I don't understand what you are saying but I want to.

Care to tell me what is the message of atlas shruggs and the jungle are?

Since others have explained what those stories are about, the juxtaposition is about the idea of the Ubermensch being the savior of humanity, namely one where the Ubermensch are capitalists, is a dead concept in a world where we've let the capitalists run everything and result is an unmitigated disaster.

Turns out, they just want money and power. That's it, they can't save us. Why is this movie venerating them?

Atlas Shrugged is the conservative wet dream of "what if the rich people that totally do all the work and hold everything together got tired of the poors being so whiny and ungrateful and stopped." It's an-cap fan fiction.

The Jungle was a book exposing the nightmares of the industrial revolution, especially in the meat packing industry.
