I just assumed that it was obvious to everyone but apparently not. Bioshock is a gigantic troll against libertarianism. You realize that right?
Edit- Reading that again, I think you did in fact realize that, and I agree. It makes the glaring flaws of her ideology very clear to everybody. :) |
I don't mean to derail the thread and turn this into a political argument, but an objectivist would say that the society of Rapture failed because it didn't follow their principles. Obviously it was founded on them - Andrew Ryan's "welcome" speech could have come straight out of Atlas Shrugged, but as soon as he tried to control others' lives everything went to hell in a hand basket. To switch sides, someone who didn't believe in objectivism would say that the rampant competition and drive to be better was what caused the development of plasmids and tonics, and what drove the people mad. From my play through of the game I didn't get the impression that the developers were picking a side, merely exposing the ideology and trying to elicit thought.
Back on topic, I think a Bioshock movie could have great potential, but it could also flop severely if handled poorly. I for one, want to know how they will treat the little sisters, if the movie follows the game that is.
