Fountainhead Roark/Dominique- She's So High

"It was an act that could be performed in tenderness, as a seal of love, or in contempt, as a symbol of humiliation and conquest. It could be the act of a lover or the act of a soldier violating an enemy woman.
He did it as an act of scorn. Not as love, but as defilement. And this made her lie still and submit. One gesture of tenderness from him--and she would have remained cold, untouched..."

Howard Roark and Dominique Francon...what more do I really have to say? There are very few books that I can claim meant something in my life. In fact, there were only two, including this one. Ayn Rand, I would like to say you are sacred, but it might mean more if I just say...you're an incredibly selfish woman. ;P

I don't own the book Fountainhead and I don't own the movie adapted from it. I don't own the song. I simply own the selfish ability that enabled me to make this video. ;P

i dont think she is meant to be portrayed a victim in this scene either. she is only a victim in so far as she falls for him. And here she is, at least in the book, fighting for survival. because loving him is submission, thus she tries to destroy him and fight against it. this is both of them fighting for themselves independently whilst simultaneously giving in. it has to be a struggle or its worthless. it has to be horrific to be wonderful. its so fantastically self destructive of her.

Good lord, I have to say again--absolutely brilliant. I wish I had a proper comeback speech, but you have me absolutely floored. Wow. A brilliant analysis--on youtube, no less! :D

Ayn Rand would have wanted you to not break the copyright laws that actually protect the intellectual property.

Loved the book... but the actors cast as Dominique or Roark don't look like the parts they should've played.

I am convinced by that cogent argument.

You've made me laugh brother

LMAO the people throwing a bitch fit are the equivalent of teenagers stamping their feet in their parents house

Ayn Rand was an advocate of rape as well.

The wealthy gain their wealth off the sweat of the public. They rig the gov't to enable their greed.

@CaninAble-I won't walk away from being called a socialist. Socialism saves, capitalism kills, which is why your uniquely caucasian ass worships the Satanic whore known as Ayn Rand. You want wealth at the expense of others. You hate the poor. You hate working people. Satanism is very Objectivist. Anton Lavey was a fan of Ayn Rand. You hate blacks, hispanics, immigrants. Therefore you worship Ayn Rand. She thought humanity to be lice.

"Rand also believed that the scientific consensus on the dangers of tobacco was a hoax. By 1974, the two-pack-a-day smoker, then 69, required surgery for lung cancer. And it was at that moment of vulnerability that she succumbed to the lure of collectivism."-Joshua Holland, Alternet

"She opposed democracy on the grounds that 'the masses'—her readers—were 'lice' and 'parasites' who scarcely deserved to live."-Johann Hari

Chances are, Rand hated you too. Even all of her followers abandoned her before her death. She got Medicare and Social Security under an assumed name because she couldn't afford healthcare out of pocket.

"Ayn Rand is one of America's great mysteries. She was an amphetamine-addicted author of sub-Dan Brown potboilers, who in her spare time wrote lavish torrents of praise for serial killers and the Bernie Madoff-style embezzlers of her day."-Johann Hari

I guess he's a weenie too. A real man hates the poor and sucks rich dick, eh?
