an on-site acting coach.
This was mostly just for fun to see what people thought of the different actors across the three movies.

* Neither a lender nor a borrower be...
I'm sure we can pull together a bunch more, extolling the work ethic and defending property rights and being responsible for oneself. The people who need it the most just need to have their memories jogged about these ancient values and the original meaning of social justice.
Did I leave anyone out?
Ragnar, and Mulligan are only in one movie a piece. As far as IMDB is concerned.
Yeah, I'm not sure on the legality of screen captures from the movie, but it could help some people with perspective.
Then of course, I thought all of the actors gave a superior performance, bringing with them the realities of the characters I could only imagine when reading the book.
Thanks everyone!
Now I *am* glad I missed it...
