Authorial Intent is the idea that maintains that the person who writes a text has a privileged way to understand its meaning and that because of this, any other way in which said text is interpreted and that contradicts this understanding must conform to the author's intentions.
John Green's opinion on authorial intent is that he thinks it is irrelevant and sees the authors as a character more from the book. He supports those who oppose this thinking.

<em>Atlas Shrugged - The Trilogy</em>
You know when you're sick and need something mindless to watch? And the thing you pick turns out to be so terrible that you almost become sicker? That describes the Atlas Shrugged trilogy.
I could spend hours going on about how bad this movie was but here are some of the lowlights.
First off...the cast changes from movie to movie...not the characters the actors playing them. Whether it was because the people making the films were running out of money and the subsequent sequels were budgeted lower grade I don't know but...it was a wee bit off putting.
Secondly...the whole trilogy is shot in some sort of soft focus sort of thing more reminiscent of softcore entertainment from the 90s. Maybe it was intended to make it more sci-fi-ish or something but...again...no clue.
Thirdly...the dialogue. I have never ready Ayn Rand's work nor do I care to but...my god...if these movies are even a faint reflection of her work then it so so heavy handed and over the top that it's more than slightly cringeworthy.
Fourthly the editing was/is atrocious. Characters appear and disappear almost at will. Little explanation is given to motive or...anything.
I freely admit I watched it until the end out of...self loathing or something I don't know but...if you don't want to make yourself even sicker...avoid it at all costs.
