    @trha2222 I quote from the book (p.27 in the paperback version):
    Dagny: "When I see things, I see them." - Jim Taggart: "What did you see?" - Dagny: "Rearden's formula and the tests he showed me."
    The kinds of test the union guy wants is government tests. The government refuses to test Rearden Metal because it will undercut steel production, because it is better. That's the scenario in the book - you decide whether it's realistic or not, but that's the situation in the scene you saw.

    This scene is a good why of revealing people's biases. Inevitably people assume that the metal was untested based off the union reps say so and that Dangy is endangering peoples by forcing them to make a dangerous run by threatening their jobs.
    The truth is the metal is tested and the union rep in endangering the jobs of the employees by trying to force them not to make the run when they are all willing to do so, which would force the company under.

    As it is the scene offers no info on who is right, and the only things that make Dangy out to be the bad guy are are fear mongering and personal attacks which are not valid. But yet, people repeatedly assume what the union rep said is right based off of false assumptions.

    • @BenkaiDebussy
      @BenkaiDebussy 6 лет назад

      If it wasn't right, Taggart should have said as such. It's logical to err on the side of assuming things are untested until proven otherwise (and such proof should be provided by a third party, rather than the corporation itself, for obvious reasons).

    There was a massive propaganda campaign against the metal and a running theme in the book is people being led astray by rejecting rational thought and following feels instead. So like the repeated assumptions by posts that the metal was untested based off of second hand info, the union committee likely did the same thing, or was trying to leverage a patoff.

    What's funny is that this scene is exactly what's wrong with film adaptations of this novel. The metal WASN'T "untested".
    Calronmoonflower was correct in that in the novel this whole thing was just a big public smear campaign with nothing to back it up. BUT-the public didn't even CARE that there was nothing to back it up except ignorant opinions from people who didn't know what they were talking about. One of the major themes in the novel is people not questioning anything that comes from "the people's representation". I'm actually surprised that this scene was made to fail so badly in the movie. The way they put it here, you can see why the union guy took the approach he did. Sloppy sloppy!

    Very true. Every single one of the 'looters' in that book were almost cartoonish in their incompetence. This is what happens though when one writes a bad narrative based on their own narrow world view.
    She went to almost pathological levels to de-humanize anyone who didn't fall in line with her own world view. It betrays a severe lack of understanding of the human condition.

People are more important than profit. Period. Yeah I know it's not 'forced' and she is asking for volunteers, but that is still, in my opinion, wrong because again they haven't tested it.

      Alex Hightower The metal was tested etc. It's just that it has been tested by the company who built it rather than the state and thus the union members who's trains etc run on old metal were afraid of Dagny taking over with the improved metal and thus were seeking the sanction of the state to prohibit the metal from being put into use.
      It would be sort of like a labor union of horse carriage men trying to stop the selling of newly invented cars by trying to have horse carriage people test the car for safety even though clearly the horse carriage people would do everything to prove the car is unsafe as anything else would put them out of business.

    • @iamgabrielf
      @iamgabrielf 10 лет назад +9

      The context of the book is determined by the author, not the critic. The context is made very clear by members of the Science Institute that it is an "excellent smelting ore." The metal is tested and proven to work better than other metals, and the reason for the skepticism is not scientific, but political; something else made very clear by the author. You can claim that the metal didn't work, but your claim is completely unrelated to the story written by Ayn Rand. Read the book and you'll understand that your claim that ore was untested is incorrect. Therefore, there is no reason to not use the metal. It is better and cheaper, but it will put the current industry out of business and they, therefore, step up the bribe activity to keep themselves in business. Read the book before you open your mouth.

    • @iamgabrielf
      @iamgabrielf 10 лет назад +4

      Andreas Andersen
      The conversation is not happening outside of Rand's book. It's happening inside of the book because it's in the book. How many times do people have to explain this? The book clearly identifies the metal as being good and government agencies refusing to recognize it. The science is already been proven in the book. The most disturbing part about your comments is that you fail to recognize the errors and corruption in government agencies. Have you ever heard of the FDA or SEC? Pharmaceutical companies and investment banks use them as shields against criminal prosecution. If a drug is FDA approved, the pharmaceutical company can doctor studies, kill patients and the worst that happens to them is a fine. Investment banks can falsify research, make false promises to investors (ever heard of the derivatives scandal?) and they only get fined. No one goes to jail when a government agency "approves" of the behavior. Your heroic government agencies did not prevent the collapse of 2008. They did not prevent Vioxx from killing 60,000 patients. They do not prevent the 6000 weekly deaths in hospitals due to prescription errors. What in the world makes you think that all you have to do to make us safe is hire a bureaucrat? How much evidence will it take to convince you that government agencies are just as fallible as greedy industrialists? And the difference is that if there is no government agency giving its papal blessing to the behavior, the corporate executives won't go to jail or lose their companies. Capitalism works much better if there are no government agencies approving corporate mistakes.

    Awful writing (the blame for which lies with Ayn Rand considering how faithful it was to the source), poor direction, terrible movie. The characters are one dimensional and inconsistent. The plot is a criticism of idiotic strawmen, too busy making ridiculous political points to even be a decent story. There's a reason they had to recast the roles every time & had to ironically ignore the market's rejection and resort to kickstarter to finish its story glorifying capitalism.

  • @calronmoonflower

    Actually in the book it is proved how the metal behaves. Not only did Hank run tests on the metal before marketing it, but is was in use for quit some time and new processes to where developed to work it, because its properties being different required new methods based on those properties.
    Also the bridge itself was build to be able to handle two trains at the same time, so it is way over specs for a single train.

  • @calronmoonflower

    Also the videos "Dangy Confronts James" and "Rearden metal is not for seal" (IIRC the name right) adds more info.

Also if you read the book, it turns out that every member of the union they could reach volunteered for the run and the delay would have put them all out of work..

    The scientists did not test it. That is the problem, they did not base their conclusion on reason, but their not wanting to believe that the metal could do what it was claimed to be able to do. That is why they where "skeptical" rather than saying that the tests show that the metal was bad.
    Also the film did not cut the mention of the tests and I already gave you the scene where they are mentioned. Both "Dangy Confronts James" and "Reardon Metal Is Not For Sale" have info and are on youtube.

    I seem to have misremembered the timeline, Dangy asked for volitiers after the UR spoke up, but the sceeen in the book shows not only overwhelming support Dangy got from the union memebers, but they cheered as well.

    That illustrates what logical problems unions suffer.

    @fitzdraco You're not only assuming that the book says that the looters and moocher deserved to die which it didn't, you also moved the goal post from the statement that they died BECAUSE they where looters and moochers.

    I recently talked to a fellow who had starred in several old western movies. He said that membership in the screen actors' guild was compulsory after playing bit parts the first movie or two. He joined and continued his movie career. At first the dues were $25 per year, but after several years, they had jumped to over $250 per year.
    My hunch is that the Atlas Shrugged movie was made with union personnel. Or did by some miracle, was it made entirely union-free?

    @trha2222 She rides in the first engine on the line. Also, the metal is very well tested as I recall, people just don't admit it.

    @429cj - ask the people of the gulf coast if they'd be back out in the gulf, working for BP, drilling for oil, if BP could get the permits to do so.

    @trha2222 You said it "made" $10 per screen. With 300 screens that would be $3,000 profit. The total that the movie took in so far is $1,676,917 or $5590 per screen.

    @free2contemplate In posting the video to my FB page, I did a copy/paste of your comment with it. Good stuff!

    1). That is not the test that wass asked for. You asked that they redo what has been done, decause people choose to ignore it.
    3). That part was cut from the movie, but I brought it up before. In the book right after this, she gets the list of volinteers that asked for before the UR spoke up.
    3a). She never said that they couldn't work if they choose not to work on thaty rain. Also they should have had access to the public info on the subject and whatever objection the UR brought up.

    @trha2222 Didn't the movie open on too few screen for it to even be possible to get in the top ten?

    The science fiction comedy of the year, ladies and gentlemen. I don't think I've ever seen satire portrayed so straight faced as it is in this film.
    Wha-? The movie's message is sincere?
    Oh.
    Oh god. D:

    Except for the bizarre window frames in the background (gee, who designed those archaic-looking windows?), this scene is quite impressive. As for Dagney, "you go girl!"

    @MrTamzah74 If you read the book, you'll find out that the metal had been extensively tested, but a national science group (financed by the steel industry) falsely claimed that the tests were invalid.

    @LexPhilogus Johnny Evers, a second baseman from the early 20th century, once said: "A ballplayer has two reputations, one with the other players and one
    with the fans. The first is based on ability. The second the newspapers gives him." Be careful of popular 'reputation', after all, the #2 grossing movie of 2011 was the Transformers movie.

    @mustang607 That reminds me of a major plot in a book I read. It was called "Atlas Shrugged".
