Was for me dino years back.
My most conservative of four brothers (one somewhat recently deceased) Christmas gifted me with the DVD AS trilogy.
That led to me dino researching Ayn Rand and stumbling into The Gulch.
As for Juneteenth, I just shrugged.

This inspires me to open and read AS once per year -- or listen to the book on audio (I take in lots of road trip miles).

The trilogy is the best "Hollywood" film version before or since. I'd be happy to see it done even better, but I'm not holding my breath. I love the trilogy and watch it at least once a year.

It's literally not possible to put the 1,200 + pages of AS into 6-7 hours of movie. It just cannot be done. Fortunately, I had some 40 years of reading and re-reading AS before the movies came out, and I knew to expect that they would be substandard (but I was still thrilled to see them!) I did watch as the movies were coming along, the interviews with Peikoff and some of the others involved in making them. They tried really hard to be true to the book, but at some point, you know they had to say "we've done the best we can." They were also hampered by using different actors in the roles, but that also could not be helped. (I have heard that the next several sequels to Avatar, BTW, are all being filmed at once, in order to avoid that problem. But then, Avatar has a couple of nickels more to invest than AS did.)

BUT if they convinced a few people to investigate further "That was an interesting movie, but I wonder what was left out," then they did their job.

I thought it should be a miniseries way back before there was such a thing. I hated the trilogy. Part 1 was good (Taylor Schilling matched my image of Dagny exactly except she was blonde instead of dark-haired) but the cast changes and holes in the plot ruined the rest of it for me.
