Who is John Galt?
Мировая экономика на грани коллапса. Безработица выросла до 24%. Газ стоит $42 за галлон. Блестящие создатели, от художников до промышленников, продолжают загадочно исчезать по неизвестным причинам. Дэгни Таггарт обнаружила возможный путь разрешения проблемы — заброшенную перед кризисом фабрику с необычным мотором, способным дать любое количество энергии для Земли. Но, мотор мертв… Нет более никого, кто бы мог раскрыть его тайну. Но Дэгни не намерена сдаваться — времени осталось немного, а найти изобретателя мотора — означает спасти мир.
"Atlas Shrugged: Part II," released in 2012 by Atlas Distribution Company, is a thought-provoking adaptation of Ayn Rand's iconic novel. Set in a dystopian United States, the film delves into the consequences of government overreach and the stifling of individual innovation. As the sequel to the first installment, it follows the journey of Dagny Taggart, portrayed by Samantha Mathis, as she battles against bureaucratic red tape to keep her family's railroad company afloat. The film's setting in a crumbling America serves as a stark warning about the dangers of collectivism and the erosion of personal freedoms. The narrative of "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" is driven by the mysterious disappearance of the nation's most productive citizens, who are fed up with a system that punishes success. This phenomenon, known as "the strike," is led by the enigmatic John Galt, whose identity remains a tantalizing mystery throughout the film. As Dagny searches for answers, she encounters a series of compelling characters, including the brilliant inventor Quentin Daniels, played by Jason Beghe, and the disillusioned businessman Hank Rearden, portrayed by Grant Bowler. Their interactions highlight the tension between personal ambition and societal expectations, a central theme of Rand's philosophy. Visually, "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" captures the bleak atmosphere of a society on the brink of collapse. The cinematography effectively conveys the decay of infrastructure and the growing sense of despair among the populace. Despite a modest budget, the film manages to create a convincing dystopian world that resonates with the novel's themes. The performances, while varying in quality, are generally earnest and committed, with Samantha Mathis delivering a standout portrayal of Dagny Taggart's determination and resilience. "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" may not have achieved widespread critical acclaim, but it remains a significant cinematic effort to bring Ayn Rand's complex ideas to a broader audience. The film's exploration of individualism versus collectivism, and its critique of government intervention, continue to spark debate and reflection. While it may not fully capture the depth of the original novel, it serves as a compelling visual representation of Rand's vision, making it a noteworthy addition to the canon of films tackling philosophical and political themes.
