The Fountainhead (trailer)

Oh my god. Please read the book first, this movie is NOTHING close to what I had in mind. Oh, and the actors are much too old. They should do a remake of this movie, CAREFULLY, so as to do it justice.

Gary Cooper was a talentless piece of shit.

"The man who refuses to submit and to serve is a man who must be destroyed!" The trouble is, statists today (maybe then) would not state their evil agenda in such obvious, blunt terms. They would accuse Howard Roarke of wanting to hurt the poor and the environment and being funded by rich oil companies. The usual playbook. I thought this in terms of drama rather than politics and philosophy, seeing this movie when I was very young and unsophisticated.

Could have been a great movie ... but turned into a piece of shit by terrible acting, bad casting and a script that could never do the book justice from the need to compress it.

i love gail, roark and dominique

"[T]railer for King Vidors screen version of The Fountainhead with a script by Rand herself. Can you imagine how difficult it was for the actors to get their lines out and try to sound convincing saying them?!?! (Its one or the other!)"
-- Richard Metzger

"Peter Keating, Selfish, Weak!"

LOLOLOLOLOL

Anyone acquainted with the book will laugh at this nonsense.

I do not doubt Gary Cooper is a handsome and charming individual, but isnt Roark supposed to be in his 20s at the beginning and in his 40s at the end? I don't think I (or anyone) read the book for the romance, i think we read it for the struggle. Wilkins, if you want one of Rand's characters to die, read 'We the Living', the girl dies at the end.

Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay, numbnuts.
