Fountainhead

Click anywhere below for a very revealing 1959 Mike Wallace interview with Ayn Rand.

There is a second section.

Different.

"The creator stands on his own judgement.

The parasite follows the opinions of others.

The creator thinks.

The parasite copies.

The creator produces.

The parasite loots.

The creator’s concern is the conquest of nature.

The parasite’s concern is the conquest of men.

The creator requires independence.

He neither serves nor rules.

He deals with men by free exchange and voluntary choice.

The parasite seeks power.

He wants to bind all men together in common action and common slavery.

He claims that man is only a tool for the use of others, that he must think as they think, act as they act, and live in selfless, joyless servitude to any need but his own."

Don't forget The Fountainhead.

In maybe/probably my second favorite Gary Cooper movie, Howard Roark is forced by principle to destroy his own creation.

But on the positive side, he gets Patricia Neal.

My favorite?

The Frank Capra classic, way super double highly rated and maybe my all time favorite movie, Meet John Doe.
