Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Perhaps the most widely read philosopher of the 20th century, Ayn Rand has delighted and infuriated people of all ideologies and, like it or not, has helped to create the political realities we deal with every day. With Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life you can follow her life story, from her childhood in the turbulent years of revolution in her native Russia to her great success as a popular writer and deep thinker in the United States. This comprehensive look at a fascinating woman uses interviews with friends and colleagues, family photos, clips of her speaking, and great moments from the films she wrote to portray a complex, passionate person with the brains to articulate her ideals and the guts to stand up for them. Trying to get work in 1930s Hollywood wasn't easy for such a rabid anti-Communist, but Rand persisted and the tales of her life in the theater, her lifelong relationship with actor Frank O'Connor, and her midlife career change from novelist to political philosopher are both inspiring and dramatic, just as she'd want them to be. --Rob Lightner Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ayn Rand movie suffers from a lack of objectivityThe memorable, and ultimately appalling, thing about Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life,the new film biography of the right-wing novelist-philosopher, is that it is perfectly true to its subject. Just as Rand, who was born in 1905 in Leningrad as it was convulsed by revolution, declared that she had not changed her ideas about anything since the age of 2½, this reverential documentary presents her thoughts as uncontested truth. The evangelical tone is set by filmmaker Michael Paxton, quoted ... Read More Rating:  - More than a glimpseThis documentary regarding Ayn Rand offered a real insight to her life. Very well put together, and a presentation that I will definitely go back and watch several times...or definitely when I am in an individualist, objective state of mind! Rating: - The objectivism of Ayn RandAyn Rand wrote some of my favorite books: The Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged. Born at the beginning of the 20th Century Russia, in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Ayn Rand started to read from the early age of six. By the age of nine, it is said that she knew she wanted to dedicate her life to writing and to philosophy. Russia of the times was focused in collectivism, something Ayn Rand despised. After reading the works of Victor Hugo her character starts to shape. ...

A must see that will shake your world and tickle your soul. It's as profound as diving into the answers towards purposeful living. Rating:  - Ayn Rand: A Sense of HagiographyIt's easy to be critical of Michael Paxton's documentary on Ayn Rand. It was produced with the cooperation of the Ayn Rand Institute (the religious wing of Objectivism headed by Leonard Peikoff) and, as such, presents a one-sided view of Ayn Rand. Particularly disappointing is the documentary's slighting of Nathaniel and Barbara Branden, who played an enormous role in Rand's life from 1950-1968 and were largely responsible for the launch of the Objectivist movement. Nathaniel, of course, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
