Atlas Shrugged: Part 1 — A Movie Review

Rand is a bit disappointed. She wants to testify on the communist undertones of “The Best Years of Our Lives” – a popular, Oscar-winning piece of cinema – but HUAC only allows her to testify about “Song of Russia,” a propaganda piece released to assuage Americans’ suspicions about temporarily allying with the Soviet Union in the latter days of World War II. Rand is a firecracker, an acolyte of untainted capitalism, and a scathing critic of “Song of Russia.” She posits that the film, a false portrayal of a happy Soviet Russia, dupes the American public.
